“People achieve better results when they do core exercises at the beginning of their workout instead of the end,” says Alwyn Cosgrove, C.S.C.S., coauthor of The New Rules of Lifting for Abs. Your core—the dozens of muscles between your shoulders and your hips—contracts first in every exercise, he explains.
If you eat too much and exercise too little, you're likely to carry excess weight — including belly fat. Also, your muscle mass might diminish...

Read More »If you want to take your workouts to a whole new level, start with your middle. “People achieve better results when they do core exercises at the beginning of their workout instead of the end,” says Alwyn Cosgrove, C.S.C.S., coauthor of The New Rules of Lifting for Abs. Your core—the dozens of muscles between your shoulders and your hips—contracts first in every exercise, he explains. All the energy you exert starts in your midsection, and is then transferred to your limbs. A strong core allows you to apply more force to a barbell, whereas a weak core decreases the amount you can apply. But in order to prime your core muscles so they fire better during your workout, you need to train your core right after your warmup, he says. Related: THE 21-DAY METASHRED—an All-New Body-Shredding Fitness and Diet Program From Men’s Health By training your torso when your muscles are fresh, you achieve the fastest gains, says Cosgrove’s New Rules coauthor Lou Schuler, C.S.C.S. You can do the moves with more intensity and better attention to form, and get more out of them than if you waited until later to perform them. In fact, a 2012 review in the journal Sports Medicine found that people perform more reps of an exercise with heavier weights when they perform it at the beginning of their session than when they do it at the end. The reason: You have more energy and focus earlier in your workout, says Schuler. On the flip side, research shows that whatever you do last, improves the least.

We've all experienced it: You wake up, look down and think, "Wow, my abs look amazing!" And strangely enough, sometimes they look their best even when the rest of you is feeling its worst-like after a night out. In fact, this phenomenon is so widely experienced that it has its own term and Instagram hashtag: Morning abs. As you may have guessed, "morning abs" are primarily due to dehydration (hence the whole hangover abs thing, too), explains Joel Martin, Ph.D., C.S.C.S., assistant professor of kinesiology at George Mason University. "You can lose up to several pounds of water weight overnight due to sweating and respiration," he says. (If you're really curious, a good experiment is to weigh yourself at night and again in the morning to see exactly how much.) The result? More defined muscles, he says. And in this case, those "morning abs." Not to mention, there's the whole fact that you've essentially been fasting for seven to ten hours while you sleep, says Marni Sumbal, R.D., an exercise physiologist and board-certified sports dietitian. "Unless you ate a high fat/sodium meal late at night, you'll probably wake up and notice less water retention-and thus less bloat," she explains. Now the bad news: It's physically impossible for your stomach to keep looking the way it does when you first wake up. "You may look more toned in the morning, but as your body processes food, it retains water, and you develop gas/stool-which means a bigger/distended stomach and an overall heavier body," Sumbal explains. So there you have it: Scientific proof that morning abs are a real thing-and sadly the only way to keep those defined abs all day long is to tone them the good old-fashioned way.
