If you really push yourself and work out four or five times a week but you eat an unhealthy, high-calorie diet, you\u2019ll never see your washboard abs.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Did you know\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2026men can see their six-pack abs with about 12% body fat?

Your body won\u2019t change from one day to the next. <\/span>The two key factors in reducing your body fat (and revealing your <\/strong>washboard<\/strong> abs) are variety in your workouts and a healthy diet.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Focus on interval training and full-body workouts to boost fat burning <\/span>and combine this with <\/span>core training<\/span>. The advantages of this include better posture, reduced risk of injury, and better (running) performance<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n If you really want to be successful, you should work out <\/span>regularly<\/span><\/em> \u2014 that means at least three times a week. Add variety to your workouts, so you always challenge your body in different ways. The training plan in the<\/span> adidas Training app<\/span> will get you on the right path with a six-week plan for a washboard stomach.<\/span><\/p>\n You have to burn more energy than you consume to cut down on body fat. <\/strong>If you achieve a calorie deficit, you will lose weight. However, there are limits \u2014 make sure you are getting enough calories. An energy deficit between 300 and 500 calories is a safe guideline for healthy weight loss.
