Achieve Great Six Pack Abs with the Best Muscle Building Routines

By Ricardo d Argence

If you ever spend any amount of time in front of the TV after midnight, you are bound to see some infomercials. A good portion of those are probably promoting ab-related products. You'll see machines, pills, fad diets, and workouts that promise to give you that six-pack of your dreams. While there is no shortage of theories, do any of them really work?

In fact, most of these fads don't last. They're exposed for the fakes they are and people go onto the next "quick fix" or "breakthrough invention" that's going to give them the abs they want without much work. But if most of these fail, is there a way to truly get flat abs? Can you, really, get flat abs if you don't have them now?

Well, yes, you can, but you're not going to like what it is if you think "quick fixes" are the way to go. In fact, the best way to get flat abs or to get that sixpack is with something that's been tested time and again and found to be effective. That is, you have to adopt a healthy diet and you have to exercise.

In other words, there's no shortcut to getting the body you want. You might find a way to drop a few pounds quickly, but they'll likely come on again just as quickly as they came off if this is the approach you take.

So okay, that's settled. You have to exercise. What types of exercises should you do, though? Should you just start doing a thousand crunches a day? Will this give you the abs you want? It will -- but not at first.

That's because your ab muscles are probably covered by a layer of fat. So if you want to see your abs, you have to get rid of the fat. How do you do this?

Most people believe they have to do a lot of cardio, such as you might experience on the treadmill. However, this is a common (and incorrect) misconception, too. The best way to burn fat quickly, in fact, is by doing weight training and interval training.

With weight training, you burn calories quickly while you work out, but you're building muscle, so you're going to burn calories when you rest as well. As muscles begin to develop, they're going to be burning extra calories, like little incinerators, so that they can keep rebuilding themselves. This will speed up your fat burning capacity, which in turn will decrease the amount of time it takes to burn a certain amount of fat off. Besides weight lifting or weight training, you can also do short bursts of sprinting-type workouts thrown in there, too.

And of course, you should also try to eat healthier. If you're always sitting on the couch, drinking beer and eating nachos, you're not going to get that sixpack.

If you want different results, you are going to have to do different things. To get that sixpack, you're going to have to change what you eat. Eat healthy foods and drink a lot of water. If you put good food into your body, it will give you what you want.

In short, it's pretty "simple" to obtain a sixpack, but it's not easy. You're not going to wake up tomorrow with your abs in full view, and you are going to have to work to get them that way. This can take quite a while, depending on how much weight you have to lose to begin with. But do know that you can do this if you stick with it and keep the progress coming. - 17274
