Get Six Pack Abs
Many people, both men and women, long for the day when their body was toned and
they could proudly show off their midsections and slim, visible abs. Frequently
they will start an exercise program with the goal of losing their belly and
getting back their flat, sexy abs
they once had when they were young.
It’s a worthwhile goal and it CAN BE DONE! You have to forget about the hype and
the hype you see all over the web, in magazines, on those slick infomercials and
from the mouths of misinformed “experts”. There are three main points to keep in
mind if you want to start a successful exercise program to get your nice sexy
abs back.
First off, you must get a handle on your diet. It’s a given that you will
never lose your belly if keep eating the Standard American Diet (S.A.D.) of fast
food burgers, fries and a soda. Nutrient deficient, we are malnourished
for genuine sustenance and instead stuff our bodies with processed, junk food and fast food. A good rule of thumb is if it comes out of a bag or box then forget about it.
You have to begin getting more fresh, nutritionally sound foods in your diet and staying away from
nutritionally empty, chemically laden junk. It also a bad idea to fall
for the current fad diet of the month, be it low fat, low carb or low anything.
Your body needs the macronutrients from all these food groups. The body needs
healthy fats, for example, from good sources like avocadoes, eggs, coconuts,
nuts and fish. What it doesn’t need are the fats from refined, hydrogenated oils
or foods fried in hydrogenated oils.
Secondly, if you want six pack abs, then
you have to stop focusing on training your abs! They may seem contradictory
until you understand a key point about starting an effective exercises program:
You must start an exercise or training program that triggers a metabolic response that burns fat! Sit ups and crunches simply don’t mobilize the body enough to do this.
The first main problem to overcome is to lower your body fat
percentage. One of the main reasons you don’t have a six pack is because they
aren’t visible-they are covered up by layers of fat!
So instead of doing specific “abs exercises” like crunches or situps you need to
use the legs, back, torso and other large muscle groups. Examples of
better exercises are squats, deadlifts, step ups, wind sprints, kettlebells, and
step-ups. These work much better for fat burning.
Thirdly, understand that intense, variable resistance training does more to burn
fat in your body than monotonous, steady state type of cardio like long distance
running. Resistance workouts build more muscle mass and the muscle mass you have
the easier it is to keep fat off for good.
