        God created the belly for two reasons: to connect the upper body to the lower body and to strengthen your entire body so that you are not as soft and boneless as a rag doll. Since the abdomen is so important, why don't you work hard to develop a pair of solid and beautiful abdominal muscles?

      Diet You might have the most spectacular abs in the world, but if they're covered in fat, no one will know. Remember, you won't gain muscle without food, but too much food will add fat. If you work hard and consistently on your abs for over a year and still can’t see them. Then you should review your diet.

      Frequency: I train my abs every other day. Although most people only practice three times a week.

      Quantity Although many people do hundreds of sit-ups at one time, I recommend that you pick 2 to 4 exercises that are most effective for you and do only three sets of 30 to 50 times each, reaching complete failure in each set. My ab workout never lasts longer than 15 minutes.

      The more weight you use when training for weight abs, the more likely it is that your movements will be irregular, and it will also make your waist thicker. The idea that adding weight will burn more fat is wrong. Therefore, it is recommended that you use tension and control instead of weight-bearing, and use your mind and external weight to tighten and stimulate the abdominal muscles.

      When doing abdominal exercises with sustained tension, keep the abdominal muscles tense throughout the entire set and don't let them relax, either at the beginning or at the end of the movement. Always reach complete failure. Each set should be done to complete failure. Don't count the reps. Keep doing them until you can no longer contract your abdominal muscles. It is not necessary to fully straighten your abdominal muscles when exercising. Don't arch your back but keep your chest slightly tucked in. To focus the tension on the abdomen. The straighter the upper body is stretched, the more force the buttocks participate in, which not only reduces the stress on the abdominal muscles, but also increases the risk of straining the lower back.

      Training moves: I generally only use three exercises. And avoid monotony by changing their order frequently.
