Want Sexy Flat Abs? Here’s How!

Posted November 7, 2017
By Janis Hauser

Do you FINALLY want to see the flat abs and firm mid-section you desire?

We have the low-down on how you can get tight, sexy abs and lean, toned legs without killing yourself in the gym.

And the best part: you can do all of these in just a few minutes a day!

Get sexy, flat abs in just minutes a day with these great tips from Personal Trainer Food!

These are the easiest and scientifically proven ways to activate your core and burn more fat– as you do your 20-minute walks.

Do these and start LOVING your flat abs today!

#1 Lose 5x More Bellyfat

Burn more fat when you pick up the pace (like this cute baby elephant in sneakers).

Picking up your pace can burn up to 5x more belly fat, meaning you’ll lose more inches around your waist.1

Whether you are new to daily walks or not, always try go just a little bit faster– like you are late for an appointment.

Pro-Tip: Here’s a good rule to know… a brisk pace is about 3+ miles an hour. That works out to 15-20 minutes to walk one mile or 2,000 steps.

#2 Start Burning More at Sunrise

Start melting bellyfat off your waist before breakfast.

An early bird walk in the morning– before you eat breakfast forces your body to dig deeper into your fat stores.

Set your alarm to get your walk in early so you can burn more fat, and then enjoy a delicious Personal Trainer Food breakfast to lose weight fast!

In addition to losing weight, fasted exercise has the surprising benefit of preserving lean muscles while burning fat better than exercising after a meal.2

Pro-Tip: If you drink coffee or tea, have a cup before you walk. The caffeine will help you burn even more fat!

(After your walk, start your day the PTF way with easy-to-prepare eggs. They are a real time-saver so you have more time to make walking a part of your morning routine.)

#3 Walk Backwards

You can do this outdoors, or just face the opposite direction on your treadmill to engage a whole new set of muscles for tighter, leaner legs and super flat abs.

Because backwards walking uses different muscles than forwards walking, it enhances fat-burning– and balance. It’s also easier on your knees.3

Walking backwards like this can help you burn more fat (and out run the bad guys).

Bonus: Backwards walking can make you smarter too!4

Pro-tip: start slow enough that you don’t have to hold onto the rails if you are doing this on a treadmill. Eventually you will get the hang of it and can speed things up.

#4 Drink Up for Flat Abs!

Being even slightly dehydrated affects your exercise performance and ability to burn fat.5 Drinking water also creates flat abs because water flushes your system.

Water is essential to burning more fat and getting a kick ass exercise session in; drink up for flat sexy abs!

Just downing a couple pints of water before heading out on a walk is not enough to offset dehydration– it takes your body 45-60 minutes for the water to go from your stomach to your cells. So drink in advance of your workout.

Pro-Tip: Make it a goal to sip on 3 liters or more throughout your day.

#5 Steps for the Next Level

Stairs are great way to target your calves, thighs, and butt.

This is exactly how Josh started his journey at almost 500 pounds, just look at his transformation!

Josh Steel lost a ton of weight from his belly by taking the stairs.

Inspiring, right? You can learn more about Josh here.

Pro-Tip: You don’t need a full flight of stairs for this to work. Just a few steps, a curb, or a low wall can be used to step up and down to get some extra leg-work.

#6 Get Footloose with a Playlist

Listening to music with a strong, fast tempo will improve your workout.6

Rock, rap, or metal is perfect when you are feeling in charge. Classic guitar a great compliment for quiet moments. Dance and hip-hop will get your rear moving.

Get footloose with your tunes for a better workout so you can burn more fat effortlessly!

Not sure where to start? Think back to your old high school favorites. Those are sure to get your toes tapping.

#7 Take Your Abs for a Hike

The varied terrain on hiking trails more fully engages your core and abs.

Hit the trail to activate your core muscles to lose more weight with Personal Trainer Food.

Using your core burns more fat, makes really flat abs, and gives you good posture, too.

Bonus: you’ll come back from the great outdoors feeling more refreshed than working out in a stuffy gym.7

Pro-Tip: You don’t need to buy expensive hiking boots to hike– trail runners will do it for hiking most trails.

#8 Run Off the Fat –Without Running!

Sully monster knows what to do: hit that incline button to lose 10 to 20 pounds in one month! Ready to burn more fat today? It’s time to to push that button!

An incline actually mimics the motor pattern of running, targeting different muscles so you can burn more fat.

Pro-tip: Add a few degrees on your treadmill or some hills on your walking loop will do the trick.

#9 Adopt a Walking Buddy

Dog owners walk 132 more minutes a week than non-dog owners.

That’s only 8 minutes short of the 140 minutes a week walking goal with Personal Trainer Food!

Just owning a dog means that you are burning more fat for a lean, trim waistline; adopt one today!

Here’s a true story of how Peety the shelter dog helped his owner lose over 140 pounds.

#10 Add Some Bodyweight

Here’s a fast, easy routine that can help you get a stronger, tighter body.

Personal Trainer Food's RECON daily exercise is easy to do, builds strength and lean muscle while you incinerate fat.
