How to: Get Abs/six pack

So this is a question I get asked a lot and that I know people wonder about. How do you get abs?

So..

Your abs are the centre piece of you. They keep you up right and keep you steady. If you didn't have abs you wouldn't be able to sit up straight.

It's important to know everyone has abs. Everyone has the muscles, just some are stronger and in result show more.

I think everyone wants those athlete six packs but in theory, their is no reason why you can't!

To build abs you need to loose fat, this is what covers the muscles so you can't see them and then it looks like don't have abs!

Steps to the perfect abs!


Eating clean, this means your changing your diet so that you can build muscle! Even if you want to build abs for appearance reasons it will still help with your posture! If you want to know some super foods for weight loss..http://behealthy2behappy.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/hi-everyone-today-i-dont-have-workout.html


Core work, this involves all the sit ups, crunches, obliques and planks! They are painful, but necessary if you want the killer abs!

If your new to core work then try my 8 day ab challenge, this is based for beginners and eases you in slowly making sure that you can adjust! You can find it here..



A quick challenge that is more advance can be found here..

Burning fat; running burns fat, the most of any exercise! So this is important to make sure you just have muscle! If you don't have the time for a run try this workout at home.. 


Now YOU CAN GET ABS! That's so important to stress, if your willing to work hard, you will have the body you want! Just remember to work hard and eat clean and you will can achieve!



Good luck on your journey

What to do at the gym

So this is a question that I get asked a lot, what to do at the gym?

Do I do running?

 Do I do weights?

I thought I would start by telling you what I do at the gym..


Warm up.. 

This involves cardio, I like to either jog for 5 minuets or go on the elliptical.
The time changes depending on how I feel.

Then...

I always like to change it up, I don't like to do the same thing all the time but often I run for about 10 minuets alternating pace.


After..

I go and do weights, now if your a woman and scared of doing weights because your worried you will 'bulk up' don't worry...you won't. Doing weights can help strengthen bones and muscles and can help you looking toned and fantastic!

Shortly after...


I do core, everyone wants abs! I do sit ups for about burst of a minuet with half a minuet rest imbertween. These are great, but they take are a slow burner. To get a sudden burn I recommend crunches!

To finish..

I do a little more cardio. A bit on the bike or elliptical to get my heart going. When I finish this I do some stretches and then I am done!





So if you want to loose weight...


Do cardio. This is a brilliant fat burner! Running I think is the best but elliptical isn't slacking! These are great as an interval training tool for a killer workout. Alternating pace is great because it keeps you entertained and makes your body work so hard! You could always do a steady run for a good workout as well.

If you want to tone up..

Still do cardio but do more emphasis on the weight machines or free weights. These can help you get the muscles you want. Focus on an area that you want toner and then think of an exercise that particularly burns that area..Then, your good to go!


If you want to build endurance..

It depends on the type of endurance, muscle endurance is different to cardiovascular. To build endurance you need to do that activity for a long time so bare that in mind! To mix things up try different types of equiptment! This can help with boredom.


I hope that helps you with what to do at the gym, if your not a gym person..their is so much stuff you can do at home.

Quick and Easy Breakfast

Breakfast is the MOST important meal of the day, it kick starts your metabolism and gives you enough energy to face the day. 


I know it is sometimes hard to fit in, you might over sleep or just never have time for it!

That is where I am here to help you. I have found a quick, easy and cheap idea that you can use for breakfast that is healthy and nutritious.



Quaker Oats porridge Pots to go!



These are available from any super market under £1.


When you open the pot, you will need to mix it around. The milk powder often hasn't dissolved. You have milk powder so you can add water and still have creamy porridge!


Once mixed, you should then have some oats that look like this! Now time to boil the kettle!



Once the water is added, it will look a bit in appetising! Fill up to the line in the pot!



 But give it a mix for about 15 seconds and it should already be more smooth!


If you have a sweet tooth, like me then you can add a squirt of honey.
Honey is great because its a natural sweetener and is delicious, 


Put on the lid for a minuet to allow it too thicken. All instructions are on the back!





Finally, I love to add a banana in the mix or I just eat it on the go.

I love to slice my banana up into bite-size chunks in my porridge.





Also, water is essential. You need to hydrate your body!





Hope you found this useful, good luck everyone!
