How i Got Abs.com

This article focuses on losing belly fat by using cardio exercise such as running, sprinting, biking, swimming or any other exercise that gets you breathing hard and huffing and puffing.

I’ll start by saying that yes, you do have to do cardio vascular exercise if you want to turbo charge your fat loss and get ripped six pack abs.

Why cardio?

Cardio exercise at the right intensity and duration allows your body to use fat for fuel. When your body uses fat for fuel you lose fat.

I know a lot of experts are going around saying that you don’t need to do cardio to get ripped six pack abs, but from my experience you do need cardio.

I started out as an over weight 31 year old guy with a big gut and 20% plus body fat. (That’s me in the photo below).

I used to pump iron and lift weights almost every day of the week, yet I was not able to lose my gut.

It was not able to lose my gut until I…

1. Built a proper nutrition plan (notice I did not say diet)
2. Used weight training as part of my exercise program
3. Added cardio exercise to turbo charge my fat loss

With this being said, cardio alone is not going to give you ripped six pack abs. You need the system and the right system for your individual body type.

Here’s my simple motto for getting ripped six pack abs.

1. Eat the right foods, the right amount of them, and at the right times of the day
2. Use weight training to build lean muscle mass
3. Use cardio exercise to turbo charge your fat loss

To your success,

The biggest mistake I see people make when attempting to get six pack abs is doing hundreds of crunches or sit-ups.

For some reason all of the infomercials have us believing that you get six pack abs by using some fancy ab machine or by wearing some ab belt.

The biggest one that gets me is those commercials showing how their ab device works more ab muscles than your standard crunch or sit-up.

If you have fat over your ab muscles you can do as many crunches or sit-ups as you want but you’ll never get six pack abs unless you get rid of the fat that is sitting over your abdominal muscles.

So… with this being said, who cares if some ab machine works more muscles than your standard crunch, neither of these exercises are going to get you six pack abs if you have fat on your stomach.

Guys, if you want six pack abs your main goal should be to get your body fat % in the 8-10% range.  Don’t worry about doing ab specific exercises.

Your main goal should be to create a fat loss program that is going to help you get your body fat % in the 8-10% range.

Look at my photos below, I hardly ever do sit-ups or crunches and you can see that I have six pack abs.

Conclusion:

Please don’t be fooled by all of the infomercials. Those folks are usually just taking advantage of the fact that people believe that there is a magic tool or pill that is going to give them six pack abs.

Remember, getting six pack abs is all about lowering your body fat percentage to the 8-10% range (men).
