How To Get A Six Pack Fast

By Jay Allen

One of the most common questions I get asked frequently is how to I get a set of six pack abs fast? Mistakenly, a lot of people believe the secret is to churn out hundreds, if not thousands, of crunches or sit ups. Unfortunately, this is not the case. The abs lie below a layer of fat tissue. It is getting rid of this layer of fat tissue that is the key.

Losing belly fat will not be achieved alone by performing abdominal workouts. In order to get rid of the layer of fat that lies over them it is necessary to reduce calorie intake and to increase the metabolism of the body, therefore, burning more fat. Many of the workout programs for the abs do not increase the metabolic rate enough to stimulate this fat loss. There are much more effective ways to achieve this.

The best exercises are, in fact, those that stress the whole body therefore increasing the body's metabolism. Those I would include would be:

A combination of leg exercises such as squats, dead lifts, clean and presses, lunges, snatches, sprinting and chest exercises like bench presses.

You will see that many of these exercises involve using the quadriceps muscles which are the big muscles on the front of the thighs. These are large muscles that burn many calories when used. As they use lots of energy I would not advise doing them every day as you need to allow your body to recover. They are best when used as part of an overall exercise regime.

An additional benefit of these exercises is that they also stimulate the production of growth hormone in the body which would also assist in overall muscle growth, including the abs.

It is still important to remember that you still need to exercise the abdominal muscles in order to stimulate them to grow. They will also benefit from the increase in growth hormone which will give an additional boost. As with the exercises for the large muscles it is beneficial to incorporate them into an overall workout regime.

Also, remember that nutrition is probably the most important factor when losing abdominal fat. Eating junk will just counteract any work you put in on a great workout regime.

So, the answer to the question on how to get six pack fast, the answer involves mainly concentrating on exercises that work the large muscle groups along with adequate nutrition to help with fat loss. This combined with some focused abdominal exercises will soon see you to your goal. - 17274
