Get Six Pack Abs the Right Way

son ho young six-pack abs

Getting six pack abs is not at difficult but most of the people are mislead to think that working on machines is the only way to achieve the body of your dreams. Now I am not at all saying that working on machines doesn’t work at all.

But the idea that working on machines is the only way you can get a perfect body is totally a misconception.

If you really want to have six pack abs then you should know a very well known fact first and it is that everyone has six pack of abs. If you don’t see it then the reason is that it is hidden under the layer of fat. So the first thing that you should have in your mind is that you don’t have to work for six pack of abs but you already have them. What you have to work for is to loose the extra fat that is deposited on your body. Now this cannot happen overnight and so you must keep little patience.

Another thing required is to build a plan of action and no matter what just get stuck to it. Remember there is no need to go on weight loss pills or other fat burning supplements to get six pack abs quickly. Always remember the right way

is most of the times not the quickest of the ways. This will take time.

Some people spend lots of money on diet supplements while most spend a lot of time working in gym. The fact is however 90% of the weight loss supplements don’t work while on the other side there is actually no need to do heavy exercises for hours on the fitness machine.

The Right way to get six pack abs is to keep the right balance between Nutrition and Exercise.

Nutrition

Now all the health experts are quoting these days “Abs are made in the kitchen, not in the gym” and this is exactly what people need to realise. Now nutrition is not the only important factor but it is indeed a major factor in getting a good shape for your body. Some underlined tips given by the experts is as follows:

— Cut down on carbs, sodium, fast and fried food and of course alcohol

– Drink substances containing caffeine prior to exercise because caffeine increases your metabolism and enables you to burn more fat quicker and easier.

– Drink green tea because it increases fat burning and energy expenditure.

Working more towards these will increase your chances of having six pack of abs more quickly.

Exercise

Now when we are talking about exercise remember you should not overdo these exercise. Doing them regularly for 30 minutes a day would be just fine. Some of the most common can be

– conventional situps

– crunches

– lying bicycle

– Do cardio

For losing fat quickly on the abdomen, doing cardio is the most effective exercise.

Conclusion: Right Nutrition + Right Exercise = Right Way of Getting Six Pack Of Abs.

Diet for Six Pack Abs

Stefan Pinto Six Pack Abs

A lot of people are insecure with their body, especially on abs. Most of them get into diet. They sacrifice their food cravings and would rather eat one meal per day or take miracle diet programs that promise them with good results. Naturally, they want to get that perfect shape and body to feel good and healthy at the same time. However, not every miracle works for all.

To reach those perfect six pack abs, all you need is the right balanced diet. You don’t need to use that hard methods; instead, use those simple and plain procedures.

These simple steps will guide you on how to accomplish that six pack abs of yours through these diet procedures. However, before you use these techniques, make sure you inquire at your registered dietician for the best six pack diet abs for you individually. Like they say, better be safe than sorry.

Here are the ways to get those Six Pack Abs Diet guidelines:

1. Decrease you overall number of calories.

This won’t take much, but losing a number of 500 calories per day is a good way to downsize that flabby abs of yours. If you repeat this every day, you will lose 1lb each week. How good is that, right? You will see the results once you start to lose those excess calories. Make sure that you eat healthy and do lots of exercise to carry that healthy look – or else your efforts will go down the drain.

2. Eat 4-6 small meals per day.

Normally, a person would eat three meals a day, but those three meals are big sized portions. However, breaking down your meal from four to six meals is a good way to get that abs in perfect shape. This diet is a great way to regulate your blood sugar. The more insulin your body has, the higher your blood sugar will be. This is not good, considering that you’ll be gaining more fat out of this.

To get rid of the fat, maintain the 4-6 daily small meals as part of your six pack abs diet program. Also, you won’t feel hungry throughout the day.

3. Do not eat 2/3 of your calories in the evening.

Never forget this one important diet procedure. There are times when people who are tired and hungry eat huge meals during dinner and eating more won’t do you good. Having large portion meals at will create a big spike in blood sugar, which in turn, will turn into fat. A big no-no if you want to get that perfect abs figure. To prevent this kind from happening, follow procedure number two always.

4. Eat good quality protein, good carbs, and healthy fats.

While having small meals, never forget the basics of healthy food: protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats. It’s important to keep a healthy figure, as well as good abs. For protein, you may opt to eat chicken breast, chicken, turkey, fish, etc. Meanwhile, choose the best carbohydrate foods that go with whole grain and other things such as oatmeal and brown sugar. They make a good supplement to your diet; which allows your body to wok your body and energy for digestion. As for healthy fats, you may eat fish, since Omega 3′s are found in them.

Following these procedures will take you more than just eating the right kind of food. It takes lots of sacrifice and hard work to pursue this six pack abs diet. Once you achieved that honed abs and slim sexy waistline, you’ll be soon treated like royalty from the opposite sex!

How To Develop Six Pack Abs In Less Than 2 Months

Best-Abs-Diet arms stretched up back view

Many men and women want to develop six pack abs… but they just don’t know how long it is going to take. And for most, it is easier to go use a nutrition and diet plan if they only have to dedicate themselves for a few months. After all, no one wants to spend a full year to see the six pack reward for their hard work.

But first we must see if exposing visible abs in that short a time period is even possible.

Here Is The Good News If You Want A Washboard Stomach

The good news is you really don’t have to build your abs with tons of ab directed exercises. So, say goodbye to hundreds of crunches and other ab “isolating” exercises. The fact is, you probably already have the start of a six pack under the abdominal fat.

It is really about exposing your cut abs with a correct nutrition and exercise plan.

Let See If You Are In Striking Distance To Expose Your Abs

A good fat loss workout and diet plan can eliminate around 2 pounds of fat a week safely. (It is actually possible to lose more than 2 pounds of fat with the right program). So a little math is in order. If you only need to lose 16 pounds of fat to expose your hidden abs… then it is possible to get a six pack in as little as 2 months.

Now if you are not in this category, don’t worry. All it means is you’ll either have to use a program that burns more than 2 pounds of fat a week, or it will just take you a little longer.

What To Look For In An Ab Exposing Workout

Since we don’t need to worry too much about “building” your abdominal muscles, we can concentrate on losing the fat covering them. So, what you need is a good fat loss workout.

Here are some things to look for to make sure you get results:

Look for full body workouts that use compound exercises. This is a more demanding workout than doing “isolation” exercises. And the more demanding the workout, the more calories you burn both during and after the workout.

The cardio portion of your workout should be as intense as possible. Don’t use long, slow aerobic exercise if you have the fitness to work harder. Again, the harder you work, the more fat burning goes on both during and after the workout.

Lastly, combine your fat burning workout with the right nutrition. While you may need to reduce your calorie intake some, don’t reduce it to the point that it hinders your nutritional needs to complete the workouts.

If you want to develop six pack abs and are in striking distance, you can get them in as little as 2 months. As a matter of fact, with the right workout and nutrition program, you can lose much more than 2 pounds a week, and reach your goals sooner.

Why You Struggle to Get Flat Six Pack Abs

get six pack abs

An interview that will reveal some of the key secrets to losing stomach fat and getting six pack abs much faster…

CB: Mike, you have a site, The Truth About Six Pack Abs. So… what the heck is the truth?

MG: Well, from what I see on a daily basis, one of the most common fitness goals people have is to get a flatter stomach and if possible, achieve some sort of a “six pack abs” appearance to their stomach. Unfortunately, most people struggle for years without ever achieving this goal. Instead, I see so many people waste so much of their time on worthless abdominal exercises, and falling for every gimmick product that comes onto their TV screen promising them a 6-pack in only 2 minutes a day while sitting on their couch.

To be honest, seeing so many people over the years waste their hard earned money on all of these worthless ab gadgets, machines, ab belts, and bogus fat loss pills was really getting under my skin.

That’s why I developed my Truth about Six Pack Abs Program. Over the last couple years, this program I developed has gained popularity worldwide, and has now recently become the most popular abs program on the internet with tens of thousands of people in over 100 countries using my system.

So what’s the truth? The truth is that people are looking in the wrong direction to achieve this goal… abdominal exercises are NOT the answer to six pack abs! Sounds counterintuitive I know. In fact, ab-specific exercises are the LEAST important training aspect in getting a six pack.

Most people think there must be some magical “underground” abs exercise that is going to finally get them their six-pack after years of struggling.

The fact is, the real solution to seeing a visible six-pack is bringing your body fat percentage down to a low enough level to where the abs become visible. Most people already have them hiding under there and don’t know it. This is generally about 10% body fat or lower for men, and about 16-18% for women from my experience.

Heck, even my 7-year old nephew has a six pack… do you think he got that by doing “abs exercises”? No way! He has a six pack because his body fat percentage is extremely low since he’s so active running around playing all day at his age.

So the most important aspect to getting visible abs is actually a properly designed full body training program, combined with good nutrition that can be maintained for life (instead of a short-term gimmick diet).

CB: For a beginner, how much focus needs to be on abs? What other exercises would you give them for fat loss?

MG: For beginners, I generally start them off with the most basic bodyweight exercises such as bw squats, bw lunges, bw step-ups, pushups, inverted body rows, along with basic dumbbell exercises like overhead presses, rows, etc. We also work on body stabilizing exercises like planks and side planks and a few stability ball exercises to make sure they’ve learned to properly engage their entire “core” area in stablizing the body.

CB: What type of cardio/interval training do you use for fat loss?

MG: The programs I design are almost entirely based on high intensity resistance training instead of cardio. In fact, my resistance training workouts get people sweating and huffing and puffing much more than any boring cardio workout ever will.

The bottom line based on research as well as my personal experience… cardio is NOT necessary for fat loss! In fact, some of the leanest people I know NEVER do traditional cardio. Personally, I haven’t stepped foot on a treadmill, elliptical machine, or stationary bike in about 8 years and I maintain single digit body fat year round.

Now don’t get me wrong about the cardio thing… in reality, I actually work on exercises that are much tougher and more intense than traditional cardio… I prefer wind sprints, hill sprints, swimming sprints, speed rope jumping, etc to complement my resistance training… all of which are more anaerobic in nature than aerobic.

This type of training stimulates a vastly higher metabolic response in the body than steady pace cardio.

Of course, most people can’t just jump right into doing wind sprints without injury until they’ve gotten themselves into pretty good shape first. I use various resistance training methods and interval training for most people before they are ever ready to even attempt any type of sprinting.

CB: Tell us about your favorite bodyweight exercises and how you use them in a fat loss program.

MG: I like to combine bodyweight exercises and free weight exercises into what I call “tri-sets” or “quad-sets” (aka – mini circuits). Basically, I pick 3 or 4 exercises that don’t work the same body movements (non-competing) and combine them into high intensity mini-circuits for my clients.

A great example would be:

1. mountain climbers for 20-30 seconds
2. dumbbell squat & presses (combination squat then press overhead)
3. stability ball leg curl-ins
4. stability ball plank holds (a little harder than a floor plank)

This type of circuit can be done without much rest at all between exercises and we would repeat the circuit several times before moving to a new circuit. This creates a high intensity fat burning workout that works almost every muscle in the entire body.

The 2nd part of the abdominals interview will come shortly and we’ll cover the most important aspect… nutrition for fat loss!
