3 Keys to Awesome Abs

Doing endless crunches is a pointless plan for taking inches off of your waistline.

Hour-long "core" classes won't remove any fat from your abs.

"Spot reduction" doesn't work.

There have been plenty of times I've finished an entire workout, complete with warm-up and cool-down, in less time than others have spent just doing ab exercises.

What a ridiculous waste of your valuable time!

And what's even worse is that so many people pick the easiest (and therefore least effective) exercises to do for an hour.

Total-body exercises do much more for your abs than any crunch ever will.

Here are your 3 Keys to Awesome Abs:
  1. Fat loss through nutrition
  2. Fat loss though metabolic training (bodyweight circuits/barbell compounds/interval training)
  3. Ab strength from proper exercises.

While those endless abdominal workouts are useless, I include the absolute best ab-building, back-strengthening, kick-butt exercises in every program here at Carson City Fitness Systems.

You'll get those sexy abs with no wasted effort.

Now a friendly reminder: Of your 3 Keys to Awesome Abs listed above, our workouts will take care of numbers two and three.

The most important thing you can do if you want rock-hard abs is to make and follow a sound nutrition plan.

All of my clients are introduced to the 7 Fundamental Rules of Nutrition, which they can build their eating habits around.

Eat right, train hard, and you'll see those abs before you know it!

Want more, do more, BE more,
