First off I want to mention that, for most people, getting six pack
abs is not an easy task. It requires serious dedication, but it is
possible! Below is a general 2-step guide that, if followed
religiously for 3 months, will produce results.
If were blessed with naturally low body fat and good muscle definition,
enjoy it! Otherwise, below is a general 2-step guide that, if followed
religiously for 3 months, will produce results.
Step 1: Nutrition
This is the single most important part of the puzzle, hands down. You
can have the most impressive set of abs, but if they're covered with a
layer of fat, you won't see them! Break up your day with 5 or 6 mini-meals
because this jump starts your metabolism. And stop eating the food that is
preventing results: white bread, loads of pasta, soda, candy, fast food,
hydrogenated oils, sugars and fructose corn syrup.
Instead, replace them with foods that will help you reach your goal:
oatmeal, olive oil, whole grain breads, fruits, vegetables, nuts, peanut
butter, chicken, fish, protein and water. Be realistic- you'll slip here
and there, but make a conscious effort to radically improve your eating
habits because getting a six pack will be impossible if you don't.
Step 2: Exercise
You need to concern yourself with 3 different exercises: cardio,
weightlifting and ab exercises. And aim to workout no less than 4 times a
week.
The cardio you do can be anything: walking, running, biking,
swimming....whichever cardio you don't mind doing so that you'll stick
with it. Aim for 30-45 minutes, a minimum of 2 times a week.
Weightlifting is important because 3 pounds of added muscle burns as
many calories as a 1 mile jog...and this is while you're just sitting
around! Aim for 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 out the
following website. It features professional bodybuilders, but the
information is great and can be used by anyone.http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/exercises.htm.
The last exercise you need to incorporate into your workout is ab
exercises. Aim to work your abs a minimum of 3 times a week. There are a
ton of different ab exercises you can do so try to find 3 or so that you
enjoy doing so you can mix it up. A good database of different ab
exercises is:http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/exername.php?MainMuscle=Abdominals
Well, there you have it. Follow the above for 3 months religiously, and
while results will vary from person to person, you will experience
improvement. It will take serious dedication on your part, but imagine the
feeling you'll get when you look in the mirror and like what you see.
