This beginner ab workout takes just 15 minutes a day to get you a 6 pack that you can do anywhere without equipment.
There is an effective way to define your abs. Two things are necessary to achieve that long-awaited and highly visible six-pack: bulging abs and a low body fat percentage.
So if you want to increase the volume of your abs, regular exercise is essential. It is important to strengthen the entire abdominal area and not just focus on one muscle, which can even lead to stagnation of muscle growth.
However, in order to reduce the percentage of body fat, cutting is necessary. Cutting is the unbeatable solution if you want to see perfect muscles develop. Losing weight means eating a healthier and more balanced diet; it is also recommended to do a complementary type of exercise such as this.
