So if we talk about abs in the kitchen, if we're eating the same kind of grandparent diet, then we're going to have the same outcomes, right? But if we have the extra 20 bit of life where we're having chocolate and whiskey and all those fun things, man could take it out and get super ripped. Woman takes it out, there's no change. Why? Because the hypothalamus is like, where are those calories?

I need those calories. So if we want to eat a little bit cleaner, we have to make sure that we're actually providing enough calories.

So if we're providing enough calories and our body's like, yep, sweet, we got enough for all the things that we need to do in a day, overcome the stress, and we have enough to fuel the training and the changes we want with the exercise we're doing, you're going to get those abs. Wow.

And then the compound movements, like working abs in a functional way, not doing sit-ups, but doing deadlifts or squats where you have to use your abs as a support mechanism, builds them faster than you see guys on the... floor doing lots of sit-ups or Russian twist, yeah, they're going to get those strong abs.

But for women, it's better to do this compound for that torsion to be able to use it as support because then it allows us to stand upright and have better posture because our center of gravity is down in our hips, men's center of gravity is up in their chest. So if we're working to control our posture and develop the strength through our core and we're standing up taller, our abs show.

If we're looking from an age standpoint. Okay. Okay. Let's start with our 20s. In our 20s, you can get away with a lot. What does that mean? So that means that you could do bare minimum a couple of days a week of mixed aerobic and strength training. So you don't have to do that much. Okay. So it could be a total body circuit set twice a week.

That means like going to the gym and doing the machines? You could do that, or you could do an at-home circuit where you can do, what I say, every minute on the minute. So you warm up with stretches and mobility for five or so minutes, and then you have five minutes where one minute is jumping lunges. The next minute might be some push-ups.
