The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting different results. In saying the majority of people trying to get six pack abs are insane. Adding 50 more crunches to you routine is not going to get you results. Neither is added an extra 40 minutes of cardio. You need to do something different. If you want 6 pack abs, follow the guidelines below. This is the easiest way to get six pack abs. Ditch the long cardio. The fat burning zone does in fact burn more fat that doing intervals while you are performing the exercise. But in the long run you are wasting your time. Interval training is far better way to do cardio. You will definitely burn less fat while you are performing the exercise, but the after the exercise is completed you will be in the fat burning zone. And most likely be in the fat burning zone for up to 12 hours later. If you stop exercising in the fat burning fat your metabolism drops back to normal. As you can see 12 hour in the fat burning zone from intervals is far more beneficial than the 40 minutes of slow long cardio. Perform compound exercises like squats, lunges, dead lifts, bent over rows, military press and weighted dips. These are extremely demanding exercises and will burn more calories. These exercises also involve balance. And whenever balance is involved, so is your abs and core. Just like with the intervals with cardio, you will continue to burn more calories for many hours after the workout has completed. Because of the demands of the exercises, your body will release a muscle building hormone. One pound of lean muscles expends 35 calories a day. By having more lean muscle you will have a greater metabolism. All this leads to greater fat loss. Make sure that you are on a proper diet and avoid cutting too many calories. You will be working hard and your body needs to refuel. What you are looking for is a diet in which you consume 500 calories less than what it would take to maintain your weight taking in account what you expend with your workouts. You are also looking to vary the amount of calories that you eat each day. If you continuously eat fewer calories your body will try to adjust and actually lower your metabolism. If you vary the daily amount of calories while keeping an overall calorie deficient diet, you will maintain if not increase your metabolism while losing fat. Do not do 100 crunches a day. If you want to increase the size of your biceps you would not do 100 curls with a 5 pound weight. So why do so many people do this with their abs. Add weight so the max amount of repetitions you can complete is 12 to 15. This is the most effective rep range to build was board abs. I know that this is 100 foot overview. But following these guidelines is the easiest way to get six pack abs. If you would like more information on a step by step program to achieve tight six pack abs click the link below.

It is important that you have cheat days with your diet. Otherwise your body will eventually get used to it and lower your metabolism. A guy name John Benson is the most knowledgeable person I know about calorie shifting and diets. Check out his site Post a comment
