UNDERSTAND REALITY:
RELAXED - FLEXED - PHOTOSHOP
Same abs, same person, same time, very different impressions. Realistic goals mean understanding reality!!
Be careful what you believe and what you buy into. I have a low body fat percentage in the 10% range and at rest my abs are not very pronounced. If I flex and hold it appears like I’m leaner and way more defined. Throw some filters and Photoshop on that same flexing photo and all that’s missing is an advertisement and a promise to burn fat and get ripped quick. Professional advertisers are pros for a reason. They make sure you see what they want you to see and they know what will make you believe in there product. Unless you are in competitive shape and insanely lean you won’t be walking around with chiseled abs always showing. A photo is a moment in time and that moment can be manipulated thus manipulating your understanding and expectations you set for yourself. Understand that you can get the body of your dreams but also know what reality looks like! For so long I felt like I was failing because I failed to understand the reality of the fitness industry…don’t make the same mistake! :)
