5 Secrets to Summer Abs by Obinna Udora
for FitNigeria™ (as written for www.tayobero.com)


The warm weather in the summer gives us an excuse to wear less clothes, buy a new swimsuit & show some extra skin. Here are some tips from my experience to achieve washboard abs.


1.     Make sure you train mean as nothing good comes easy! Do not focus on crunches, do full body workouts. Other exercises activate your core to maintain stability. Examples of good workouts to add to your routine include squats, burpees, push-ups, planks etc.
2.     It’s simple, make sure CALORIES OUT > CALORIES IN.
Eat clean, intake good calories, drink lots of water and avoid eating late (or just before bed). 
3.     Maintain good posture and keep your core tight. You may have heard that ‘Suck belle, make the shirt fine’ saying. Well it holds true actually, suck your belly in while working out and through out the day.
4.     Be patient, set reasonable goals and make working out a lifestyle. Many of the people we see with sexy bodies have been at it for years so do not be discouraged.
5.     Lastly, it’s okay to cheat. Yes, I’m contradicting the second point made earlier. Just like you should practice muscle confusion for muscle growth (more on this in later posts), eating only very healthy meals can slow down your metabolism. A cheat meal or two per week will confuse your body, motivate you to get back to training and also give you the needed break to prevent you from getting bored of healthy.
