As bathing suit season loomes closer...here are some AB tips to whittle your middle into shape!

1. AB tip - dont overtrain them. Don't train them everyday to expect miracles. Remember, muscles need at least 48 hours to recover, repair and grow stronger & more toned. Your ab muscles are just like all your other muscles in your body. A good training regimen this spring would be 3 x a week for about 20-30 minutes.
2. AB tip - remember, its that stubborn fat ON TOP of your muscles that we are trying to get rid of here, so that fantasy of doing 1000 crunches a day to a flat belly is just that, and also a lie.  In order to have ab definition show on your body, you MUST be eating a well-balanced clean diet - based on natural, whole foods that give you and your muscles the nutrition & fuel your body needs to achieve great results.  Again, i stress the "Triad" - your cardio workouts burn calories and fat, your weight training workouts tighten, tone, lift and strengthen your muscles (which in turn boosts your metabolism so you burn calories faster overall during the day), and your daily nutrition should be healthy, portioned balanced meals and snacks to fuel your workouts and your daily routines of life. 
3. TIP - Taking care of your whole body will help you get the abs you desire. Remember, fitness is a lifestyle of health, and a lifestyle of loving yourself. So get out there and like Nike says "JUST DO IT"
