[H1124]How To Get A Six Pack In A Week

by Gordon Holmes, Gor

Sorry to disappoint you, but there is simply no way to achieve that goal. If someone or some product claims they have the "secret" to how to get a six pack in a week, you should run and not walk from their advice!

Don't be hopeless yet, follow the following rules and you should be able to see improvements in your abdominals in a month. Most people can get to the goal of having a nice, firm six abs in 3 months. Ready? Here we go...

STEP 1 - Diet

Eat plenty of leafy greens, whole grain breads and pastas, lean protiens (important!) and healthy fats like olive oil and nuts. Avoid simple carbohydrates, bad fats, sweets and alcohols. Try to eat 5 to 6 small meals throughout the day. This help you keep you metabolism up so you can burn more calories.

STEP 2-- Cardio cardio and more cardio!

Most people who want to know how to get a six pack in a week only focus on their abdominals muscle training, totally neglecting the cardio parts of the workout. What it does is that a lot of the time they overwork the abs muscle underneath. Combined with the layers of fat sitting on top of a set of largely built abdominal muscles, it is not a good look.

So starting running! Or swimming, rowing I don't care. Just do some fricking cardio exercise! Aim to do at least 2 to 3 times of intensive cardio per week and you should be good to go.

STEP 3-- Last but not least, you need to learn the correct way to train your abs. You can't just do endless sets of sit-ups alone. This won't give you a six pack look. You will only end up looking like the guy who tries to suck in his gut on the beach.

In order to avoid that unpleasant look, you need to work your love handles (your obliques) as well as your pooch (lower abs) 2 to 3 sets a session. 3 to 4 times a week. You don't even need to work them everyday. Alternate your cardio and weight-training days if you can. Let your abs rest in between. Also make sure you get lots of sleep.

So there you have it to the question "how to get a six pack in a week". Follow this plan thoroughly for a month and you WILL start seeing your abs show! I promise!

How much money have you spent on nutritional supplements that claim to add ten pounds of muscle seemingly overnight? If you are a fitness nut like me, I have wasted about $400 - $500 a month buying all this junk, striving to achieve the magnificent body of a cover model and NOT gain the promised results of the compelling advertisement.

I used to think I could get a quick fix, an instant six pack, and bulging biceps by doing a lot less lifting and lot less dieting. Unfortunately for me and you, we fail to recognize that it is the basics that yield the most results in your quest to build that sexy body. The two most important basics are diet and exercise.

It was not until about a year ago that I discovered I was falsely led to believe that pills contributed to 90% of what my body will look like. Once I got my senses knocked into me, I quit swallowing those pills and potions and my body got even better.

You see, the fastest way to build your sexy body is to eat right and exercise right! It has been said that you are what you eat and that diet alone contributes 75 percent up to 99% to how your body will look. Whatever the actual percentage is, a healthy diet is still where the majority of your results will com from.

You can exercise and still eat like a fat pig, and get mediocre results. Or you can start exercise combined with diet and you will get you more lustful stares walking down the streets because of your spectacular results!

So, you want to lose that excess fat around your butt, thighs, and belly huh? The best way to do this is to do the things that will get you there the fastest and healthiest way possible.

And if 75 percent of your results will come from diet, you would have to agree that it is only logical to spend 75 percent of your efforts on the foods you put into your mouth! Now do not ignore exercise completely, I am sorry to say but you still HAVE TO DO IT! To build a sexy body, you will still have to constantly challenge your body with weights and cardiovascular exercise. That goes for both males and females.

Get the basics of consistent diet and exercise down first and once you see the results, you would not want to touch one of those wonder pills again. So if you are still tempted to buy one of those body transforming supplements made by smart marketers, it is best if you saved your money because you will be sorely disappointed at the results.
