3 Secrets To Get Abs…While You Sleep

absI

If you want to wake up more fit than you did when you went to bed, here are three tips to get your body and abs, moving while you’re getting some z’s.

Tip #1 – Make sleeping 7-8 hours a night a priority

You may think that the first tip would be a certain exercise or food, but no, sleep is a major player when it comes to your abs.

Tip #3 – Don’t drink fluids 45 minutes before bed

You should also avoid drinking even non-alcoholic fluids 45 minutes before bed. This is because if you drink too much before bed, you may have to get up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night.
