9 Things You Need to Know About Getting Abs or a Flatter Stomach


Listen Later

With summer right around the corner, I know you are probably hyper-focused on getting six-pack abs or a flatter stomach, am I right?

If you've been following me for a while, you know this isn't a topic I like to focus on, although I know it's a goal for many of you and that's why I think it's important I share these 9 important things with you.

If you are going to the extreme to get those six-pack abs–like doing a million crunches a day, spending hours doing cardio, drastically cutting calories, completely eliminating carbs, or fasting for an insanely long time–you could be doing more harm than good. To be 100% real with you, many of these extreme measures could actually be triggering you to store more abdominal fat instead of burning it. Seriously.

That's why in today's episode, I chat with you about how to actually get a flatter stomach while going about it in a healthy, sustainable, and more effective way.
