1. Mental Health Check

2. Exercise Check

Your core is absolutely crucial to your workout success. Run faster? Squat heavier? Improve balance? All of this requires a strong core. Plus, summer is around the corner and that means beach time! Jacob has rounded up the best core workouts to get the abs of your dreams and to positively impact the rest of your workout routine. It’s important to note that no matter what workout you are doing, tightening and firing up your core is optimal for success. Check out the step by step workouts below, and the YouTube video at the end.

Do each exercise for one minute - repeat twice if you are feeling up to it!

3. Diet Check

I have said it before, I will say it again, again and AGAIN. If you have specific goals for your body: you have to maintain a healthy diet AND workout. A combination of dieting and exercising works best if you want to lose fat (which is how you will see your abdominal muscles). In a 2015 review published in the Journal of Diabetes and Metabolic Disorders, researchers analyzed 66 clinical studies and came to the following conclusion:

Exercise in combination with diet led to the most significant changes in body composition.

So, the verdict? Abs are made in the kitchen along with exercise. Doing 1000 crunches and 1 hour of cardio a day won’t help you see your abdominal muscles any faster if you don’t make the right changes to your diet.
