Workout Tips
- Swap out your sodas for water. This will boost your metabolism and cut calories at the same time.
- Make gradual changes in your diet. Eating a large sweet potato is much better for you than some french fries.
- If you can’t do 20 reps per set, write down how many of what exercise you’ve done and strive to get better.
Having a nice midsection won’t come easy, but these tummy exercises should help you achieve your goal.
Remember, you can’t out exercise a poor diet!
