Don’t we all want to get rid of the thick, bulging riff on our jeans? Wear tight shirts and dresses with confidence. Show off and flaunt a set of perfectly good, toned abs in a crop top or sports bra. Famous fitness expert Bhavna Harchandrai said, “I’m sure you’ve heard the saying, ‘Your six-pack is made in the kitchen, not the gym.’ Going on a low-carb diet with fruits and high-fiber vegetables, sufficient protein intake, and avoiding simple sugars will help you in your efforts.
According to the expert, mindlessly doing crunches or sit-ups without incorporating the right full-body exercise program just strains your back and does little to shed stored belly fat.
