Why can't I pump up my abs?

Many people, both overweight and those with a normal body constitution, try to pump up the abs, but they fail. Instead of a firm press on their abdomen, they only get frustration and a sore lower back. We will talk about this now.

Why do we spend so much time and effort on working out the abdominal muscles, but we do not see a dry press ... Inside it is like a stone, but outside there is only fat?

Think, maybe the problem lies not in the sports component, but, for example, in nutrition, because if you eat a lot or consume unhealthy, and sometimes unhealthy food: fast food, fried, fatty foods, then there will be no result.

The problem of lack of water is also very common, namely its insufficient consumption, in this case, the body will retain it and the fat will not go away. Sleep little, lack of rest leads to increased cortisol, which in turn helps to store fat. You focus on working out your abs, your abdominal muscles are too small to burn a lot of calories.

There is another problem, you may be genetically predisposed to accumulate a large amount of fat on your belly, even if you have embossed other parts of the body, but this is not so bad, you just need more time to achieve the result.

And yet, within the framework of this article, I will offer you some tips for achieving beautiful abs.

You Can Have Abs While Eating Junk Food

First: you need to monitor your diet and choose healthy foods to eat, excluding unhealthy foods from your diet.

Second: add fiber to your diet, use it in every meal. Food with its content ensures good functioning of the digestive system and is low in calories.

Third: reduce the amount of carbohydrates. They break down into sugar molecules that make the pancreas work. It makes insulin. When blood sugar is high, insulin converts excess sugar into fat.

Fourth, do not forget about water, it should be enough so that the body does not retain it. On average, 1.5 liters of water per day (about 10 glasses) and changes will come in 2-3 days.

And finally, fifth: strength training is more effective than cardio training.

Why? I will answer you: from cardio you decrease in size, burn not only fat, but also muscle. And our task is to preserve muscles and remove fat. Focus yourself on serious movements, such as squatting more and you will not notice how your body will transform.
