Are muscular abs your goal, or would you prefer to settle for firm flat abs instead? I know that personally speaking I started out with the goal of getting muscular abs, but as time passed by and I went through the motions of getting my muscular abs, I slowly changed my mind. Now, instead of wanting muscular abs, I have decided to settle for firm flat abs instead. There is a hint of a six pack lurking around to be seen, but for the most part, my abs are not muscular, they are flat and firm.

What changed my mind? Well, a lot of things really, but this is not about me. This is a personal choice that you need to make and one that you will need to make soon enough when you reach that stage where you can either progress forwards with even more intensity and focus on getting muscular abs, or you can stay where you are and be content to keep the new shape that you have worked so hard to get.

What about you though? Where would you draw the line? Would you go in for firmer flatter abs than you have now, or would you push on striving to get muscular abs instead? Obviously you will need to be aware of the facts and things, and how you feel at the time, but in general, if you are not very fond of exercising (and I wasn't and in fact, still am not), then you might find that going beyond the realm of firm flat abs is beyond you.

To get muscular abs you need to do so much more than if you only wanted firmer flatter abs. You will need to change your diet around almost completely so that you body has the proper nutrition it needs to help develop and keep, those muscular abs you want. You will have to cut down, or cut back completely on things like processed and sugary foods, empty calorie foods, alcohols and other things like grease laden meals from the diner around the corner.

Another thing that you will need to take into account, is that you will need to exercise more, not more frequently, but with more intensity in your workout than otherwise. As you can see in order to get the muscular abs you want, you will not only need to stay fit and work out more, but you will also need to watch what you eat. And after you weigh everything up, you can then decide whether you want to go in for muscular abs or not, at which point you will know exactly what you want of course.
