Core Strength > Abs
TAKING ACTION:
✅ What questions do you have about core strength? All questions are welcome! Ask away!
Have you always longed for abs?
Well, guess what?
You already have them! 💯
“Abs” are short for abdominal muscles, and yep, you already have ‘em. Just like you already have muscles everywhere else in your body.
The visibility of your abs is another story and depends on the amount of belly fat you have. This isn’t to say you have too much belly fat if you can’t see your ab muscles. Most people must be very lean and have very little body fat to see abdominal muscles.
Your nutrition plays a critical role in the visibility of your abs, but so do genetics. As you’ll read in the article attached, women specifically are predisposed to storing excess body fat—and this often shifts from the hip/buttock area to the midsection/belly area as we enter into perimenopause and menopause. Anyone experiencing this right now? 🙋♀️
The good news is that a strong core is much more important than visible abs! Of course, reducing excess belly fat is also beneficial, but the overall point is that you should work on your core strength regardless of whether or not you can see abs or not. 💯
