Getting the perfect Abs 'six pack'

[ashLOVESMatt!]

Alot of boys, especially at a young age dream about having a 'six pack' in experience, you cannot get one over night nor can you get one by sitting down and eating junk all day. I guess it's kinda like an exam you have to sit; in order for you to get a decent mark, you need to revise and work hard, well the same principles apply here.

It is very hard work to get your abdominal muscles to show. You need to set yourself goals and not break them, otherwise you won't achieve anything. Firstly, if you examin your stomach area you'll be able to see how much fat you have, now that fat is what's preventing your abs from showing; this is why your dietary needs are also important to get a 'six pack' However, some people don't have as much fat as others so simple 'working out' or doing regular activies that help the abs work are needed.

Burning stomach fat is a job, and you will not manage it by doing things like 'sit ups' or press ups, these are myths. All these do is tone the abdominal muscles or build muscle, such as the biceps. No matter how many press ups/sit ups you do a day, you will not notice any significant weight loss around the stomach. So, what do you do? Sports. Things such as running/swimming/tennis and walking at a fast pace will help you loose weight around the stomach and the results will show!

Diet: Eating chocolate and treats everyday will not help at all. Make sure to have 6 pints of water everyday and your portions of fruit and vegetables.

Once you have a slim stomach, you need to tone your ab muscles, here is where the good ol' sit ups and press ups come in. An amateur should aim for 10 sit ups and press ups a day and then increase them. After 2 weeks you will notice a difference, your muscles will generally be stronger and your stomach should feel hard and you may see some definition inbetween the different ab muscles.

Because there are 6 ab muscles 'Six pack' you need to work all of them, and you will not work all of them by doing sit ups/push ups alone, this is where doing sports on a regular basis helps especially running and swimming. However, if you prefer to work your abs at home, get onto Google and search crunches, you'll find out how to do different crunches, which are much like sit ups but they work your other ab muscles.

Anyone who says you need to work out everyday and do 200 sit ups a day is lying. I recommend sticking to a routine and writing out a weekly schedule and leaving a day for rest, because afterall your muscles need rest to grow. Try to work out atleast 3 times a week, and then increase it to 5 when you feel confident with the different crunches/exercises you can do.

After around a month you'll see your results really well, just don't give up on your routine though and start slacking by grabbing the nearest chocolate bar near you, geez!

That's all from me,

If you really do not want a abs, Just eat food, Dont do heathly stuff, Not too much just until you have a small amount of fat.

Im not in****ing the girls but, I dislike girls with 2/4/6 pack, Most boys like girls who have a small amount of fat, Not too much and not skinny.
