Tummy Zapper ?7 Awesome Tips for Fab Abs

     Not all of us are genetically blessed with abs that can rival that of Greek goddesses; we have to work our sorry way to awesomeness. And sucking in your tummy is not going to help you fit back into your skinny jeans again. Here we have listed 7 tips that can get you the fab abs you have always coveted and don't worry, there are no crunches in there.

Crank Up the Cardio

We said 'no crunches', we never said 'no exercise'! A workout does not necessarily mean you have to spend hours locked up in a stinking gym doing pushups or lifting dirty dumbbells. There are other fun ways to do it. Have your dog chase you to run that extra mile, groove to the music, or just plain hop, whatever gets your heart racing. Remember, the focus should be on building muscle and not just burning fat.

Say No to the Belly Bloaters

Say no to belly bloating foods and dig into belly zapping foods instead. Swap fizzy drinks for still drinks, chew slowly and don't forget to take your daily biotic. Biotic increases the production of good bacteria in your tummy, which in turn help process food better.

De-Stress

One way we try to beat stress in our life is by digging into comfort food, which automatically adds on to our hip. While it may not always be possible to give up on sweet treats, just keeping tabs on the amount you consume can go a long way. Also, keep the stress level in check. Stress increases the cortisol count in body, which in turn causes you to gain weight and munch on sweet treats like you've been possessed.

Suck Up Your Tummy and Stand-Up Straight

No kidding! Just by standing up straight and holding you tummy in while you walk can make you look up to 5 pounds slimmer. Not just that, it has tons of other health benefits too such as improving your posture, strengthening your spine and building your core muscles. What's more, it actually does tone your abs.

Introduce Fiber in Your Diet

Forget dieting pills, fiber is what you need. Fiber aids digestion, eliminates waste from your body and keeps bloating in check. What more reason do you want? Stock up on those green veggies and crunchy nuts, right away.

Swap Your Chair for a Fitness Ball

Switch your old chairs for fitness ball, when watching your favorite TV shows. Fitness ball works on your stomach muscles and lower back, so technically you are working out without really breaking a sweat. It is one of the easiest ways you can tone your stomach muscle.

Lower your Sodium Intake

It is time to say goodbye to all those nachos and pretzels you so love. We know it is not always possible to say no to those bloat inducing food, but what we CAN do is take a break from it for some time say two weeks. Let the good bacteria build in your gut and flush out the toxins.

If no exercise or diet has helped you in getting rid of those stubborn paunches then it is time to consult with a personal trainer. The trainer will carefully assess your overall health and build an exercise plan that works for your body type.
