His shirtless pic that went up in December had everyone turning heads and clicking over to his Instagram account. After seeing his before and after, are you interested in making some lifestyle changes too? We don’t blame you. However, while it’s great to use him as inspiration, keep in mind that he is a celebrity, which means that he has perks that us normal folk don’t have. He had trainers, people to create his meals for him, and a studio paying for all of this to happen. It’s much harder to achieve all of this without what he had, but of course, not impossible. While you will need different foods and workouts...

Stomach Vacuum Tutorial For Nice Abs
I had come across some stomach vacuum tutorials on YouTube and was so intrigued by them. You basically breath in deep, and then when you breathe out, you pull in your stomach as far in as you can, toward your spine. What’s funny is that they seem like a different version of a breathing exercise that I would have to do during my martial art classes. From my experience, breathing can really do wonders for great abs. You can feel that your core is getting a good workout. Plus, this is one workout you can do anywhere.
