It’s no secret that more people than ever before are struggling to achieve and maintain weight loss, specifically to lose their abdominal fat and get abs. There are so many things that play a part in getting abs and keeping them, and I’m going to share them with you.
No matter where you are in your journey to getting abs, know that it is possible for you. Here is your guide to getting abs fast and keeping them.
Mindset
Every guide to achieving anything should start off with a positive mindset, even a guide to getting abs fast and keeping them. lol
A positive mindset is the first thing you need to create the foundation for achieving weight loss and getting abs. You have to believe that you have abs. When you look in the mirror, no matter what you see, you must still be grateful for the body you have now and the body you will have when you get those abs you want.
I know this seems crazy, but the more you love yourself, the easier it will be to achieve your weight loss goals. Your unconscious thoughts about being fat, unattractive, and undesirable will radiate negative energy from you, to you, and to those around you.
It’s not your body’s fault that you are overweight. Your mindset about food and taking care of your body is at fault.
No matter how you look at it, it won’t help you.
Know Your “Why”
Knowing why you want to lose weight will help you stay connected to it. Everyone’s “why” is going to be different, and that’s okay.
You may want abs for swimsuit season. Or, you may just want abs as a symbol of your core strength to help you do that handstand you’ve been practicing.
Your “why” puts the fire in your belly. It is what gets you up and moving at the gym when you don’t feel like it. It’s what makes you choose non-dairy when you would prefer not to. It unites your passion and drive. It creates continuous intention.
Figure out what your “why” is and never lose sight of it, and it will be much easier to stay on your path to reach your goal.
You Need A Plan
I’ve said this to myself multiple times….If you don’t plan, you plan to fail. Having a plan is a major key to achieving your goal.
When you have a plan, you take the guesswork out of what you are going to eat, and what workout you’re going to do.
When you don’t have a plan, you will get burnt out from figuring things out as you go. This will create problems with your ability to be intentional. It will make it hard to figure out what works for you and what doesn’t.
Here’s a prime example. Before I start training a client, we go over their goals and create a plan. Each week I check in with them to see how the program is working for them. If something is not working, we change it.
This puts us on a better path to achieving their goals. Not to mention, once they reach their goals, they will have a framework of things they know work for their body that they can continue long-term.
A plan will help hold you accountable as well. Once you begin to see results, you will be more motivated to continue.
Let’s face it, when you don’t have a destination, you don’t know where you will end up. It could be at your goals or somewhere else. Why not plan to get to where you want to be?
