How to get 6 pack abs Fast!

Dreaming of a  sexy 6 pack abs? Well, this article will help you get started immediately. All you need is to follow a proper 6 pack abs diet program and do the 6 pack abs workout (”crunches”)

Step 1: The 6-Pack Abs Diet.

This is perhaps the most important part of obtaining that impressive 6-pack abs. You need to break up your 3 square meals a day (breakfast, lunch and dinner) into 5 or 6 mini-meals because this will jump starts your metabolism and burn away the extra fat. See the article on a sample diet plan

Stop eating fatty and processed food, and avoid simple carbs. Food such as white bread, pasta, soda, candy, chocolates, hydrogenated oils, fructose corn, etc are extremely bad health – and will destroy any chances of a finely tone 6-pack abs.

Instead, eat the foods that contain lean meat, complex carbohydrates, vegetables and legumes. For example, oatmeal, olive oil, whole grain breads, nuts, eggs, tuna, boiled chicken, fruits and vegetables, etc. Go organic where possible.

Step 2: 6 Pack Abs Workout

A good bodybuilder will focus on ALL muscle groups. However, for the purpose of getting the fabulous 6-pack abs, you need to focus on 3 different exercises, namely:

1. Cardio: 3-4 times a week, e.g. walking, jogging, swimming, etc. It doesn’t matter which cardio you choose, but the secret here is to do the cardio in quick bursts. This will burn the fat fast. For example, if you’re walking, walk for 2 minutes and then sprint for 30 seconds. Repeat this cycle 8-12 times. This has the extra advantage of enhancing the health of your lungs.

2. Weight Lifting – did you know that adding an extra 3 pounds of muscles is equivalent to burning as many calories as a one mile jog? You should aim to lift weights at least twice a week, about 30 minutes in each session.

3. Abdominal Exercises – The most effective abs exercise is the “Crunch”.

Here’s how you do it.

Lie down on the floor with your legs straightened. Then, bend your legs until the sole of your feet are flat on the floor. Next cross your arms so that each hand is touching the opposite shoulder. (*don’t put your hands behind your head as this will cause stress on your neck and spine). Then, slowly bend your waist, lifting your shoulders in the process. As your upper body is lifted off the floor, you should notice your abs “crunching”. Hold it for 5 sec and then come back down slowly.

*remember, Crunches are different from sit-ups. You need not sit up, just raise yourself sufficiently to get your upper body off the flooer.

Well, there you have it. Follow the above for 90-120 days, and you will soon see those fabulous 6 pack abs.
