- We all want a sexy mid-section and well defined abs, but lets be realistic, there is no quick fixes or short cuts in obtaining great abs. Here’s a few tips that will help you achieve your goals.

• Perform cardio activity before your workout, (you’re able to get a better contraction, it also helps prevent abdominal pulls or strains).
• Contract your abs in between sets, (flexing and stretching between sets may help to build abdominal definition).
• Minimize rest time in between sets, (keep rest to 30-40 seconds between sets, this keeps your metabolism high,allowing you to burn more fat).
• Modify your diet (this is the main factor in determining how your abs will look. “Abs are made in the kitchen, not the gym”). 
• Cutting sodium can make a huge difference in the way your abs look.

- Remember nutrition is what mainly tones!!
