The Men’s Health Personal Trainer ABS
Published April 14, 2024 | 
Good news, pal. The rippling abs you’re after can be yours. What you need is to shed body fat and build up some muscle mass. I’m here to help you do both. I’ll guide you through the best ab workout ever, with eight potent exercises that zero in on your abdominals. You’ll also find some simple weight-loss techniques so your killer abs won’t be hidden by a not-so-attractive wall of pudgey flesh.
Things to keep in mind:
* Before you work out, warm up first with 5-10 minutes of aerobic exercise. You can jog, jump rope or do whatever you prefer; just get your heart pumping and break a sweat. Do the same after the workout to keep your muscles from getting sore.
* If the regimen gets to be a drag, try periodization. That means alternating between heavy, light and moderate workouts. You’ll find this gives you plenty of recovery time and keeps you from burning out.
You’ll see every exercise and I’ll give you step-by-step instructions for each one. Let’s get crunching!
