How To Get Sexy Abs Fast

Learning how to get sexy abs fast isn’t hard as long as you know what you’re doing. Here are a few tips on how to get sexy abs fast.
First if you want to reveal your hot sexy abs, you must lose excess weight and fat overall. There is no such thing as “spot reduction”; you cannot only lose weight on your belly. To lose weight overall start doing cardio exercises.
Running outside is a good way to build up your stamina and burn the fat. It’s so much better than doing it in the gym – remember a one per cent incline on the treadmill is almost the same as running on a flat surface outside.
Once you lose all the weight, you want to do specific exercises to define and tone your abs. Here are 5 of our favorite abdominal workouts.
Leg Pull-Ups
Hang from a bar then raise your legs to a 90-degree angle while clenching your abs; hold for three seconds, then lower for four seconds.
The Plank Position
- Lie face down on a mat resting on your forearms, your palms flat on the floor.
- Push off the floor, rise up onto your toes and rest on your elbows.
- Keep your back flat, in a straight line from your head to your heels.
- Tilt your pelvis and contract your abdominals to prevent your rear end from sticking up in the air.
- Clench your abs for 10 seconds and then relax for five. Repeat this exercise for 40 seconds.
Reach for the Sky – Rocking Double Crunch
Lie flat on your back with your legs at a 90-degree angle. Raise your back several inches from the ground so that the core of your abdominal area is tense. Rock from side to side, touching as far down the side of your feet as possible, one foot at a time.
Benchmark – Chest Press
Bench presses are really good for developing your chest muscle – and if you raise your legs slightly above the bench, you’ll really work on the core of your abs.
Flatten Those Abs – Circular Leg Crunches
Lie on your back as if you’re going to do a sit-up, but keep your head and back flat on the floor. Lift your legs up slightly above the floor, spread them apart and rotate them from the hip in a circular motion.
Finally, in order to have and maintain rock hard sexy abs you must eat healthy. Food and nutrition are the building blocks of your body. Feed it garbage, and you will feel and look like garbage.
Treat your body as the temple it is. Everyone has got abs underneath; it’s just a matter of losing weight, doing the right exercises and eating nutritiously that will help you to show them off.

How to Prevent Holiday Weight Gain

Jennifer Nicole Lee is a fitness expert and author who was Miss Bikini America in 2005 and Miss Muscle and Fitness.
“This is the sticky time where your good habits will be put to the test, and your taste buds will be teased! I call it the “Tough Times” for passionate fitness lovers such as myself. Between Thanksgiving and Super Bowl Sunday, we as Americans will indulge in food and drink like no other time of year. And the results? Well maybe we won’t feel it just after that one sip of eggnog, but we will end up paying for it over the long haul.
While those endless appetizers, huge portions of desserts, and endless glasses of cocktails may taste heavenly, for the average person, that equals gaining fat and weighing more on the scale. And the amount of extra “tinsel” around the waistline may vary for some. And don’t be fooled even by one pound as it may seem little, but this extra weight accumulates and may later contribute to obesity. And obesity sadly enough affects about 1/3 of Americans.
Achieving the utter impossible, staying slim and trim during the holidays, is not about denying yourself the rights to a small portion of what you love. And it’s not about having to live with flavorless, boring food. My advice is simple, such as cooking with healthy, fresh ingredients, watching your portion control and choosing quality over quantity. Don’t worry, just follow my 3 tricks to staying slim and trim during the holidays, and YOU WILL eat like a queen or king and stay slim and trim!
1. PAY ATTENTION!
Pay attention! This is the calling card that I tell my sons every day! Pay attention to details! And the same philosophy pertains to us adults too! I don’t want you to feel that you can’t enjoy your holiday meals, but you have to pay attention. Just because it’s the holidays, and it’s time to get joyful and gather together, it doesn’t mean that it’s a free for all showdown of food and gluttony.
Paying attention means being smart and becoming a “Concoction Queen!” I want you to focus on choosing healthier and fresher ingredients over packaged foods. I choose fresh local farmers market vegetables to prepare my warm casseroles with, instead of canned. And go for the color! The more colorful your plates, the more vitamin and antioxidant packed they are. So eat the rainbow this season, and you will keep your immunity on an all time high!
Instead of a lot of creams, half and half, and butter, use fresh veggies topped with a touch of low fat cheese and low sodium bread crumbs. You will find that you re able to enjoy the fresh sweet taste of nature without all the sugar, carbs, and empty calories. I substitute sugar free orange preserves instead of sugar in most of my fruit glazes, thus slicing the calories in half. And I also suggest olive oil in sautéing and roasting instead of butter. Not only are you adding flavor, but also antioxidants and good for you fats.
And you don’t have to have a ton of fat and salt in a recipe for it to be a crowd pleaser. When preparing a health-conscious holiday meal, try incorporating like-minded concepts and choose nutritious recipes. In my www.FitnessModelProgram.com you have a ton of recipes that you can even use for a large holiday gathering, but just up the ingredients by 2 if you have a party larger than 4 people.
Another general rule of thumb is to make a list of missing ingredients from the pantry including quality olive oil, sea salt, peppercorns, low-sodium chicken stock, balsamic vinegar, dried fruits and nuts – which add nourishing flavor to any meal. With these and more of the basics on hand, you’ll avoid resorting to boxed mashed potatoes or canned cranberry jelly.
2. Control Thyself! Also Known As Portion Control
Others say you can indulge as long as you practice moderation.
And yes, ladies, SIZE does matter! As in serving sizes! Don’t sabotage yourself by eating that extra serving. Instead have a few bites and savor it! And if you can also aim at leaving some food on your plate, you will be saving both time in the gym and also saving a few extra calories from winding up on the scale.
Use my “JNL Holiday Plate” Equation to say slim and also to not hurt the chef’s feelings: With respect to the almost endless string of seasonal parties and gatherings you will attend, follow this trick: At dinner parties and brunch buffets, fill half your plate with vegetables and the remaining quarters with protein and a whole grain carbohydrate. By taking lunch and nutritious snacks to work, you avoid gorging on catered meals and boxed sweets frequently passed around most offices. It’s also important to eat a small, healthy snack before heading out to a party; attending one on an empty stomach will often lead to overeating. Don’t allow that “super hunger” trigger to cause you to go overboard at the buffets. And leave food on your plate! It’s almost rude to eat it all, because in some cultures an empty plate signals that the host did not prepare enough food, and that you want more. So by leaving a few bites left, this signals that you are full, and the chef did prepare adequate food. (I learned this in China!)
3. Always Pick Quality Over Quantity
Eating during the holidays is not a “Who can Unbuckle Their Pants First” Competition! With so many choices at the dinner table or office potluck, it’s hard to resist spooning a bit of everything onto your plate. Then, we often swallow bites of food that we don’t savor, plus didn’t even want in the first place!
Instead eat things that look really good to you, but if they don’t taste as good as you thought, don’t finish it. This is not the time to be part of the clean plate club.
Cheers to your health and happiness,
Jennifer Nicole Lee”

The Ball Buster: Lay your back on a yoga ball with your knees bent 90 degrees and your workout buddy holding your feel down.
Lean all the way back holding a small 5 pound weight behind your neck crunching up and actually curling your torso inwards towards your belly button and at the same time turning your pelvic muscles up.

The Pendulum: Lay on the floor while holding your workout partner’s ankles.
Bring your legs up and have your partner push them down to the floor and then snap your legs back up-the key is to use resistance when your legs are being pushed down.
