<p><img src="http://www.tightabsblog.com/wp-includes/images/Healthandfitness3.jpg" border="0" alt="tight abs fast" width="200" height="151" align="left" />When I started my quest to get a strong fit body with sculpted <a title="tight abs" href="http://www.tightabsblog.com" target="_self">tight abs</a> I was absolutely confused.  I did a ton of long slow cardio and an hour in a half of lifting weights.  I did lose some weight but I still had the fat around my stomach.  I was only alittle stronger from when I started out and my muscles were not gaining any size.  I also cut my calories and had very little energy throughout the day.  My workouts started to become a chore and too time consuming.  I eventually I gave up all together.  I basically set myself up for fail.  <strong><em>Save yourself time, money and effort and get it right the first time</em></strong>.  And how do you do that?  You <span style="background-color: #ffff99;">find a mentor</span> that help other people like you and follow his plan.  That is why <span style="background-color: #ffff99; color: #000000;">I was so excited and grateful to find this information</span>.  I was amazed on how easy the solution actually was.  Once you have the knowledge, the rest comes easy.  You see most of the programs and diets are not bad and some do work.  They just do not include all the factors of the individual or the program has not been tested long enough.  That is why these programs seem to work for some people but not all.  You should be happy to know that the <span style="background-color: #ffff99;">guess work is over</span>.  <a title="Tight Abs Program" href="http://www.tightabsblog.com/TruthAboutAbs.html" target="_blank">Just Read the testimonials</a>.  You will have your<span style="background-color: #ffff99;"> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">tight abs</span> <em>fast</em></span>.  Here is the overview of the most effective weight loss, abs sculpting program out there.</p>
<h1>Nutrition</h1>

<p>Nutrition is a tricky subject and I am not going to touch too much on this.  I am going to leave it to the experts.  One of the first things I learned from a personal trainer at my gym was that he could not tell me what to eat.  He could only share what was called common knowledge.  This is because it is against the law to tell someone what to eat if they do not have a degree and is certified.  So here is my common knowledge.  <span style="background-color: #ffff99; color: #000000;">Eat a well rounded diet with whole foods</span>.  Get in the habit of making your own meals.  Make sure that you eat unprocessed quality carbohydrates, enough protein and healthy fats.  The majority of the time you should eat slightly less then what you expend per day.  That way you will still have energy and lose weight.  Now before you say “That is ten seconds of my life that I will never get back”.  You can find out more specifics by <a title="Tight Abs Program" href="http://www.tightabsblog.com/TruthAboutAbs.html" target="_blank">reading the FAQs</a>.  There is also a place where you can download a calorie calculator for weight loss and muscle gain.</p>
<h1>High intense Cardio</h1>
<p><img src="http://www.tightabsblog.com/wp-includes/images/killer-abs-11.jpg" border="0" alt="killer abs" width="150" height="161" align="left" />We need to realize that our bodies were designed to perform <span style="background-color: #ffff99;">short burst of physical activity</span> followed by a recovery period.  You may think that you are just expending your carbohydrates and not burning fat.  Well think about this for a second.  How do you think that you are going to restore those carbohydrates?  You are going to restore them by having an <span style="background-color: #ffff99;">elevated metabolism for the next 4 to 6</span> hours.  In the long run you will burn more fat with interval training.  Square</p>

<p>You will have a more sculpted look.  <span style="background-color: #ffff99; color: #000000;">The fat will melt away</span> leaving firm <em><strong>tight abs</strong></em>.  Just look at any sprinter and compare them to a marathon runner.  The marathon runner looks thin, little definitions and sometimes almost sickly.  Now look at the sprinter.  They usually carry <span style="background-color: #ffff99; color: #000000;">a lean, powerful physique</span> with great definition.  Another factor to keep in mind is recent studies show that excessive endurance exercise increases free radicals in the body that can degenerate joints, reduce the immune function, and cause a pro-inflammatory response in the body that can potentially lead to chronic diseases.  On the other hand high intense variable training has been linked to increased anti-oxidant production and a <span style="background-color: #ffff99; color: #000000;">more efficient</span> nitric oxide response (encourages a healthy cardiovascular system).</p>
<h1>Strength Training Using Complex Movements</h1>
<div style="float: right; margin: 3px 3px 3px 3px;"><script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-8441845523841776";
/* 250x250, created 4/24/09 */

<p>Far too many times I have seen people who do their 45 minute cardio session and then 15 minutes of abs.  If you want results fast to need to strength train your whole body.  And the most efficient way to do this is using complex movements.  <span style="background-color: #ffff99;">Complex movements are an essntial key for rapid body fat loss.</span> A simple definition if a complex movement is an exercise that spans across multiple joints.  The opposite of a complex movement is an isolated movement.  Just focusing on the quadriceps by doing a leg extension would be an example of this.   A squat would be an example of a complex movement to strengthen the quadriceps.  The squat (complex movement) will yields better results because quadriceps will work in a kinetic chain with assisting muscle groups.  A full squat will work all of your leg muscles, all of your abs muscles and back.  Talk about a great exercise.  You will <span style="background-color: #ffff99; color: #000000;">burn more calories, increase your metabolic rate</span> and create muscle building hormones.  Just for your reference, one pound of lean muscle will burn an extra 35 to 50 calories a day just to maintain.</p>
<h1>Variability and Consistency</h1>
<p><img src="http://www.tightabsblog.com/wp-includes/images/olympics_2008_abs.jpg" border="0" alt="Great Abs" width="150" height="119" align="left" />You need to exercises consistently.  You also should stick with a routine for 4-8 weeks.  When you start a routine it will be new to your body and your body will have to adjust.  This is great and it will <span style="background-color: #ffff99;">maximize your weight loss and sculpt your body</span>.  It’s called periodization and it can do magical things.  This can also be called variable training.  Just like there is a certain variable training methods to gain muscle size there are variables training methods to maximize fat loss and <strong><em>tight abs</em></strong>.  The reason why you wait 4 to 8 weeks to change your program is you need a base to see improvement.  When you first start the training program the exercises may seem more difficult.  This is what <span style="background-color: #ffff99;">stimulates the body to yield greater results</span>.  After 4 to 8 weeks of training you probably will have smaller gains.  This means that your body has adapted to the new routine and it is time to change your program again.</p>

<p>There are many ways that you can <span style="background-color: #ffff99;">strategically modify your training variables</span> to assure that you maximize your fat loss and/or muscle building response to exercise. Most people only think about changing their sets and reps performed, if they even think about changing their routine at all. However, other variables that can dramatically affect your results are changing the order of exercises (sequence), exercise grouping (super-setting, circuit training, tri-sets, etc.), exercise type (multi-joint or single joint, free-weight or machine based), the number of exercises per workout, the amount of resistance, the time under tension, the base of stability (standing, seated, on stability ball, one-legged, etc.), the volume of work (sets x reps x distance moved), rest periods between sets, repetition speed, range of motion, exercise angle (inclined, flat, declined, bent over, upright, etc), training duration per workout, and training frequency per week. Sounds like a lot of different training aspects to consider in order to achieve the best results from your workouts, doesn’t it?</p>
<p>If you were confused by the above paragraph, do not worry about it.  I was when I started.  The good thing is that you <span style="background-color: #ffff99;">do not have to re-invent the wheel</span>.  You can do what is already tested and proven.  This means that you too can have the results that you always have wanted.  <a title="Tight Abs Program" href="http://www.tightabsblog.com/TruthAboutAbs.html" target="_blank">Click Here</a> and <span style="background-color: #ffff99;">get the <em><strong>internets top rated</strong></em> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">weight loss and abs sculpting program </span>now</span>.</p>
