Melt Your Middle
There’s no denying that most of us are obsessed with toning our abs. It’s no wonder that sporting goods stores are filled with ab equipment–from DVDs and ab rollers to stability balls and gliders. Maybe you’ve even bought one of these yourself!
Rather than wasting any more of your time with the latest core gadget or waist trainer, read on to read all about the core and how YOU can melt your middle.
To Crunch or Not to Crunch
It used to be that the two most popular ab exercises were crunches and sit-ups. To work your core smart, you need an exercise plan that targets your abs from all angles and ignites total fat burning. In the FASTer Way, we fire up the core without endless crunches and tired old ab moves. If you’re looking for some new variations to add to your ab routine, try these which require zero equipment!

Abs are Made in the Kitchen
There’s a common belief that if you simply do enough core exercises, you’ll get a flat stomach, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. Flattening your stomach starts in the kitchen by eating whole foods, and a balanced diet – this is one of the foundations to the FASTer Way to Fat Loss. By flooding your body with useful nutrients, you’ll experience increased energy and become a pro fat burner! As you burn fat and utilize core strengthening exercises, those defined abs will start to appear as you melt your middle! At the FASTer Way, we accomplish this by utilizing intermittent fasting, carb cycling, balanced macros, whole-food nutrition, along with 30-minute workouts to get you toned and strong!
It’s More Than Aesthetics
Our core does so much more than just help us look good in a swimsuit! Much like building a house, when it comes to fitness and a workout program, you need to start with a strong foundation! A strong, flexible core will help to prevent injuries, increase athletic performance, and improve posture – and, yes, it will help get your abs popping before it’s time to hit the beach! Having a strong core is key for a variety of daily tasks – getting out of bed in the morning, pushing a grocery cart, picking up your child, and vacuuming, to name a few.
With the right diet and exercise strategies, you’ll shed fat to reveal a beautiful core definition!
