The Fastest Way to Get a Six Pack

Next to getting asked about my hair (surprisingly), I’m most frequently asked about my workout regime. If you follow me on Snapchat (un: notanothrblonde) you’ll see me post a daily workout picture saying “BBG week 5 day 3” or something along those lines. Most of you know by now what BBG but if you don’t… Google it.

(Business side note: One thing Kayla, founder of the Bikini Body Guide, doesn’t offer is an affiliate program which is unfortunate because I think it is a huge loss for her most loyal fans and their friends. Why not reward your biggest advocates with a 5-10% affiliate program? I bet she’d get a lot more sales if she did. You all know how passionate I am about affiliate links so that’s the reason I won’t link her guides here.)

best ab workouts

Anyway, like most other busy side hustlers, I don’t have time to go to the gym every day for hours at a time, because I’m doing other things like working on my blog, collaborations, reading, etc. And so the Bikini Body Guide is the best and fastest way to get, you guessed it, a bikini body.

All you need to do is set aside 28 minutes a day, 3 times a week. I saw results in 1 week and after 2 weeks I was on an upward spiral to something I was beginning to think was a myth: abs.

Another thing – on my “days off” from BBG, I use the Train with Tanya app and pick a random workout. These workouts are typically 16-20 minutes and they work different muscle groups than the BBG so that way I don’t hit a plateau.

You’re probably thinking, ‘Great where do I sign up?!’. Well, hold on speedy we’re not done just yet…

The key to the Bikini Body Guide is to live in accordance with a healthy lifestyle. If you’re doing these workouts then housing cheesesteaks, fries, and cupcakes after, you won’t notice much.

The same goes for your mental health, too. If you’re working out with a negative attitude you’ll be lethargic and you most likely won’t complete the full daily workout, let alone the entire 12-week program.

the ab diet

The “ab diet” I use doubles as my everyday diet. I call it the “ab diet” because when I’m eating this way, my abs are at their prime. So what is it?

Don’t eat shit. Period.

I also don’t eat meat aside from fish but I know people who eat chicken who look better than me so I don’t think cutting meat out is a huge factor to getting abs. I will say that when I just eat fish, fruits, and veggies, I look great and I feel great. It’s a really simple concept and anyone who tries to complicate it by carb counting or restricting you to nuts only or low sugar or whatever is full of crap.

I mean, I’m no nutritionist but it seems logical to me that when you eat whole foods from the ground and fish/meat that is low in fat and hasn’t been pumped with hormones, your body is going to do well. If you want more specifics here’s my “ab diet” broken down meal by meal:

Breakfast: 1-2 egg omelet with spinach and soy cheese topped with sea salt and 1/2 avocado and grits

Snack (lately): raspberries and/or blueberries (I usually will have some sort of fruit as my morning snack)

Lunch (lately): celery sticks, carrot sticks, cucumbers and hummus

Snack (lately): graze box (peanut butter and jelly is my fave right now) OR sundried tomato rice crisps

Dinner: salmon with cajun or lemon, pepper, and capers and broccoli (or any veggie) OR teriyaki tuna with veggie and rice OR veggie chili OR some other easy fish and veggie combo

bonus tips

• Workout first thing in the morning – speeds up your metabolism, jumpstarts your day
• Meditate after your workout for 5-10 minutes – all your endorphins (happy chemicals) will be pumping which is the perfect time to rewire your mind for a positive day
• Eat 5-6 small meals throughout the day – speeds up your metabolism and prevents you from overeating
• Drink 2 liters of water – this is the approximate amount for an active female, water also curbs your appetite
• Think of how good you’ll feel – looks aren’t everything but when we look good we feel good and vice versa

 

The Kayla BBG is intense and challenging at times with a good mix of burpees, push-ups, jump squats, and sit up twists. But I promise you it’s worth it!
