Ultimate Personal Trainers - Training Tips

 Abdominals

Many people believe that the sure-fire way to that elusive six-pack is thousands of abdominal crunches. The end result of this regime is often disappointment and a sore back or neck, sometimes both. Here are some ideas to help you improve your midsection.

DIET It will be impossible to achieve that lean look without reducing the layer of body fat covering your abdominals. Reduce fatty foods and cut down on those beers and take-aways.

TECHNIQUE Gyms are full of people pumping out hundreds of reps with poor technique. Back and neck ache is not part of the course when training abdominals. Ask a qualified instructor or trainer to go through a few exercises with you to make sure your technique is sound.
