I get a lot of “asks” about how to get a 6 pack or how to get the “V-lines” on the lower abs.

The thing that is important to realize, is that the SHAPE of your abs is determined by genetics. You can of course improve them through strength training, but you cannot change their general shape. For example, I tend to have that lower V-line on my lower abs.. even before I started training them! Until your body fat is low enough to where you can see them, you won’t really know what you’re workin’ with! 
You can unveil those abs by getting rid of the overlying fat on top… since it’s impossible to spot-reduce fat, you have  to lower your OVERALL body fat percentage.

Get rid of stubborn fat by:

  • Eat clean in a caloric deficit
  • Cut out simple carbs, junk food, sodas, condiments and sugary/processed foods
  • Control blood sugar by eating small meals every few hours
  • Consume lean protein at each meal
  • Incorporate healthy fats & fibrous vegetables into your meals 
  • Lift weights 
  • Incorporate some HIIT cardio a few times a week
  • Drink plenty of water
     

For those of you who have a Facebook, I’m finally on there! I’ve been posting a variety of things from nutrition, to training, to motivation and recipes. I hope you enjoy it as much as my Tumblr! <3
