Losing weight, eating healthy and getting regular exercise top the list of most popular New Year’s resolutions every year. However, a scant few of us manage to hold on to those goals beyond the six-month mark. Why?
One of the main contributors to people failing to create an exercise habit is overenthusiasm. Jumping into an intense exercise program or a strict diet is a recipe for failure. In just a few weeks, most people are burned out, injured, and feeling bad about themselves. As one woman explained to me, “I ran a mile, had shin splints for a week, and never went back.”

Beginner’s Flat Abs Workout
Abs are made in he kitchen, not the gym. If Pinterest worthy abs are your goal you’ll need to partner this workout with clean eating and regular cardio.

This ab workout will target the visceral fat in your midsection and strengthen all of your core muscles.
Healthy habits can be hard to create. Remember to start with small, easy to maintain changes and work your way up. Partnered with incremental changes to your diet you will be well on your way to a leaner, healthier you.
