Get Flat Abs by Training Them to Work on Autopilot

Did you know you can train your lower abdominal muscles to stay ‘pulled in’ all the time?

I’m sure we’ve all had one of those moments on the beach – or just in a very tight top – where a certain person caused a sudden and somewhat violent sucking in of the stomach region. C’mon – I know I’m not the only one who has done this when an object of desire has walked by!

Wouldn’t it be great if you didn’t have to force your lunch back up your food-pipe every time you wanted to impress someone with your flat belly?

Just like an obedient pet, your lower abdominal muscles can be ‘trained’ to do what you want them to - and to look their best at all times. Not only this, but training your abs to function on autopilot will ensure that they are working all day long, not just when you’re at the gym. Talk about maximising success!

Get Better Abs by Creating an Unbroken 30 Day Chain

Did you indulge over Easter? A little chocolate, a break from the gym? And why not! Easter only comes around once a year.

But weekends come around pretty often. So do social events or work lunches or days when you’re too busy to stick to your Flat Stomach plan.

This technique is so powerful, not only will it help you succeed with your Better Abs plan, it can enhance your work productivity, your organization at home and even your learning ability!

Why You’re Not Getting Results Fast Enough - And What to Do

Yesterday I was discussing a client’s weight loss progress with her during our session. Although she was thrilled with how fantastic she felt since changing her eating and happy that the weight loss had begun, she wanted results FASTER and wondered why the weight wasn’t dropping off as quickly as she’d have liked, despite having done everything I’d told her for the last few months.

I could totally relate.

About five years ago I complained to one of my mentor’s, Paul Chek, that my abs weren’t as lean as they should be. I was pretty indignant – I’d been eating according to my Metabolic Type for nine whole months. As well as addressing exercise, stress, and other lifestyle factors.

Our ‘rule’ for how often you can cheat is usually 80/20 (that means eat well 80 percent of the time, not the other way around!) but I was more like 98/2 during those nine months.

So why wasn’t I a lean, flat-ab’d goddess?

Here’s what Paul said…

5 Exercises For Great Bums, Tums and Thighs

Don’t you find that if you haven’t been exercising for a while the areas where you first notice the “damage” are your backside, stomach and thighs?

For many people these areas are the body’s natural fat storage centres. It’s hard to rearrange your biological hardware for a permanently slim bum and tum but there are exercises you can do to make your system run more smoothly and efficiently.

Whilst “bums and tums” classes have become enormously popular they tend to consist of exercises which focus on working one particular body part with small constricted movements such as crunches. The notion that you can “spot reduce” fat from a particular area of your body is a false one. Your body will shed the fat as it sees fit when you burn more calories than you consume.

My five exercises are “big bang” exercises which burn lots of calories in a relatively short period of time e.g. your lunch period. And they can be performed in the gym as well as the comfort of your own home. Read the rest of this entry »
