If you could sculpt one body part to perfection for next summer, what would it be?
Let me guess - six pack abs! I don't know anybody who does not want to shrink there
waistline, lose body fat, eliminate low back pain and develop a jaw dropping set
of rock-hard six-pack. Too bad that your brain has been poisoned with contaiminated
information.
Before you can start learing how to get six-pack abs and discover the truth about
what it really takes to build a beach-worthy abdominal section, you must first expose
the lies, myths and rumors. Before we talk about how to get six-pack abs, the right
way, we must re-program your
hard drive and empty the
trash can
of garbage you have been fed.
Because of all this hyped up and misguided information - even among so-called 'fitness
experts' - you should skeptical of discerning about all abdominal training equipment
and programs. Let's first eliminate the top four ways not to get a six-pack:
Learning how to get a six-pack does not require expensive workout
equipment promoted through obnoxious infomercials. You can't flick on the TV anymore
without seeing two new abdominal exercise machines being promoted at once. There
are so many of them, that if you get suckered into these 'ab workout' gimmicks,
you will be broke quicker than Ben Johnson sprints the 100 m dash! And get this:
Of the $520 million dollars a year spent on exercise equipment, abdominal machines
get a $208 million dollar piece of the pie!
Learning how to get a six-pack does not require thousands or even
hundreds of crunches a day. So much for the Brittany Spears ab workou! Crunches
are decent but totally overused and associated with more being better. Crunches
is a very general exercise and general exercises get general results. Excessive
floor crunches shorten the abdominal wall, pull your head forward and emphasize
poor posture. They also involve a very low level of stimulation which negelets adequate
muscle fiber recruitment.
Learning how to get a six-pack does not involve starvation diets.
Starvation diets starve the muscle when instead, you should be feeding the muscle.
Guess what happens when you starve your body? Your metabolism shuts down out of
survival and causes your body to store fat. Your body must get energy from somewhere
so guess what gets sacrificed? That's right, your precious muscle which is in fact
responsible for a maintaining a high metabolism. Starve your muscle - great logic!
Learning how to get a six-pack does not require fat burning pills.
What did the last weight loss pill you bought do for you? The same thing the next
one is going to do - nothing! Except give you a thinner wallet but not a thinner
waist line. The entire concept of taking pills to 'burn fat' is built on a sandy
foundation and misleading because diet pills only treat the symptons and not the
root cause. Without focusing on the root problems of a flabby mid-section, like
nutrition, lifestyle and proper training, you will just end up where you started
- farther away from having a six-pack for summer instead of closer.
If just landed on earth from Mars today, and were able to avoid these four completely
wrong ways to build a six-pac, than you will have an advantage over the rest of
the world and be one enormous step closer to taking your shirt off with pride!
