Toned Abs In 8 Weeks

By Dan Solaris

Individuals with nicely toned abs are attractive not only because of being physically fit. It also says a lot about their character because being able to keep one's body fat index low enough to maintain a shredded six pack takes a lot of focus, self-discipline and relentless exercise. Being able to attain one's goal is an instant confidence booster and self-confidence is always attractive.

Six pack abs are becoming harder to come by in the present fast food culture we live in because of combination of things- extra hours at the office, sedentary lifestyles and irregular sleep patterns. All these contribute to the excess fat tissues that 66% of Americans are carrying around.

It's ironic that despite these figures from recent data gathered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, diet products and ab programs are actually making a killing. It's evident then that the fat-loss methods being promoted by gimmicky infomercials are ineffective in producing nice toned abs.

A great number of those that take-up aerobics and weights classes give-up after a few months because of slow gains from their efforts. Most of the time, it's because they're not maximizing their workouts for rapid calorie-burn.

A lot of folks have a common misconception about attaining a tight six pack. They do countless abdominal exercises- leg raises, crunches, etc. and still see minimal results from their efforts after years of working out. Doing all the right things on all fronts- diet, exercise and lifestyle will raise metabolism and let you get tight, toned abs in 2 months!

Although it's possible to get a tight, good looking body without dieting by working-out intensely, the process would take longer. Beginners will have a hard time with high intensity exercises, so it's a good idea to eat wisely by replacing junk food with nutritious munchies like nuts and fruits. Making it a point to eat breakfast will also keep you from over-indulging during lunch or dinner and prevent an outsized gut.

Schedule too tight for working out? It's actually possible to burn enough calories to facilitate loss of body fat by maximizing our workouts. Starting-out aerobic sessions at high intensity for the first 5 minutes will kick-start our metabolism and let us burn more calories in less time. Doing core-based exercises for both strength and cardio training will also get more muscle groups working resulting in more calories at once.

Strength-training workouts can be intensified by keeping the rest periods between sets short. This enables you to get the benefits of added muscle and cardio exercise simultaneously, raising metabolism even higher and prolonging the body's calorie-burning process. - 17274
