How To Get Six Pack Abs:

You see, the truth is that you don’t get six pack abs by doing abdominal or ab specific exercises. The reason that most people can’t see their abs is because they have fat sitting over their ab muscles.

The only way to get six pack abs (guys) is to lower your body fat percentage down into the single digits, usually the 8-10% range is where most guys will see their abs.

Your main goal is to get rid of the fat that is sitting over your ab muscles. I am tired of all the infomercials trying to sell us some belt or ab machine that claims to work your ab muscles better than doing a traditional sit-up.

You know what, it doesn’t matter how well those machines and gadgets work your ab muscles, because you don’t get abs by doing ab specific exercises in the first place.

We all have abs, we just need to remove the fat that is sitting over our ab muscles.

Now that you know that doing sit-ups and abdominal specific exercises are not the way to get six pack abs and that you have to get your body fat percentage down in to the 8-10 % range lets talk about how to do just that.

  1. Eat foods that will force your body to stop storing fat!
  2. Use weight training to build lean muscle mass, which forces your metabolism to increase helping you burn more fat.
  3. Use cardiovascular training to turbo charge your fat loss.

These are the same 3 principles I used to lose over 30 pounds and get six pack abs when I was 31 years old (I’m 33 at the time of writing this article). These are the exercises to lose belly fat.

The reason that most people don’t get six pack abs and give up is because they don’t have a strategy and they don’t have the right strategy and they focus on the wrong exercises to lose belly fat.

The strategy above worked for me and trust me, I tried everything for years and years with no success. It was not until I followed the strategy above day in and day out did I get six pack abs.
