What Does It Take To Get The Abs?

Surprising foods (that you thought were unhealthy) that actually assist the fat-burning process in your body


The question on getting nice six pack keeps on always coming back. Whether a person is young or old, everyone wants to know about 6 packs and how to get them to show. So let me ask you something; do you know that you already have abs? Would you believe me if i told you that you have them, as a matter of fact everyone has them! Well, whether you believe me or not, truth is everyone has abs; thing is, they are hiding; and the reason why you some do not see them is simply because they are surrounded by belly fat.

To most of you it might sound like something you know very well and could possibly be saying to yourselves right now that it is easier said than done and that i am not in your shoes and so on; that's fine, it is your right to believe that, but fact is that i only started going to the gym and eating healthy in the last 2 years. Before that i was on the bigger side. When i decided to start eating healthy and to do exercises, at the same time i decided to learn how my body responded to variations of nutrition and to different types of bodybuilding. I tested my body myself, because no personal trainer can make a plan that is perfect for me, unless he knows how my body works; that takes time and money so i decided to do it by myself.

Let me now return back to the six pack subject and let me end the confusion on how to get abs once and for all. I do not recommend that you buy some expensive fancy ab machines, and even less some magic pills to burn fat. They will cause more harm to your system than anything else, plus not to mention money. So instead, save that money on new clothes for when you lose the extra pounds and get the 6 packs.

What does it take to get abs?

- In order to lose the Jelly Belly, first thing you must do is to take the decision to do it. Whatever and however you do it, keep in mind that you need to stick to that decision no matter how hard it might get at times; you need to realize that you have to stick to the nutrition and work out program; because as long as you are committed to it, the end result will be positive; you will end up having the abs.

- With the decision to follow through, comes patience. Very important that you put in your head that nothing happens overnight. Do not get discouraged and do not let any negative ideas cross your mind. You will get those 6 packs, but you need to be patient. Depending on how much you have to lose, as long as you are committed into the workout, in the end, you will get it your way.

- As i mentioned the exercises before, you need to work the abs even though they will be covered with belly fat for some time. I would suggest to you to do ab workout three times per week; make sure you do not work out your abs every day; make sure it is every second day. Just like all other muscles, the abdomen muscles needs to rest and recuperate as well. I suggest that you do three different exercises of twelve repetitions each, and do not have them all work the same part of the abs. I suggest to you one for the oblique's, one for the lower abs, and one for the upper part. It is also very important to do them well. Do not just go out there, make the exercises fast and then leave. Concentrate on your breathing, do them slow and make your movements controlled. It is very important to focus on the quality of your work out, rather than the quantity. If you are not sure on the proper technique, there are many videos out there to show you how to do exercises.

- With the exercises comes the nutrition. They go hand in hand. Don't go bodybuilding and then you go and eat a double burger with fries. I suggest to you 5 equal meals per day all divided equally in calories; the snacks should be the same amount of calories as the meals, and have a combination of carbohydrates, proteins and fats in each of the meals. Avoid bread, use brown rice or Quinoa instead. Make sure your nutrition is high in fiber. Cut down to minimum or to 0 on sodium; it will give you nothing else but water retention and make you bloated. Most important, never forget the breakfast. It is the most important meal of the day. It jump starts your entire system.

- Speed your heart rate and let your blood circulate in your body by doing cardio; some great exercises for cardio are power walking, aerobic exercises, spinning classes, swimming and even more.

- The next great thing to have your abs show is to cut all alcohol consumption and drink lots of water. One think i used to cut down my big appetite was to drink a glass of 250ml of water before each meal and one after my meals. I felt full, but it was just water. You get your system to feel full ad at the same time drinking water reduces your water retention, therefore less bloated as well. Sounds strange, but it is the truth.

So now that you know what needs to be done, you no longer need to wonder how to get six pack.You can get up and you know the secret to lose your belly fat fast.

Lose belly fat now!
