Abs! The famous six-pack! You dream of having them, but you're not a fitness fanatic and you want quick results. But to get defined abs, you'll need to lose belly fat and regain elasticity and firmness. We have the solution for you! To get visible abs without effort, there are three essentials: a proper diet, an adequate recovery routine and, above all, the use of the Corebelt electrostimulation belt. In this article, discover our tips to help you achieve this goal.
A healthy diet for a six-pack!
For your abs to be visible, your body fat percentage must be low. When a person has a low body mass index (BMI), their abs appear naturally, even if they are not necessarily muscular. This is because with little fat around the stomach, the abs are closer to the skin surface, making them more visible.
The amount of fat needed to make the abs visible varies from person to person. In general, it is advisable to achieve a body fat percentage of less than 14% for women and less than 12% for men in order to obtain well-defined six-pack abs.
Rather than spending hours training your abs, creating a calorie deficit is more effective. Remembering the 20/80 rule: 20% exercise, 80% diet. If you are unable to exercise regularly as you’d like, focusing on a healthy and suitable diet will help you on your way to achieving your ab goals.
-
It is a good idea to prioritise foods rich in protein and fibre, as they promote satiety and help prevent snacking.
-
Calorie deficit: to make your abs stand out, reducing your body fat percentage is essential. A moderate calorie deficit allows you to lose fat while preserving muscle mass.
-
Protein: Eating lean proteins (such as chicken, fish, eggs) helps support muscle growth and recovery.
-
Fibre: Vegetables, fruit and whole grains contribute to good digestion and provide a lasting feeling of fullness.
-
Hydration: Drinking enough water helps prevent water retention and improves digestion. Aim for a daily intake of 1.5 - 2 litres of water.
Recovery, my ally for a flat stomach
Muscle recovery is essential for increasing strength and eliminating body fat, and it is during sleep that muscles regenerate. However, stress can disrupt the quality of your sleep. Studies show a link between high cortisol levels and poor sleep quality. It's a bit like asking which came first: the chicken or the egg.
Either way, a lack of daily sleep can undo all your efforts at the gym. While you sleep, your body repairs muscles, regulates hunger hormones and balances your overall metabolism. When we don't get enough sleep, we tend to eat more, store more fat, and have less energy and motivation, not to mention sugar cravings!
To help you, I suggest trying meditation, incorporating yoga into your daily routine, and avoiding activities that could be detrimental to your mental well-being. Although stress is an integral part of life, it is important to eliminate unnecessary sources of stress as much as possible. When it comes to sleep, try to get about 7 to 9 hours of sleep per night to promote muscle recovery and optimise fat loss.
The electrostimulation belt, for toned abs
What is an electrostimulation belt?
An electrostimulation belt allows you to work your abs without having to exert yourself. By sending electrical impulses, the belt controls your muscles and causes them to contract. It's a natural process: the belt replaces your brain, which normally controls your muscles.
There are many advantages to using a belt rather than doing exercises to sculpt your abs.
Compex Corebelt electrostimulation belts are 100% safe
The advantage of Corebelt sessions is that they are safe: you don't risk hurting your back, as is often the case with crunch or similar exercises. Of course, you can add active abdominal exercises while using the belt if you want to increase the intensity of your workout.
The belts are easy to use and put on
Using the Corebelt is simple and intuitive. Just place the electrodes in the indicated location, put the belt around your waist, and then simply turn it on.
With two sizes available, the Corebelt is suitable for most people. Thanks to an ingenious system, you can easily adjust the belt to your size. The location of the electrodes is clearly marked on the belt. The electrodes connect the belt to your skin for comfortable stimulation. Compex is the best brand for comfortable muscle contraction, which is the key to results.
You can use the belts anywhere
The Corebelt is super portable, meaning you can take it with you wherever you go. It also comes with a handy travel pouch that fits easily inside a travel bag.
The effectiveness of the belts is proven
Most electrostimulators are medical devices. Clinical studies proving their effectiveness support them. Independent laboratories have conducted studies on Compex electrostimulators. To find out more, we invite you to read this article.
How can you get the most out of your sessions to achieve results in 6 weeks?
This is the key! Consistency and intensity are what matter most. You should allow at least 4 to 6 weeks to achieve real results. But once you've achieved your goal, you'll need to maintain it. Luckily, you can introduce new cycles with your belt.
The Corebelt stimulation belt helps you tone or sculpt your abs, depending on the programme you choose, in just 20 minutes, 3 times a week. Yes, it’s really that simple to incorporate the Corebelt and its benefits into your daily wellness and exercise routine.
Intensity is the fundamental parameter of electrostimulation: when training with electrostimulation, the intensity should be as high as possible (the maximum you can tolerate). Obviously, it should not cause discomfort or pain. In addition, it should allow you to maintain your position or perform the desired movement smoothly.
This parameter is important! High intensity allows you to recruit as many muscle fibres as possible.
Get visible abs without effort: focus on consistency
By combining a balanced diet, a good night's sleep and regular use of the Corebelt, you can maximise your chances of developing visible abs quickly. However, it is important to remember that everyone's body is different and results may vary.
To help you achieve your goals, we recommend:
- Regular routine: be consistent in your training and nutrition. Quick results are possible, but they require discipline.
- Track your progress: keep a record of your workouts and meals to track your progress and adjust your programme if necessary.
To optimise your results, regular physical activity is highly recommended.
