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).
To your success,
