Chateau Quinault, 2001, Saint Emilion, Bordeaux

Property of Mr Flabby Less
Chateau Quinault, 2001, Saint Emilion, Bordeaux

This vibrant red wine has a wonderful and appealing bouquet. Consist of a blend of 80% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10% Cabernet Franc, it mainly taste of dark berries and plum with integrated mineral and smokey oak. Nice and balanced structure. Well integrated tannins but slightly edgy at the moment. Medium-bodied and elegant, and has a long finish. A 92-pointer by Robert Parker, this fragrant wine is good to drink between 2007-2017. I thoroughly enjoyed this wine and kept going back for refills! :-P

Formula for flat abs


Many people want flat abs. Fitness trainers and dieticians hear this question more than anyone else.



Getting flat abs is more difficult than you think. The formula may appear simple and straightforward but application/implementation requires discipline, determination and perseverance.

Flat abs = nutrition + cardiovascular training + abdominal training


Nutrition
Good nutrition is essential for a good physique. Think of the garbage-in and garbage-out analogy. Make good food choices and you are on a way to a leaner body. Eating five to six small and "clean" meals a day is recommended as it keeps your metabolic rate high, which gives energy. 


Cardiovascular training
Cardio training helpful to expend calories and burn fat. For abdominal muscles to be visible, you must shed the fat on top. Cardio training such as running, walking, cycling or swimming helps burn a lot of calories.


Abdominal training
Abdominal muscles are same as any other muscle group and they respond the same way. You need to focus and slow down your abs training to isolate the muscles. No point spending hours and hours on abs as you are just wasting your time. Remember, it's the quality and not the quantity. 

To get flat abs, you need to work on it! Combine all three elements above and you'll definitely see results. All experts agree to the above formula.
