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.
