Will this workout/diet get my six packs in 4-5 months

Postby Arch-Angelus » Thu Oct 27, 2011 11:52 pm

Currently im at 14% body fat.
i would like ot drop down to around 7-8%

My diet consists of this meals: (NOT ALL are eaten in one day)
- Whole grain toast with peanut butter and sliced bananas
- Omelette with onions, spinach and red pepper
- Chicken breast meat with rice beans and seasoning (sometimes to i add tomato sauce or pomegranate)
- salad with couscous, red & green onions, cucumbers, lettuce,
- Almonds, walnuts , cashews as occasional snacks
- Whole grain toast with organic peanut butter and slice bananas
- Fruit Smoothie (no added sugar) mixed with low fat yogurt
- Little bit of Dark Chocolate.

Everyday i workout, i go on the treadmill and do an intensity run for 20-25 mins: 50s 4miles/hr, 50s 9miles/hr, 50s 6miles/hr and 50s 12 miles/hr.

i do 85-90 reps of these strength exercises (increasing by 5 reps every week) chest pushups, dumbell flies, dumbell curls, diamond pushups, military pushups, rowing situps/crunches, leg raises, bench-ups, jumping squats. lunges with weights, supermans and sky divers (back-lower back). and a 5min plank (basic, sides, leg raised etc..)

i spread out these exercises around throughout the 5 days of the week that i exercise

such as day 1: biceps, abs, chest,
day 2: triceps, back , shoulders and legs

so far its been almost a month i think i have lost some fat (im getting some loose skin) and all my muscles ESPECIALLY my abs feels stronger/harder even if i dont flex

If i keep this up for 4 months, would i be able to meet my goal?

P.S. My friend says ill end up losing muscle if i do these exercises and then do my cardio-intensity run. Is combining cardio and weight/strength training bad?

to be honest, it's more about knowing how many calories you're taking in vs. using day to day. The first key to getting a six pack is dropping weight which is what you're trying to do by lowering your body fat. You need to figure out the calories burned from the running, lifting, and other daily activities. From the looks of your diet, you should be OK, it all seems quite healthy and fairly low calorie (minus the nut snacks).

----------------------
If you are looking for a 6-pack, don't neglect lower ab exercises. They're the hardest part to target and require the most focus.

As far as I know ( friend of mine is doing the same) you are definately on the right way.
The food you have chosen is very close to perfect for what you want.
weight loss supplements
acne scar treatment
best teeth whitening products
