crunches, low fat food, and lots of running.
All that exercise and weightlifting.
It summer.
It’s hot.
Relax.
Have a beer.
If you have enough of them, then
by the end of summer you can
have 12 pack abs instead.
There is so much BS going around about how to get six pack abs. Some is decent advice, but most of it is rubbish. If you want great looking abs, you need to focus on a LOT more than just training the abs directly. Let’s talk about fat loss, the MOST important thing for getting your abs visible.
The most important thing for fat loss, is that your diet is as natural and unprocessed as possible. It almost always comes back to the over processing of food that makes it bad for you, and makes it totally destroy your metabolism and hormone balance in your body. For example, why eat refined grains, when you can eat whole grains. Why eat refined sugar, when you can get natural sources of sugar from a high nutrient whole food like fruit. Why eat highly processed, refined, and hydrogenated vegetable oils (these are THE worst thing in the modern diet), when you can eat natural sources of healthy fats like nuts, avocados, fish, eggs, coconut milk, organically raised meat, and so forth. The point is to not fall for some gimmick like low carbs, low fat, high protein, or any other combination that has you focusing on one macronutrient vs. another. Your body needs all macronutrients to thrive and obtain a variety of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, etc. Trying to cut an entire food group out just works against what your body needs.
There is much more detail on this vitally important topic towards losing body fat for life in the book at the link below, and many more valuable tips. I wish you the best of luck.
Hello Eric, One of the best exercises is the physioball ab crunch. These are a super slow set of crunches where you lay on your back on physioball with knees bent, put your hands behind head and elbows out to the sides. Then lift each vertebra off the floor one by one until you’re in the sit up position then do the same all the way back down to the begining position. Barely stop at the top and at the bottom. Keep in constant motion. This will ensure that you work each section of the abdominal musculature. Do these to fatigue making sure to breathe throughout the exercise. Follow up with 2 sets of alternating obliques where you take each elbow and go to the opposite sidewhile you ar “curling up.”. Being careful to again lift each vertebra off the ball one by one. And, concentrate on making a smooth arc in the air with your elbow then alternate sides. No matter how far you get you will have worked both sides evenly. You can also do these on the floor with your feet ankered under a sofa.
If you are a thinner body type, you’ll see tone more quickly because you have less of the subcutaneous fat (fat under the skin) and will see definition more quickly.
Best of luck to you!
