Todays topic is how to get those 6 pack abs because I mean, who doesn’t want them. The issue is how to get them, how to keep them and how to avoid that beer belly or extra weight around your mid section.
So this may go without saying but I have to tell you, if you don’t pay attention to what you’re eating it doesn’t matter how much work you’re putting in at the gym. There’s simply no way around it, if you want to get those six pack abs you need to address nutrition, clean up your diet, avoid highly processed, sugary and fatty foods.
If you’re hitting the gym after work, going for a bike ride or run and then jump in the fast food line on your way home most of your work is negated, which is why it’s a good idea to always have healthy snack foods with you so you’re never hungry and don’t give in to those cravings.
When it comes to actual ab work, you could do thousands of sit ups but again, if you don’t pay attention to the types of food you’re putting in your body, then you’re wasting your time, at least when it comes to six pack abs.
I’m a big fan of high intensity workouts, done the proper way with a coach to get started in need be. This is a great way to burn fat, bump up your metabolism and keep it running hours after a workout. High intensity workouts usually don’t take much time and most of them cover your entire body. So if you’re one of those people that spend an hour on a cardio machine, change up your workouts and try a high intensity workout and watch the results come flooding in.
Speaking of changing up your workout, it’s essential to keep changing up your routine, which is called muscle confusion, this keeps your muscles guessing and changing, trying to adapt which will get you closer to those 6 pack abs.
