[H1124]How To Get A Six Pack Abs
by Gordon Holmes, Gor

Ahhh... the abs. The ultimate display of physical fitness. Everyone and their mama wants to know how to get a six pack abs. Getting a six pack is not an easy task. It is because you need to lower your body fat to around or under 10 percents in order for your abdominal muscles to show. Even if you are naturally born skinny but you never work your ab, your abs will simply look, well, skinny! With no definition whatsoever.

Okay so now that we got those little facts out of the way. Here's how to get a six pack abs in the fastest time:

1 - You have to eat clean, very clean. Diet is the number one factor in deciding whether your abs show. Do all the crunches if you want, but if you are eating nothing but junk all day, your abs will never show. Plan your meals ahead, and eat several small meals each day. Your average meal should consist of some lean proteins, leafy veggies and whole grain carbohydrates. Avoid refined sugar and simple carbohydrates which have not much nutritional value except empty calories.

2-- Starting doing your cardio exercise! Most bodybuilders only focus on muscle training and neglect all kinds of cardio workouts. Cardio workouts like swimming, running and basketball help to burn off calories as well as raise your overall metabolism. If you want to start burning your layers of abdominal fats, go running now! If all you do is muscle training and no cardio, it is very possible that you are actually increasing your waist area! Opt for 45 mins of cardio 2 to 3 times a week.

3-- Last but not least, do your crunches-but no need to do hundreds of reps! If trained correctly, you only need to work on your abs 3 to 4 times a week to be effective. On the contrary, if you are doing more than 30 of each set of reps, chances are these exercises might be too easy for you. Work your lower abs as well as obliques to lose that pouch and love handles.

There you have it. A simple but super-effective plan on how to get a six pack abs. Follow this rules and you WILL see improvements in your abdominal areas in about a month. I promise.


When I said it is not easy because there is no short cut to get a flat belly with 6 pack abs. Only those late night informercials can give you fake promises that certain gizmos can help you get a flat belly. If you want an easy way out, then part your money to those advertisers forever and then get ready to be disappointed.

No, even if you perform a trillion sit ups and leg raisers day in and day out is not gonna get you the coveted six pack abs. To get a flat belly you want, you will need to put in some work and get educated with some science.

Here some helpful pointers to help you achieve your flat belly objective and if you stick on to it, you will find that not only will your belly get flatter week after week, you will also reduce excess body fat from all parts of your body and soon, your 6 pack abs will be revealed.

Correct eating habit and nutrition is the most important factor in getting a flat stomach. Therefore you will need to control your blood sugar levels to lose body fat. One way to do that is to consume five to six meals small meals a day. Please note, I said small meals, such as dividing the portion of your three daily meals into 5-6 smaller meals.

Next, reduce your carbohydrate consumption to about 50 percent or less from your meals. Most people eat way too much carbs anyway and before their body can burn the carbs for energy, the carbs would have been converted to glycogen and the further excess carbs into body fat.

Consume your small meals at 2 to 3 hours intervals. This is because when your stomach is empty, your body will tend to conserve fat for energy and by eating frequently. You won't want that to happen right? Furthermore, you will be controlling your blood sugar level to encourage fat loss and you will start to lose weight gradually.

However, if you are still not losing weight, then you are consuming too many calories. In this case, make your meals even smaller by reducing more carbs.

By the first week, you will probably lose between 4 to 5 pounds (about 2kg) of water weight and some body fat. By continuing to eat like this, you should be losing about 1 to 2 pounds per week. If you are losing weight more than that, then you are probably losing muscle weight too. In this case, then increase your carbs consumption a little until you achieve a gradual weight loss of 1 to 2 pounds a week.

However, if you are not losing 1 to 2 pounds per week, then reduce another 100 calories from your meals. Remember to abstain from sugar laden drinks such as soda and soft drinks as these drinks are chock full of calories. Alcohol consumption is a big fat No No!

Now, when you are losing weight, your belly will get flatter and flatter but you will still need to incorporate exercises into your weight loss routine to burn more calories as well as getting your muscles toned and getting the 6 pack abs. Furthermore, for every pound of muscle you that you gain on your body, you will burn 30-50 extra calories a day. You will then become a natural calorie burner.

Is this get flat belly program easy? Nope, it is not and that is why so few people have flat bellies and tight six pack abs. However, it is definitely achievable if your motivation to have a flat belly is strong enough.
