How can you get six pack abs fast?

Answer 1

HOW CAN YOU GET SIX PACK ABS FAST

How you can get six pack abs fast is through correct eating, cardiovascular (cardio) exercise, and abdominal exercise. In other words, the way to get six pack abs is to first make sure your muscle to fat ratio is correct.

There is no point doing abdominal work if you have a layer of belly fat. If you have a layer of belly fat, you will not see abs no matter how developed they are. In fact, if you develop muscle under a layer of fat, you can look worse than before you began. Abdominal exercises certainly are necessary but there is a public misconception that places these, as being more important than the correct diet for six-pack abs. Doing hundreds of crunches and sit-ups does not burn fat. Unless you first remove the fat, your abs will not show.

As little as, 1/16th to 1/4 of an inch of fat in the abdominal region is all that is needed to obscure your abdominals. Proper eating and exercise are the first steps. So, lets look at both before we move on to abdominal exercises.

HOW CAN YOU GET SIX PACK ABS FAST THROUGH CORRECT EATING HABITS

Eliminate, or strictly limit, refined processed carbohydrates (apart from an occasional treat). Over-consumption of these foods is a major cause of Heart disease, weight gain, obesity, high blood pressure, insulin resistance, body fat accumulating around the stomach or abdomen, borderline or type 2 Diabetes, and many other diet related diseases and conditions. By eliminating, or strictly limiting these foods you will be not only on your way to building six pack abs fast, you will also be on your way to optimum health and longevity.

Replace the refined processed carbohydrates with more of the so-called 'fat burning' foods and take full advantage of the fat burning thermic effect of these foods. Drinking plenty of water will help your body to process these foods. At the bottom of this answer, you will find a page link leading to a list of these nutritious foods and more information about the thermic effect of food. Unless for some medical reason you should not, I suggest drinking 2 or 3 quarts of clean water daily.

In addition, limit your intake of saturated fat. Use beneficial fat and oils. We DO need some fat in our diets. Unlike carbohydrates, proteins and fats are essential to health and to sustain life. In other words, you could live without carbohydrates if you had to.

However, if you ate a protein free diet or a fat free die, you would become unwell and die. (This is why very low fat diets can be detrimental to health.)

Historically, our bodies are well equipped to consume fats and proteins, but poorly equipped to consume carbohydrates. This is because our ancestors didn't evolve eating carbohydrates; they evolved eating fats and proteins. When digested, all carbohydrates become sugar. So think of eating carbohydrate as eating sugar and think of eating refined processed carbohydrate as eating concentrated sugar. For weight loss, get your carbohydrates from natural unprocessed sources such a low carbohydrate leafy green vegetables, or leafy green salads, and low carbohydrate fruits such as berries.

HOW CAN YOU GET SIX PACK ABS FAST THROUGH CARDIO EXERCISE

In addition to changing eating habits, engage in regular cardiovascular (cardio) exercise to burn body fat. Any activity that increases your heart and respiration rates is cardio exercise. There are different kinds of cardio exercise, and different degrees ranging from very intense to very mild. There is an inverse proportion between intensity and duration. Intense exercise must be brief! For example, you can sprint 100 meters, but you cannot sprint 5000 meters. Intense cardio exercises include running, interval training, and graded exercise protocol. An example of mild cardio exercise would be a brisk walking plan (on a treadmill or outdoors). At the bottom of this answer, there are page links to a choice of free cardio exercise plans -- mild, intense, or a combination of cardio and weight training exercise if you want to go further to build muscle and burn fat.

Here are a few other examples of cardio exercise:

• trampolining
• minitrampolining
• nordic walking
• aerobic dancing
• running
  
• rowing
• jogging on a treadmill or outdoors
• cross-country skiing

HOW CAN YOU GET SIX PACK ABS FAST THROUGH AB AND CORE EXERCISES

Some people believe that the way to get six pack abs fast is to train the abs every day. This will not speed up the process, however, because muscles need time to recuperate and grow.

Training causes damage to the muscles, and, because of this, the muscles respond by getting bigger and stronger. Therefore, daily ab workouts will not allow enough time for the abdominals to rest and grow.

However, the abdominals do recuperate faster than most other muscle groups. So, you could train them up to 3 times per week. The time it takes to see results varies in relation to body fat percentage. When the fat has gone, however, you should start to see results within a week or two if you do your ab workouts correctly (and if you continue to avoid or strictly limit refined processed carbohydrate. At the bottom of this answer, there are page links leading to free exercises for six-pack abs (suitable for beginners or more advanced).

HOW CAN YOU GET SIX PACK ABS FAST: SUMMARY

So, there is many myths about core strength exercises, six-pack abs, and how you can get six pack abs fast.

FACT: You can huff and puff doing crunches every day but all that work will be for nothing unless you first reduce body fat. Therefore, avoid or restrict refined processed carbohydrates, eat more or the specific fat burning proteins, and engage in regular cardio exercise. Then when you have lost any excess body fat, begin your ab and core exercises. As stated earlier, if you begin your ab and core exercises too soon, you will end up with muscle under a layer of fat. (Then you can look worse than before you began!)
