Firstly, it takes time and dedication to get your abs popping in time for bikini season – unfortunately, other than surgery there aren’t any quick fixes. Look at my top tips below!
1) Focus on body fat loss NOT just weight loss!
I hate to break the bad news but no amount of sit ups will get your abs to show if you have a high body fat percentage. Focus on body fat loss, this will allow you to drop dress sizes, look great, feel confident within your body and get the abs you’ve always dreamed of! Remember to monitor your progress, take measurements regularly, take before/after photos – sometimes you don’t realise the progress you have already made unless you compare!
2) Track your calories/macros!
Abs are made in the kitchen. Your body will require a certain number of calories each day to survive, you also burn calories by moving around each day. If you are consuming too many calories you will gain weight, if you are in a calorie deficit (burning more than you consume) you will lose weight, SIMPLE! It can be eye opening if you’ve never tracked before – I’d recommend using an app called MyFitnessPal.
3) Burn some serious calories!
Your workouts will also need to be in line with your goals – I’d recommend interval training, HIIT (high intensity workouts) and weight based compound exercises (multi-joint movements like squats, push press and deadlifts). These will help burn as many calories as possible especially if you are restricted on time in the gym or at home. Research has shown these are the most effective methods to target fat loss.
4) Choose your exercises wisely!
Be aware that fat loss takes a lot of dedication and focus to get amazing results – find something you enjoy and stick to it. If you love what you are doing, not only will you do it more often but the workouts won’t feel like a chore! After a couple of weeks change your workouts, progress exercises and create a new workout music playlist.
Follow my top 4 tips to lose stomach fat and you’ll have a great start towards achieving your goals! Consistency is the key, stick to it and don’t give up... you CAN do it!
