Muscle Building Workouts, How to Achieve the Best Six Pack Abs

By Ricardo d Argence

Are you a bit of a night owl, so that you watch any TV after midnight? If so, you've probably seen a lot of infomercials, many of them promoting ab related projects. There are fad diets, machines, pills, and workouts that promise to give you the sixpack you've always wanted. There's no shortage of "yes, you can too" hype, but is it really possible to get sixpack abs through any of these methods?

In fact, most of these are not reliable methods, but they're fads; they don't last very long, either. Instead, they're exposed for what they really are and people move on to the next "newest and greatest." Those, too, go on to fail, for the most part. So if that's true, can you get flat abs? And if so, how?

The truth is, the best way to get a six-pack is with a time tested approach. You might not want to hear this, but the best way to achieve this goal is through a healthy diet and exercise.

In other words, there's no shortcut to getting the body you want. You might find a way to drop a few pounds quickly, but they'll likely come on again just as quickly as they came off if this is the approach you take.

Now that we know you're going to have to exercise, what types of exercises should you do? Should you just get on the ground and start doing thousands of crunches? Will this give you the six-pack of your dreams? Actually it won't do much at first.

Your ab muscles are probably covered up by a layer of fat. This means that if you want to see those abs, you have to get rid of the fat first. So how do you get rid of the fat?

Most people believe that they should get on the treadmill and do hours of cardio. However, this is a common misconception as well. The best way to burn fat quickly is through the use of interval training and weight training.

Weight training burns calories while you work out, but it also helps you burn calories when you are resting as well. When your muscles start to develop they will be like little incinerators that are always burning calories in order to replenish themselves. This will decrease the amount of time that it takes you to burn fat. In addition to weight training, mixing in a short burst sprinting workout in is a good idea as well.

And of course, you should also try to eat healthier. If you're always sitting on the couch, drinking beer and eating nachos, you're not going to get that sixpack.

If you want different results, you are going to have to do different things. To get that sixpack, you're going to have to change what you eat. Eat healthy foods and drink a lot of water. If you put good food into your body, it will give you what you want.

In short, it's pretty "simple" to obtain a sixpack, but it's not easy. You're not going to wake up tomorrow with your abs in full view, and you are going to have to work to get them that way. This can take quite a while, depending on how much weight you have to lose to begin with. But do know that you can do this if you stick with it and keep the progress coming. - 17273
