Lingerie-Worthy Abs

It's a fact: abdominals are made in the kitchen; 70% diet, 30% exercise will get you ready to strut your stuff in one of Eve's skimpy outfits. Contrary to popular belief, performing millions of crunches will not get you lingerie-worthy abs. Yes those crunches are strengthening your abdominals, but if there's a layer of fat on top of them, your hubby won't get to see them! Here are 3 rules to fast-track your exercise results and get you in lingerie sooner:

1. Eat a balanced diet consisting of lean protein, healthy fats, whole grains, and lots of fruits and veggies. Great choices: Greek yogurt with fruit and nuts, turkey sandwich on whole-grain bread with a slice of part-skim cheese, banana and peanut butter with celery, oatmeal with fruit and nuts.
2. Incorporate high intensity interval training into your regime. Sprint for 30 seconds followed by 60 seconds (or longer) of recovery at a moderate-intensity pace. HIIT stimulates HGH during and after your workout! 
3. Drink lots of water! It helps move things along so you're not bloated in this (insert image of your lingerie), keeps skin and hair glowing, and hydrates you.
