As I tackle the belly must go challenge I set for myself I’ve been getting exposed to a bunch of lies and misleading information. Sponsored ads in the form of ‘shortcut to a 6 pack’ or ‘5 minute abs’ plaster my social media feeds constantly. Listen, if you see ANYONE with amazing abs, arms, chest and virtually any other admirable/developed body part, they didn’t get it on 5 minutes of training a day😐. Other ads even feature some unscrupulous characters that go as far as recommending a whole cocktail of dubious belly fat burners in addition to bogus training advice 👉🏾Swallow the pills today after 5 minutes of push ups and wake up a Spartan warrior tomorrow! These people that peddle this nonsense are professional conmen. Don’t believe the marketing and don’t get caught up in the hype.
Unless you prefer to chase your tail all day, I strongly encourage you to stick to the basic fundamentals of optimized training, nutrition & lifestyle outlined below:
5 minute abs? 😂hmmm. There's no such thing. Be ready to work and stay patient. With consistency the results will come. You can't jump the fence with these things, palibe ma shortcut.

Consistency is key, though its been hard. On the other hand I think you can gain weight in 5 minutes😄. It surely feels that way😀

🤣 it doesn't seem to be a fair process huh? Depending on your genetics others have it differently. They'll lose weight in 5 minutes! If you're conscious of the cards you've been dealt you can always first accept your situation and then adapt. Maybe the biscuits, bread and juice lifestyle shouldn't be your daily portion! LOL! Personally, I can gain weight just looking at food!
