6 Pack Abs - The Commitment
We all know how hard it is to get lean well enough to expose our abdominal muscles under the stubborn layer of belly fat. A well-defined physique and contour abs comes from commitment, some sacrifice and total dedication to living healthy.
To get 6 pack abs, a person not only has to watch what he eats- avoiding food with empty calories and sticking to healthier alternatives, he has to exercise consistently as well. Only by maintaining a healthy diet and doing the right combination of exercises that focus on calorie burn can one hope to get a flat and lean midsection that will turn heads on the beach.
Having a healthy low-fat diet doesn't require turning into a health nut however. Strict low-calorie diets are in fact deficient in protein or carbohydrates needed by the human body for muscle growth and daily energy. Experts say it's ultimately beneficial for out fat-loss goals to eat ample amounts of nutrient-rich foods like fruits and nuts together with well-balanced meals.
A full, well-balanced meal means the right amounts of macronutrients- carbs for energy, protein for muscle maintenance and development, fiber to help in digestion and flush out the bad stuff (this includes fat). We all know the common sources of the first two. Fiber as well as a potpourri of vitamins and minerals can be had from eating lots of fruits and veggies each day.
A lot of people make the all too common mistake of drastically reducing their food intake in efforts to get lean. This can actually deter the body's fat-burning properties because our metabolism drops when we're hungry. It's better to eat sparingly several times throughout the day than to pig-out each meal- specially dinner.
Even if we don't do it on purpose, we tend to over-eat when we sit down for a meal after going for several hours without food. Doing this repeatedly will result in an outsized gut because eating too much in one sitting causes our stomach to balloon out of proportion- the last thing we want on getting 6 pack abs.
It's quite impossible to lose fat quickly through dieting alone. A slew of exercises that maximize caloric energy burn from body fat are also necessary in bringing out the rippling muscles of the abdomen underneath the layer of belly fat. Only by both eating wisely and exercising consistently will get you flat washboard abs before your hair turns gray.
A combination of body weight aerobic exercises like running or biking, core-strengthening workouts using a wobble board or an exercise ball and conventional bodybuilding have been found to be the best in burning the most calories in less time. The more calories burned, the more fat eliminated and a flatter, leaner midsection will result. - 17273
