It's Time to Get Serious About Ab Work

I have made the decision to give myself a hardcore upcoming workout week. I have already changed my lifestyle - eating, exercising and meditating. However, my dedication to my abs has not been up to par. When I go to the gym, I find it easy to work the upper body (chest, arms, shoulder, etc...) and to do 20-30 minutes of cardio (yes I've been improving). Unfortunately, I let my ab workout slip from my regimen. I am not sure how it happened. It could have been lack of time, boredom with the workout, or maybe it simply slipped my mind. Regardless, next week I am kicking my butt into gear.

I am going to push myself like I haven't done in the past. Eating habits must change, workout has to be revised. This is for the good of me. Abs are the core of the body. It is the midsection that keeps the upper body (including the back) and the lower body strong and balanced. It is also very important in keeping the posture straight. In general, different sections of your body depends on your stomach muscles.

The first thing I am going to do is increase my water intake and decrease other beverages. Drinking water helps flush fat by helping to create a more efficient metabolism. Research has shown that 75% of body is made up of water. By consuming more water we increase our metabolism and burn more calories. That starts now.

I will also plan out my meals and design an exercise regimen that fits my lifestyle and schedule. This is doable. This is not a crash diet, fad, or temporary solution. This will become my life- giving me a longer life.

What can you do to live a longer life? Shouldn't you put your foot... and your fork down and live your life?! Why not start today.
