I know, I know. Everyone wants to know what's the fastest way to get a six pack. Being a personal trainer for more than five years. The question I'm being asked the most is, "What's the fastest way to get a six pack?" Well, the "secret" is out. Listen carefully, kids. If you follow my plan, you will see improvements in your abdominal area in about 3 to 4 weeks, depending on your current body shape of course.
STEP 1-- Change your diet. Diet is the number one factor in deciding whether your abs show or if they are still hiding under layers of fat even though you're doing hundreds of sit-ups everyday. Try to eat 5 to 6 small meals per day. Your average meal should consist of some lean protein. Protein is an essential part to your diet that helps you to lose fat and build long, lean muscles. And it gives your power when you're doing your resistance training. Also eat plenty of "healthy fats" like olive oil and nuts. These oils keep you fuller for longer as well as helping your lose your abdominal fat. Avoid refined sugar and simple carbs, which have not much nutritional value except empty calories. Opt for whole grain everything-pasta, rice, bread.
STEP 2-- Do your cardio! Cardio workouts like swimming, running and basketball help to burn off calories as well as raise your overall metabolism. Many people might not know this, but raising your metabolism is what matters! That is how you lose your layer of fat sitting on top of your already shaped abs muscles. Do 45 mins of cardio 2 to 3 times a week.
STEP 3-- Abs workout. You don't need to do hundreds of repetitions for your abs exercise 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. Try to do your normal abs exercises on an exercise ball. The unstable surface makes your whole body work harder to maintain balance and in turn increase the resistance.
There you have it, the fastest way to get a six pack. If you want to see some pictures of my abs and how I did it, go to my website below.
