I've tried all the abdominal exercises you can think of and yet, no six pack. Unlike models such as Gisele (who are on a whole other fitness level then the rest of the world), women don't always have the time to spend 3 hours with their personal trainer everyday. We wish we could to get Gisele's killer bod, but the fact of the matter is we just don't have the time. But before you give up all hope and go grab the tub of Rocky Road, hear me out.
20 minutes of cardio a day is all you need! Run on the treadmill (track, road, etc.), bike, row, or even jump rope for a half and hour and you'll have burned over 200 calories. Add the ab workout below and you'll have done a very fulfilling workout for the day. Now, about that whole but-I-can't-stop-eating-everything-in-sight thing...me either. BUT if you trade an apple and peanut butter for those Oreos and peanut butter or some almonds or a cheese stick instead of chips, you have complete permission to snack all day long. Apples are incredibly filling and almonds are a great source of protein. The point is, while being delicious they are also nutritious and they both keep you full for awhile. Another thing to remember is not to eat while bored. Personally this is my biggest issue. Grab a glass of water, drink it, and wait 15-20 minutes. If you're still hungry, grab a light snack, if not, then you're golden. Many times our minds can mistake hunger for thirst if we're bored so don't go directly to the kitchen cabinet! Keep this is mind and by your next vacation you will be able to feel sexy and confident in that adorable new bikini!
