Almost every fitness enthusiast wants to score a pack of abs and flaunt it during a beach vacation or to creep out others by going shirtless in public. Obviously, everybody wants that toned, beautiful, tough, attractive, and sculpted set of abs.

 

It is important to build up and strengthen your abdominal muscles by targeting them specifically. Try to mix and match your workouts and keep them fun and challenging with different workouts and levels of intensity.

 

Getting a pack of abs is difficult, but if you’re dedicated enough and know how to put all your focus in, it can actually become a pretty simple task.

 

Firstly, the body fat which we are carrying has to be low enough to see the abdominal definition. This is absolutely a challenge. Secondly, throw out all of those isolated ab exercises that claim to blast away fat and replace them with those which will tone your abs to the most chiseled version you desire!

 

So take the concept in a very simple way, if you have a layer of fat around your waist, you'll never see your abs, no matter what you do!

 

Now how to solve this problem? Well, there are a number of things you can do.

 

Also, to get the most out of your abdomen you have to follow a combination of different healthy diet plans, interval training, and muscle strengthening exercises.

 

Here’s a list of exercises, you need to follow if you desire to build strong impeccable ab muscles:

 

  • Hand to shin stretch

Do you want well-toned abs? Then you should include this workout in your daily routine. Straighten your legs out and raise your arm straight above just parallel to your ears. Now raise one of your leg and the opposite hand towards each other. Return to the initial position and repeat on the opposite side. Keep in mind to breathe regularly. Repeat for a multiple number of reps.

 

 

  • Scissors

 

Scissors workout is an excellent core workout which will help you to complete your dream job, i.e getting abs. This will burn your fat quickly, giving way to your ab muscles to develop. For scissors workout, you have to raise both your legs towards the ceiling. Place your hands on your butt cheeks. Keep both your legs absolutely straight. Now, lower your left leg until it’s about six inches off the floor. Don’t forget to lift your head and shoulder off the floor and support the back of your right leg gently.

 

 

  • Bicycle crunches 

 

Bicycle crunches are an excellent exercise for building your abs. They help build your upper and abdominal muscles and also help in toning your thighs. For doing this exercise you don’t need any equipment. All you need is a bit of space to lie down and workout.

 

Lie down on your back and place your hands below your head. Always keep in mind that you do not lock your hands or don’t try to raise your head using your hand as support. Slowly lift your legs and try to pedal your legs as if you’re riding a bicycle. Drive your right elbow towards your left knee while extending your right leg. Do the same with the other elbow and leg.

 

 

Let’s have a look at some of the best diet combinations, which can help us more in losing that excess belly fat.

 

For starters, you should eliminate the causes of belly fat:

  • Stop drinking sodas
  • Stop drinking alcohol
  • Stop eating junk food
  • Go to bed earlier
  • Don’t sit all day
  • Stop eating at night
  • Concentrate in your diet
  • Count your calories

 

Now follow these tips

 

  • Drink  at least 8 glasses of water
  • Don’t skip meals - breakfast especially, eat an apple for a dinner
  • Sleep enough (at least 7 hours)
  • Increase daily physical activities
  • Don’t eat after 7 p.m.
  • Eat high-fiber foods and high - protein foods
  • Exercise a lot

 

Keep this in your mind that along with so many ab workouts, a healthy diet will set you on the path to achieving your desired goal. Consult a dietician or a nutritionist for a perfect diet. As people always say that “Abs are made in the kitchen”. A person should have a high protein diet such as consuming low-fat cheese, an apple, nuts, broccoli etc. Eating on time will give your metabolism a much-needed boost.

 

Some food which helps in burning your belly fat along with building your 6-pack ab set:

 

 

 

  • Fish

Fish is a great source of Omega-3 fatty acids which your body cannot produce on its own. It will burn your fat faster and lead to efficient weight loss to further help build your abs.

  • Nuts

Make a habit of eating nuts regularly as nuts can bepart of a healthy diet to reduce belly fat, but as long as they are consumed in moderation. Nuts are full of essential nutrients, such as protein and monounsaturated fatty acids, but they can also be high in fat and calories.

  • Fibres

Consuming fibre each day can help you lose weight and belly fat, lower your blood pressure, and improve your body’s response to insulin just as effectively as a more complicated diet. The best way to get more fiber is to eat a lot of naturally planted and grown foods like vegetables and fruits. Legumes are also a good source, as well as some cereals like oats.

So, focus on consuming high-quality nutrition and stay dedicated to your regular abs workout routine. Follow simple and effective moves which can help you tone your core muscles. To reach your goal for a toned tummy all you need is a little motivation and a lot of commitment. Just move according to the plan.
