Steps To Six Pack Abs



To most people, getting six pack abs is almost impossible. However this is achievable. All it requires is dedication. Follow this 2-step guide below religiously for 3 months to get your required results. 

Step 1: Nutrition
This is the single most important part to getting a six pack abs. You can have the most impressive set of abs, but if they're covered with a layer of fat, you cannot see them to admire them. Eat about 5 or 6 mini-meals a day as this will enhance your metabolism. Avoid foods that slow down your metabolism such as white bread, loads of pasta, soda, candy, fast food and foods that are rich in saturated fat.

Foods that enhances metabolism such as oatmeal, olive oil, whole grain breads, fruits, vegetables, nuts, eggs, chicken, fish, protein and water should replace those mentioned above. Let’s be realistic- you'll slip here and there, but make a conscious effort to improve your eating habits because getting a six pack will be impossible if you don't.

Step 2: Exercise

Regular exercise on its own is very beneficial to the body and health generally. To get a six pack ab you have to follow these 3 different exercises: cardio, weightlifting and ab exercises aiming to workout 3- 4 times a week.

The cardio can be walking, running, biking, swimming, whichever cardio you enjoy doing so that you'll stick with it. Aim for 30-45 minutes, a minimum of 2 times a week.

Weightlifting is important because 3 pounds of added muscle burns as many calories as a 1 mile jog and this is while you're just sitting around. If you're confused as to what exercises to do for each body part, do a search on the internet for it.

The last exercise you need to incorporate into your workout is ab exercises. Aim to work your abs a minimum of 3 times a week. There are tons of different ab exercises you can do so try to find 3 or so that you enjoy doing so you can combine them all.

Follow the above tips strictly for 3 months to get six abs even though results will vary from person to person. All you need is dedication on your part.
