2 Steps to Six Pack Abs

by admin on March 14, 2010

I want to tell you that, for most people, getting six pack abs is not an easy job. You have to put a lot of It requires tenacity and dedication, but it is not impossible! Below is a general 2-step guide that, if followed strictly for 3 months, will lead to results.

Step 1: Nutrition

If you think you can skip this part you better drop off the whole mission. This is the single most important part, hands down. You can have the most unbelievable station of abs, but if there is a layer of fat covering them, you won’t see them! All you need to do is – 5 or 6 mini-meals instead of the one or two that you ate before – this will really start your metabolism. Besides – stop eating the food that is slowing it down – white bread, loads of pasta, soda, candy, fast food, hydrogenated oils, sugars and fructose corn syrup

All these could be replaced with foods that will relieve you reach your goal: oatmeal, olive oil, whole grain breads, fruits, vegetables, nuts, eggs, natural peanut butter, chicken, fish, protein and water. Lets be honest – I know you’ll slip here and there, but make a conscious grief to radically improve your eating habits because getting a six pack will be impossible if you don’t.

Step 2: Exercise

You have to get familiar with 3 different exercises: cardio, weightlifting and ab exercises. And aim to workout 3- 4 times a week. If you can do it every day it would be best, but lets not be absolute.

You could do whichever cardio you can – could be anything: walking, running, biking, swimming….whichever cardio you don’t mind. The most primary here is to stick with it. Aim for 30-45 minutes, a minimum of 2 times a week.

3 pounds of added muscle burns as many calories as a 1 mile lunge…and this is while you’re honest sitting around! This is why weightlifting is important. Again like the cardio 30-45 minutes, a minimum of 2 times a week. If you’re confused as to what exercises to do for each body part, check out the following website. It is for professional bodybuilders, but the information is great and can be veteran by anyone.

The last exercise you need to put in your workout is ab exercises. Aim to work your abs a minimum of 3 times a week. There are tones of different ab exercises you can do so try to find at least 3 or so that you enjoy doing so you can mix it up. A good database of different ab exercises is:

Tip: Change your workout routine every 2 weeks to keep your body guessing and changing. Add or take away different weight or ab exercises, or at the very least, vary the weight, reps or form of cardio you do. This will boost the result and keep the chalange

Well, that was it. Follow the above for 3 months religiously, and while results will vary from person to person, you will definitely experience improvement.

It will take efforts and dedication on your part, but imagine the feeling you’ll get when you look in the mirror and like what you stare.
