5 Sure-Fire Tips on How to get 6 Pack Abs
By: Clint Gray
It's unbelievable some of the things I hear.
I've been a personal trainer for years and the number one thing that people want to learn is how to get 6 pack abs, yet so many of my clients actually need to focus on something else first - and that's to get rid of the 3 inch cushion they have sitting over their abs!
How to get 6 pack abs tip 1: Cut the fat!
Let's cut straight to the chase - there's no way in hell that you will ever get an eye popping, jaw dropping set of abs if you're overweight - bigger abs will just push your stomach out even further!
So if you're frustrated with your lack of results then you just have to break this down to small steps. The first thing you need to know about how to get 6 pack abs is to focus on fat burning. Break it down into steps and focus on one thing at a time.
How to get 6 pack abs tip 2: "Now do 1,000 crunches!"
Every one thinks they have to do 1,000 crunches like in the old Bruce Lee movies, but I want to let you in on a little secret. You can learn how to get 6 pack abs without even doing any crunches or sit ups!
There are a number of exercises that you can do that works with your 'core'.
Let's face it - muscles are on a human body to perform certain tasks and what good is it to do crunches when this is not your bodies main functional movement when it comes to using the abdominal muscles.
How to get 6 pack abs tip 3: The 'spot reduction' myth
There's no such thing as 'spot reduction'! Many of my clients want to know how to get rid of their love handles, or fat off their lower back, or how to get fat of their stomachs. You always see this people doing more ab crunches trying to 'spot reduce' the fat from their stomachs.
When you engage in a fat burning program you will lose weight all over your body, but everyone has different genetics so there is always a different result for each individual.
How to get 6 pack abs tip 4: Focus
Just think about it, most gym goer's are not even thinking about what they are doing. They are running on the treadmills watching T.V, reading magazines, and some even manage to read newspapers!
These very same people wonder why they have such little results for so much effort. It's simple: Where the focus goes the energy flows. All of their focus is being directed to some type of distraction.
Now you have to listen closely because I'm going to reveal the biggest secret to building the body of your dreams.
You have to develop a mind-muscle connection. If you want results you have to put your mind inside of your muscles. You have to really 'feel' what you are doing and 'feel' which muscles are being worked.
Are you are really focused when you have to ask someone what muscles a particular exercise works because you can 'feel' it?
Drop off all your worries outside the gym door and take 5 minutes to focus on what you want to achieve during your workout. Use this time to get rid of distractions and go all out.
How to get 6 pack abs tip 5: Diet
That's right - diet. The reason why so many people fail to stick to a diet (or the diet literally die's) is because they are unable to sustain what they are doing.
You can go into any book store and pick up a book that has some delicious recipes and are very healthy and simple to make.
Many people are led to believe that eating healthily is a sacrifice. Now I want to pose a very important question to you - what is it that you are sacrificing?
By continuing to treat your body like a rubbish bin, overloading your system with excess fats, carbohydrates, meat and poisons, you are doing some serious damage.
Therefore, switching to a healthy diet is actually a trade up as I guarantee that you will feel amazing, have so much energy without the 'need' for coffee (you can stop screaming now!), your arteries and organs will love you, you will be happier, your skin will have a healthy glow...the list is endless.
So, the question is, "Is that a sacrifice?" Hell no!!!
Now you see there are many factors that come into play when you are looking at how to get 6 pack abs. Start today, throw out that pizza box (pizza included!) and make yourself a plan as to what you really want to achieve and take steps that will take you closer to this goal.
You don't have to reinvent the wheel - find a system that is proven and follow it because you will get results. Just imagine how good it would feel having a full six (sex) pack on your muscle bound body.
