Ab Myths. Sidney Wilson

Myth #1. “I don’t have good abs.”

People tell me this all the time, but it’s false. Everyone has good abs, you just can’t see them. A good abdominal program builds abdominal muscle and shreds body fat to bring them out of hiding. And don’t forget the simple arithmetic of burning body fat: if you eat 2,000 calories and burn 2,000 calories you’re breaking even.

Myth #2, “To get good abs, I have to work my abs.”

Of course you do, but you need to see a broader picture. You get the best results by going after your entire middle core by working your entire abdominal region, made up of three frontal components: upper, middle and lower and a fourth: your obliques, which reside on the right and left sides of your body’s core.

Myth #3, “I need to work my abs everyday.”

Sure you do, but it doesn’t mean working the same abdominals muscles over and over. Like every body part, your abdominal region is comprised of multiple muscles and you need to “change it up; switch it up.” Do lower abs one day, then middle, then upper, then obliques. Then start over with different types of exercises. Tighten that abdominal core when you train with weights, especially during shoulder and bench presses, bicep curls, triceps, everything. Make every exercise an opportunity to isometrically work your abdominal region.

Good exercises that use this holistic approach:

For upper abs, anything that engages your abs in upper body movements, like crunches. For middle, do full sit-ups. Lower? Any type of leg movement, for example, leg lifts on the floor or in a Roman chair. To hit your obliques, hang on a bar and twist your body from side to side.

So don’t think abs, think ABDOMINAL REGION. Think middle, lower, upper, sides.

Easy day; Sidney Wilson

Sidney Wilson, personal trainer , fitness model and actor

“To be the best, you must exceed the rest,” says personal trainer and fitness model Sidney Wilson. But, what is the best? “It’s a personal question – and it doesn’t always mean you have to be the strongest guy in the world, or the best athlete that ever lived, but it does mean setting stretch goals,” he says. ”People tend to over think training and fitness.” adds Sidney. “ I help you see it, believe it and achieve it. To make everyday an easy day.”

Sidney’s “easy day” philosophy set off a buzz amongst his community of personal training clients, who describe his training as tough, tougher and toughest. As Sidney puts it “my training is never really easy, but if you’ve done the work, you get in the right mindset, you stick to the regimen, and you do your homework assignments, you reach a state of mind where you experience a level of performance you never thought possible.”

“It’s tough, it sucks, you hate it, and you love it. Because you realize you’ve done the work. You’ve trained, you’re prepared. You know it’s going to be an easy day.”

Sidney has hundreds of “easy day” stories. He recalls a client that ran her first marathon. At the 12th mile she panicked, she didn’t think she could do it. But she recalled her training, her coaching, her knowledge. “I know how to do this,” she said aloud. “26 miles? Easy day.” Or the cyclist that’s pedaling as hard as he can, but is barely moving because of the high headwinds that just kicked in. He gets concerned, even a little scared. “But hey,” he thinks to himself. “I’ve trained for this. I know what to do. Easy day.”

As Sidney will tell you, “It’s a mind game. Don’t over think it. When you lean on the knowledge you’ve gleaned from my training, you channel your anxiety to make everyday an easy day. You surprise yourself. When you achieve new performance levels, together, we’ll set new stretch goals.” He’s not kidding about together, since he’s often seen training right along side his clients, chanting “easy day.” One client says,” Sidney’s awesome. He’s a freak. I love him.” Another client says, “I want to clobber him when he ends my session with ‘easy day’ but instead I ask: ‘What time tomorrow?’ ”

When Sidney’s not training or modeling, he can be seen ripping up the dance floor from the East Village to the Meat Packing district in New York City. He has appeared on Law & Order, CSI and MTV – as well as ads for GUESS and RocaWear. His interests include hip hop, mixed martial arts, hanging with friends and shooting pool, rock climbing, playing basketball, football, and boxing.
