Ok once the part ONE is done we need to continue the part TWO which is about "10 Short Cuts To Strong Sexy Abs" We need this article so we can get our abs with 6 packs faster! I have highlighted the main points. For FULL article please refer to the link.
1. TRADE CRUNCHES FOR PILATES.
To firm up the muscles beneath your love handles--known as the external obliques--try the Pilates "100s." This exercise was found to challenge more overall muscle in one shot (specifically, the muscles spanning the waist)
2. GRAB A BALL.
Women who did their ab workouts with a stability ball beneath their glutes and lower back got bonus benefits, in a study from the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research.
Try "crossover crunches":
In standard crunch position, bring one shoulder toward your opposite knee. Hold for two to three counts. Start with five to 10 reps on each side. Progress to 10 counts and 20 reps. Do this three times a week, and you can move to the ball after three weeks.
3. LET YOUR BACK COME OFF THE FLOOR.
4. ADD WEIGHT, NOT REPETITIONS.
Your abs are just like your biceps: To make them stronger and tighter, you don't need 500 reps.
5. SLOW DOWN
You'll get the body you want faster by doing 10 slow repetitions instead of 20 fast ones.
6. LIFT WEIGHTS ONE ARM AT A TIME.
When you do upperbody moves one arm at a time, the off-centeredness gives ab and back muscles an extra challenge.
7. INVEST IN CARDIO.
To show off the abs of steel you've been building, 30 minutes of cardio gets you further than 30 minutes of crunches.
8. TRY CHINESE FOOD.
Better: A serving of chow mein with extra broccoli and brown rice has about 10 grams of fiber.
9. CHOOSE THE COOKIE WITH SUGAR.
Many sugar-free cookies are sweetened with sugar alcohols, which can cause gas and bloating, says Leslie Bonci, director of sports nutrition at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. To skip these sweeteners, avoid ingredients ending in "-ol," including sorbitol, lactitol, and maltitol.
10. HAVE THREE SELTZERS THIS WEEK.
Swapping Alcohol for seltzer or another beverage can slim your waist. That's because calories metabolized from alcohol are more prone to be stored as fat around the belly, says Applegate.
