Get Abs

Hey its Jumpin' Jeff here again to help you with your abs. You've gotta work for 'em, but it takes a while! Luckily, the formula to get abs is the same as the general fitness formula: Lose fat, gain tone. It isn't all about doing ab exercises but you've got to do some abs so when the fat goes away, somthing is there!!

Abs are attained by mental intensity. You must exhale during each curl and come to a "locking stop" at the finish of each curl up. Keep the abs flat to your torso and tense hard, then open up. Regardless of the exercise, use the mental intensity tool. Look at the Lifeline Power Wheel and the cable abs options. In my training video there are ample ab options spaced perfectly within the cable workout. Here are some tips:

1. Keep your hands off your head if you want to avoid stretching out or damaging some neck muscles. Hands crossed on upper chest is very effective and safe.
2. Low reps and high intensity are much better than high reps and low intensity. Abs are a power muscle, not an aerobic muscle.
3. Exhale all your air and squeeze the abs forcefully to attain muscle recognition and intensity.
4. Keep abs tight and flat...don't let your abs poof out while doing the exercise.


These tips, along with the Lifeline Cables and some "ski walk" cardio should bring those abs out while the tone comes up and the body fat comes off!!
