Start Your 6 Pack Abs Workout In The Kitchen

By Jace P. Andersen

There are basically two types of males - those with a six pack and those without those alluring clump of muscles lining their stomachs. These two groups also live different lives as the guys that stick to their 6 pack abs workout routine spend most of their time shirtless and the others stay fully dressed.

Magazines and movies brought about the idea that the ultimate male had a six pack and the world still believes this today. It may be a bit of a shocker to learn that six packs are actually formed in the kitchen - not so much in the gym.

The answer lies in the layer of fat that covers the abdominal muscles and yes, all of us actually have a six pack. Some of us just have a covered up version, as the belly fat completely hides the underlying muscles. You may train these muscles until they are rock hard, but whilst there is fat covering them, they will hardly be visible.

To keep a fat percentages at zero on your belly you simply must eat right. Even guys with six packs that let go of their good eating habits, soon join the group on the permanently shirted side. The secret is simple - eat the right foods at the right time and you are on your way to that muscled look.

Choose any of the thousands of eating plans guaranteed to show a six pack, but ensure that the basic foodstuff and the portion control of your chosen diet falls into some simple guidelines. The most important one being to eat at least 6 small meals a day!

Number one on your plate is protein. To find your protein serving size, look at the size of your palm of your hand. Next to your proteins should be vegetables - serving size the size of your clenched fist. Finally the plate gets loaded with carbohydrates - one quarter the size of your protein serving.

Mealtimes come around six times a day, so spread them evenly with the same time lapses between each meal. By eating less volume but more meals a day, your metabolism will increase significantly. Now that your diet is sorted, move onto exercises.

Hate them or love them, but the only exercises to build a six pack are crunches. A crunch reverts to a contraction of the muscle by putting strain on it. Keeping the muscle tight and then slowly let the muscle relax. Repeat until you simply can not lift any body part any more and stop.

What you are actually doing is ripping the micro fibers inside your muscles apart. They then grow back with a vengeance - stronger and larger in volume, so the whole muscle expands. As a newcomer to exercise you may find crunches quite hard to do; use the gimmick crunch machines shown on TV to train your body into this exercise; before you know it you are strong enough to do crunches all on your own.

Eat right and throw away your TV remote and you are on your way to that alluring look that makes women swoon. - 17274
