The idea behind the 22 days challenge is that your brain needs at least 22 days for building or adapting any activity to make it as your daily habit and we want that you will continue this routine even after 22 days of workout challenge.
The second reason is that you need this much time to see an outline of abs. For this you have to do your daily routine with full dedication and also have to follow a good diet. Following a good diet as much as important to do your daily workout. Bad diet can cover your abs muscles with fat. This could be disappointing for you and can ruin your hard work.
Let's start our 22 days abs workout challenge.
