Muscle tone comes from strong muscles so you've got to start weight training if you aren't already. No, you're not going to get big and bulky and if you do then ok go ahead and stop! Weight training tones the muscles making you look long and lean. It also makes you strong and helps prevent Osteoporosis and gives you better posture so you can't go wrong with weight training. Make sure you are working all your muscles from head to toe including your legs, glutes, abs, back, chest, shoulders, and arms.

It seems quite ironic to me that having flat and toned abs is such a sought after thing. When you consider the foods that are popular in our culture and how our popular past times focus on 'static' activities like watching TV or playing games - then it is no wonder that 99% of the population have the exact opposite of flat abs. Foods that are high in fat and sugar are incredibly hard to digest and it tends to stay behind in our bodies in the form of fatty deposits.

Aside from the level of attraction the opposite sex would have in you, there are other perks to getting a flat stomach. Getting rid of belly fat reduces your risk of many cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, depression, high blood pressure, and more. Having a strong core will help you to perform daily activities as well as avoid injuries from any strenuous activity you may come up as a responsibility you have to complete, like mowing the lawn, moving, or carrying an injured person.

First, go the FDA website and determine how much water you need to drink per day. Many people are significantly dehydrated, and that can be the cause of many lingering minor health concerns such as headaches, low energy, and similar concerns. Get a pitcher or water bottle that you have somewhere in your home, and fill it up with spring (or filtered) water and put it in the fridge. If you need flavor, get some lemon juice or real fruit juice - or mint - and add it to your water.

For health conscious men and women everywhere, the question of how to get hard abs fast is like the holy grail of fitness. If it were easy, we would all be walking around with six pack abs, but unfortunately getting a lean, toned midsection can take quite a bit of effort and discipline. It won't be easy, but you can get hard abs if you're willing to put in the work.

You do NOT want those ab gadgets sold on the late night TV commercials. They don't work and are very extremely poor use of your efforts. Keep in mind that the infocommercial marketers are very good and one of the best paid professions in the world. Some of them are billionaires and most if not all of them are millionaires! And this is for a reason... they are able to fool and trick many folks into buying a piece of garbage at over inflated prices.

Watch those pre-packaged foods. Many pre-packaged foods such as soups, boxed dinners, and frozen dinners are loaded with sodium. Sometimes one package can have more sodium than you should eat all day so be very careful and be sure to check the label even if it says "low sodium". Instead, opt for fresh foods that will mostly only contain naturally occurring sodium.
