Hi everyone and HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY to all the mom’s out there!<\/p>\n

I wanted to give a quick overview of the quickest way to lean out the abs as well as beat the bloat\u2026.especially since summer is here and many of you will be hitting the pool , beach or vacations. The only way to truly shed fat is to have a healthy and clean diet. When you hear the phrase “abs are made in the kitchen”, this is so very true. \u00a0Yesterday I was just featured on CBS 5 news going over the BEST foods for your abs and why they are so good as well as going over some ab exercises that you can do in addition to a healthy diet.<\/p>\n

1. Water – staying hydrated keeps your body for retaining water as well as keeps your metabolism going.<\/p>\n

2. Lemons- helps to detox- I squeeze in my water<\/p>\n

3. Asparagus- natural diuretic. Great to add to diet when wanting to shed some water weight.<\/p>\n

4. Lean protein- keeps insulin levels steady. Helps metabolism .<\/p>\n

5. Apples- the fiber in apples aids in digestion and helps with bloat. aim for 1-2 apples a day<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In addition to healthy foods you can also add these AB EXERCISES into your routine as well:<\/p>\n

1. Reverse crunches- back on the ground, legs straight up in the air and lift hips toward ceiling (works the lower ab)<\/p>\n

2. Side planks- works the oblique<\/p>\n

3. Frogger crunch- feet are together , knees out and crunching elbows toward knees<\/p>\n

Aim for 4-5 sets of 15-25 on each exercise.<\/p>\n
