Jodie Williams Abs Workout And Diet


British sprinter Jodie William's workout and diet is not different from what everyone else's should be. Although the gold winning track athlete's workout routine is a crucial part of her career, the same concept for having a well-shaped body applies to everyone.

Jodie Williams Abs Workout Routine

If you want lean and toned abs then you have to work on getting a lean and toned body. The process of getting abs is to lose stomach fat so that the abs will become more visible. And since you cannot just lose fat from the stomach alone, you must work on making your entire body lean which will also reflect on your stomach.


Jodie Williams made this fact clear when she said "A lot of people think you can get abs just through sit ups, but it's more about diet. Everyone has abs, so once you get down to a lower level of body fat they will start to show. To make them look better you can then do sit ups She said."


So yes, if you want get six pack abs like Jodie Williams you have to burn off excess body fat to make the abs visible with diet and cardio training. And then you will do different exercises that strengthens the ab muscles so that they can look more toned.

Jodie Williams Abs Diet

When responding to people who wanted to know to get her abs, Jodie Williams made it known that diet is the most important component. Dropping belly fat is 80% diet. You have to reduce calories to create a deficit and have a proper balance of protein, carb and fat in your diet to get optimum fat loss results.


It's very important to follow the right diet and exercise methods that will make sure that you don't lose your muscle dieting to lose weight. Remember, the abs themselves are muscles and muscle is what will make your body look fit and toned. If you follow the wrong diet plan for fat loss that cause you to lose your muscle you'll likely end up looking thin, instead getting a nice sculpted shape like an athlete.

This can make the area look more defined due to the increase in muscle visibility. But you'll still need to diet and perform aerobic exercises for losing fat overall to see the fat disappear in the area.
