5 Best Moves for Flatter Abs Flatten your belly, strengthen your core, and cinch your waist

8:Focusing only on the “beach muscles” is a big scam. Most of those muscles are secondary and small compared to the rest of your body. For example, the biceps are a small muscle group. If your workout consists of 500 bicep curls, yeah they will be pretty sore, but you really didn’t do much calorie expenditure.

Most of the “beach muscles” like the biceps, triceps, abs, and calves are involved in the lifts that get bigger muscles involved anyways. Think about the squat, for example. the main working muscle is the glutes. Your calves and core are also involved in this movement though.

Worry about the show-off muscles quickly at the end of your workout. It doesn’t take much to fatigue those smaller muscles.

7:The gym has a social aspect, there’s no doubt about it. There are aerobics classes, spin classes, and some trainers put on group training sessions. There is a time to socialize, but when someone is in the zone don’t bother them.

A good time to meet new people is immediately upon entering the gym, before a class, after class, or even at the water fountain. The key is to know when it’s acceptable to talk to someone, and when they want to be left alone.

If someone is just walking around, it may be ok to walk up to them and start a conversation for a very short time. If someone looks like they’re in the zone and they have headphones in, they probably don’t want to talk to you.

Keeping the social aspect of the gym to a minimum will also keep yourself on task as well.

4: Lifting weights will give you all the aesthetic benefits that you want, but you can’t forget about your heart and lungs. Even if you’re a bodybuilder you have to do cardio on a regular basis to exercise your heart and help your lungs to work efficiently. Cardio also burns a ton of calories, but most of it is from glycogen stores.

3: After a workout when your muscles are warm is the time to hold stretches for extended periods of time. Static stretching increases your range of motion, mobility, and helps your body recover. This is different from the dynamic warm-up that you should do at the beginning of your workout.

Static stretches should be held for at least 30 seconds. As you get older, muscles tend to get stiffer and less pliable so the stretches need to be held longer. This type of stretching relaxes your body and can prevent serious back pain.

2: Water has some incredible health benefits. The body needs water to function properly, especially at intense levels of training. The most efficient way to always make sure you have enough water is to bring a gallon jug with you. You can add flavor to the water as well, which will make it slightly easier to drink.

1: After a heavy workout your muscles will be in a weak state. That means your body will start to break its own tissue down for energy. In order to gain the lost lean muscle mass, you have to intake lots of carbs and protein. Ideally within 30 minutes of a workout. Chocolate milk has an optimal ratio of carbs and proteins for recovery.

Protein supplements are effective and practical, but you want to make sure that the sugar content is low. The absolute best way to refuel your body is with an actual meal.
