Abs                                                                          Calves






          The foundation of your body is your                                         Perform seated and standing calf raises

         Your core is forced when squatting,                                          triceps, your calves are also worked when
         deadlifting, etc. therefore it's constantly                                  training legs and cardio.
         being utilized and worked. So you don't

         need to do a heavy ab workout. I
         recommend training your abs 1-2

         times per week. The best exercises to do
         so are: hanging leg raises, toes to bar,

         weighted cable crunches, ab pikes, ab
         rollers, planks. Remember that your abs

         are made in the gym but revealed in the                                   Frequency
         kitchen. We all have abs, it's just about
         shedding away the extra layer of fat that                                 One of the other reasons why I don't

         hides them.                                                               recommend training more than five time a week,
                                                                                   is specifically for women. As women, are body's       37

                                                                                   reproduce. So when we start to train too much,
                                                                                   and get too lean, this may lead to hormonal

                                                                                   decreasing volume training and slightly
                                                                                   increasing your caloric intake. But you never

                                                                                   maintain balance within your body.
