Getting washboard style abs isn't an easy task, but there's plenty of people who do it, and you can be one of them.
Achieving the torso of a star all comes down to a simple formula.
If you follow it too, then the results are certain to be yours.
But deviating from it will always result in failure.
So what's this basic formula that's supposed to make everything so easy?! Careful there.
Just because it's a simple formula doesn't mean actually using it is simple.
In fact, the difficulty of going through with it even when you know exactly what to do is part of why not everyone is walking around with washboard abs.
But through a set of ideals narrowed down to their core, you can focus on what's truly important and ignore all the fluff to achieve your dream abs.
The first step in our formula is to drop the body fat.
With respect to appearances, it doesn't matter how strong you are if there's a bunch of flab covering your muscles up.
While you could try to lose weight just in the torso it's generally easier, better, and more practical to focus on a weight loss program that helps out your entire body.
However, this program doesn't have to be particularly involved.
All you have to do is eat right (mostly non-fried vegetables, for the record), and jog on a daily basis.
If jogging doesn't suit you, there are many other exercises in a gym or in your own home that can replace it.
The important thing is to exercise until you're truly tired, to burn off fat, and to eat sensibly, so you keep it off.
Don't go for temporary trend diets - make adjustments to your lifestyle that you feel able to keep up with indefinitely.
While doing all that, though, you should also balance things out with the second half of the formula: exercises that will grow your abs into big beautiful muscles.
Unlike the first step, this part will rely more on activities that focus specifically on your abs.
Anything that puts you off balance so that your abs have to take up the slack will help improve your abs, so you might want to try an exercise ball.
Basic ab exercises can be done with or without an exercise ball or other helpful equipment, and you should try everything both ways.
But this step comes with a limitation, too.
You can't exercise your abs every single day, or you'll break them down faster than they can rebuild.
And that's really all there is to it.
Surprised that this magic formula doesn't have more to it? You shouldn't be.
Looking great has always been a matter of doing just a few simple things.
But it's up to you to keep ON doing them, so don't give up on those abs! Millions of people just like you have them, and so can you!
