We see it every day….
Very heavy people doing 5000 abdominal crunches day by day in the hope of getting that six pack.
I hear it from my clients that are still overweight: ” we need to do more core, cause that’s where I need it!!!”
My question to you is….
Have you ever seen a overweight or obese person with a six pack???
….me neither!
Abs don’t show until you are in the teens in body fat!
There is no magic to it!
Abs are made in the kitchen, not the gym!
Once you are in the lower body fat, you can start bringing them out more…but until then core workouts help with spinal stabilization to support your back!
A strong core will increase overall strength and stability!
So remember 5000 crunches a day will only tighten up your hip flexors….
Stick to core exercises that include planks and other stabilizing exercises!
You also work your core every time you work with weights!!!
Eat clean and stick to the plan for a nice tight middsection 🙂
