Exercise Questions - How Do I Get 6 Pack Abs?

exercise questions Exercise Question:
I have belly fat and just can't get rid of it. I would like to know the fastest way to get great looking abs. I go to the gym 5 days a week and looks great everywhere on my body but I would like to see my 6 pack abs. How do to I get them?

 

exercise questions Exercise Answer:
The number one way to get great looking abs is through making changes to your diet. Yes, it really comes down to what you put in your mouth and the main focus should be eating clean nutritious food while eliminating all the empty calories from your nutrition plan. Along with a clean diet, you will also need to implement a cardio training routine into your overall program. I recommend a high intensity cardio routine because it burns major calories and only takes 20 minutes per workout! Remember, everyone already has a 6-pack of washboard abs. Its just usually hiding under a layer of body fat that's ruining having a sculpted midsection!

In terms of diet, I would recommend focusing on lean protein sources (chicken breast, turkey breast, egg whites) and lean fibrous carbs (broccoli, mushrooms, squash, zucchini). A quick daily menu could consist of:

  • 8am:
    1 chicken breast (8 ounce), 1 cup of steamed brown rice, 1 small salad with balsamic vinaigrette dressing.

  • 11am:
    turkey sandwich with whole wheat bread (8 ounces of lean turkey breast, lettuce, tomato, mustard) (NO cheese or mayo).

  • 2pm:
    8 ounces of top round steak, 1 cup of broccoli, 1 cup of non-fat cottage cheese

  • 5pm:
    egg white omelet (8 egg whites, mushrooms), 2 pieces of whole wheat toast (NO butter)

  • 8pm:
    8 ounces of fish (salmon, catfish, trout, halibut, etc.), 2 cups steamed zucchini, 1 small salad with balsamic vinaigrette dressing

In terms of strengthening your abs, here is my favorite ab exercise which really burns the muscles and builds up those wash board abs. Your abs should be trained every other day and stick with 5 sets of 25-40 reps per set.
