Get Beach-Baring Abs!
Active Lifestyle Is the very thought of going to the beach and taking off your shirt a little frightening to you? Over the cooler months, many of us put on those extra pounds that are usually attributed to late-night drinks and pizza while watching our favorite sports. If you feel a bit self-conscious revealing your stomach, we're going to help you out. This summer, you'll have the confidence to take off your shirt at the beach or the nightclub (if that's your style) by simply following these three easy steps.
If you really want your abs to show through and get a great body, this one's a no-brainer. Chips, pizza, and soda aren't doing your body any favors. Try to make a couple of simple small steps to change your diet rather than drastically altering your eating habits all at once. Begin by drinking more water throughout the day, paying attention to your portion sizes, and making healthier choices when eating out. To help control your appetite, take a serving of Hydroxycut® 30 minutes before your breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Myth: "I just don't have abs!"
Fact: Everyone has abs. You just need to take the right steps to reveal them. Combining Hydroxycut® with your diet and exercise plan is one of the best ways to quickly reveal a shredded physique complete with a sizzling six-pack.
It goes without saying that if you're trying to lose weight - especially that extra tire around your waist - Hydroxycut®, a weight-loss supplement with clinically proven ingredients, can certainly help to speed the process up. Two 8-week clinical studies have been conducted on the key ingredients in Hydroxycut®, and the test subjects using the key ingredients in Hydroxycut® actually lost up to 4.5 times the weight than those subjects who were just dieting and exercising alone.* What does this mean for you? If you're trying to obtain those great abs, include Hydroxycut® in your lifestyle to help yourself control your appetite, burn more calories, increase your energy, and lose weight fast!*

Upper, middle, and lower abdominals
Position and Movement
Position yourself standing on the chair, and grip the handlebars to stabilize your upper body. Slowly raise your legs and pause at the top. Slowly lower your legs back to the ground.
Tip
Don't let the force of gravity pull your legs down. Instead, use control the entire way down, allowing your legs to resist against the pull
Upper, middle, and lower abdominals and obliques
Position and Movement
Using a horizontal bar, position your grip on the bar a little wider than shoulder width. Hang from the bar so your legs dangle straight down. Slowly bring your knees up, twisting to the right side as you raise them. Hold the position at the top before slowly lowering your legs to starting position. Repeat on the left side.
Tip
As you become more advanced, try adding a light weight between your ankles to add more resistance to this exercise.
Upper and lower abdominals and obliques
Position and Movement
Sit on a mat with your legs bent at 90 degrees. Hold the medicine ball in your hands. With your body in a straight position, twist your arms from side to side, bringing your hands high above your head as you twist. Focus on your breathing, and use control to bring your arms down to each side.
Tip
If you don't have access to a medicine ball, use a dumbell instead.
Upper and lower abdominals
Position and Movement
Begin on your hands and knees with the ab wheel in front of you. Grip the handles of the wheel with each hand. Keeping your abs tight and arms straight, slowly roll the wheel out in front of you. Go as far as you are comfortable, hold for a two-count, and then roll back to the starting position.
Tip
Make sure you keep your head and neck up throughout the full range of motion.
Lower abdominals
Position and Movement
Sit on a bench or chair. Lean back slightly and stabilize yourself with your arms on the sides of the bench or chair. Raise your legs up, and bring them toward your chest (the closer you bring your knees to your chest, the more of a contraction your abdominals will get). Bring your legs back down, but try not to let them touch the floor.
Tip
You can make this exercise a bit easier by crossing your legs at the ankles during the movement. Avoid tucking in your chin as you do this exercise. Try to look forward.
