He praises the transparency and accountability it brings, critiques past umpiring errors, and contends AI could eventually reduce or replace human calls if the human element doesn’t improve, while acknowledging ongoing debates about the loss of tradition and potential crowd reactions in October.

"Experts: Getting Abs Takes Longer Than 30 Days"

Getting visible abs takes time and dedication, involving a combination of healthy eating and stomach-strengthening exercises. It's not possible to achieve visible abs in just 30 days, as excess body fat must be reduced first. Men typically need a body fat percentage below 10-15% and women below 15-20% for abs to be visible. Depending on factors like body weight, genetics, and lifestyle, it may take 3 to 6 months or longer to start seeing noticeable changes in abdominal definition. Other lifestyle factors such as stress, sleep quality, and genetics also play a role in obtaining visible abs.
