Fit Tip:
Something I want to address, we've talked a lot about abs, everyone wants tight abs because that's what society calls "fit." But did you know, you cannot out work a bad diet?
Abs are made in the kitchen!
"Recent studies have found that as a country, we are exercising more. Great! However, as a country, we are becoming more obese. Wanna know why? An hour on the elliptical does not erase the Frappuccino you just inhaled. To see your abs, that are in there, you have to eat clean. Truly, there isn’t one fitness goal you can reach without a clean diet. You may think you eat healthy, but you need to be real with yourself. Is your healthy food outweighed by your unhealthy food? If your protein shake each morning is Starbucks, I implore you to rethink that plan. Does your nutrition plan include things like foods labeled “diet,” soda, artificial ingredients, soy protein drinks, processed foods? If so, kiss those sweet abs goodbye. Do you not eat enough? You cannot starve yourself! Your body needs fuel to build muscle.
So what I’m saying is, get on a clean eating regimen (at least 80% of the time, if not more!) Couple that with your workouts! Remember, 20% is a big piece of the puzzle, don’t skip the workout. You will start to see the results you are seeking and you will feel better overall."
