LoseFatLiveHealthy: 6 Secrets to Six Pack Abs!

I wanted to give you 6 things you can do starting today
that will help you get six-pack abs.

Ready?

1) Do away with the crunches and sit ups. In real life, your
abs are used to stabilize your body, so you should train them
as such. That means getting rid of crunches and adding
more movements to your routine like push ups, planks and
squats. Besides, crunches aren't fat burning exercises, so
they play no role in getting rid of belly fat.

2) Focus on compound movements. What I'm talking about here
is simply doing exercises that work more than one muscle group
at a time. Again, in real life, your body works as one integrated
unit. Doing isolation movements like crunches, bicep curls
and leg extensions that only work one muscle group at a time
is not the way your body was made to function. Focus on
movements that work more than one muscle group at a time,
like push ups, pull ups, sprinting, squats, lunges, step ups,
etc. Plus when you work many muscle groups at once, you can
shorten your workout, saving you time. Isn't that sweet? : )

3) Pay attention to what you eat. Concentrate on eating foods
that are in their natural state. The fewer ingredients a food
has, the better. Eat smaller, more frequent meals throughout
the day and make sure you include breakfast and a meal after
you workout that has a carb to protein ratio of about 3 to 1.
Your diet should contain plenty of fruits and vegetables, eggs,
nuts, seeds, lean protein, fish, sweet potatoes, almond butter,
olive oil, oatmeal, etc.

4) Ramp up your cardio training. Walking on a treadmill isn't
going to cut it. Make sure to add in some interval training
alternating between short bursts of high intensity exercise
with longer bouts of lower intensity exercises. For even
better results, vary your interval training. Try hill sprints,
regular sprints, jump rope intervals, squat thrust intervals,
treadmill, etc.

5) Train your back. A lot of people only focus on the
muscles that they can see, like arms, crunches, chest and
shoulders. But what about your hamstrings, and upper and lower
back? Your body needs balance and these muscles shouldn't
be ignored. Some of the best exercises you can do for these
are pull ups, back extensions, supermans, stability ball
hamstring curls, deadlifts and one legged step ups.

6) Hire a coach. Studies have shown that if you have a coach
or a support partner or team, you will be much more likely to
achieve your goals. It is important to know exactly what to
do and have someone guide you through the process.

You can consider trying Scott Colby’s “ My First Six Pack” which is a coaching program designed to walk you through the process of getting six-pack abs.

I hope these tips help you. Put them into practice today
and I promise you'll be well on your way to being able
to show off your new body in your swimsuit in no time.

Have a great day!

In good Health!
