Bikini Season Abs

This is a routine to help women get those bikini season abs that they have been looking for.

In this routine you will want to train your abdominal muscles 3 days a week, allowing for proper rest time in between each workout. There are various exercises provided in workout days that you are able to try which target individual muscle groups of the abdominals.

* Workout A

- This workout targets all of the abdominal muscles, focusing upon building and strengthening up the abdominals through exercises such as the plank, side plank and jack-knife crunches.

* Workout B

- On this exercise day the main focus is to target the lower abdominal exercises through complex yet effective workouts. If you do perform this exercise day it is important to have proper strength and balance before initiating the exercises in the day.

* Workout C

- With this workout day you are targeting all of the abdominal muscles again, strengthening the little muscles and stimulating leanness/growth.

* Workout D

- On this exercise day there is the use of weighted exercises to bring out the ab size and definition in the muscles.

You can also add cardio into any of the ab workouts that are listed to burn extra calories for optimal fat loss and definition in the abdominal muscles. Cardio should be performed for up to 30 minutes with a 5 minute cool-down.

*** Notes :

As to any cutting routine, diet is KEY. You need to eat a healthy, clean and strict diet to maintain proper calorie intake to stimulate the fat loss you are looking for. Heavy carbs and processed foods should be stayed away from at all costs while trying to lose weight. You can have a carb heavy meal once a week to help spark an increase in metabolic rate.

Drink plenty of water while performing this routine as drinking water helps keep up your metabolism and hydrate your body/muscles.

There is no need to train abdominals every single day as this will only strain the muscles. You need to allow for rest days to give you ab muscles time to recover and allow for growth.

For the plank and side plank exercises you will want to hold onto the plank position for a count of 60 seconds; this will help strengthen and tighten the core muscles.
