In 3 Easy Steps - How to Get a Six Pack Quickly

Muscular strength is primarily determined by one thing: 1. How forcefully can a muscle contract. The force with which a muscle can contract is determined by two things: 1. How large is the muscle 2. How efficiently can the body contract the muscle

Exercise Right If you really wish to get six pack abs, you would first of all have to get over the myth that only ab exercises can be of help in your pursuit. An effective strategy instead is to include weight training as a major part of your regime. Increase the cardio workouts and go slow with the core exercises.

This would benefit on two levels: first, adequate attention would be paid to fat loss while strengthening the midsection at the same time and second, you would have to spend lesser time on exercising overall.

Depending on your goal, you would use the corresponding formula. For example, I weigh about 200 pounds. If my goal was fat loss, I would consume 2400-2600 calories a day. If my goal was to maintain my weight, I would consume 3000-3200 calories per day. If I wanted to gain weight, I would eat 3600-3800 calories per day. Finding BMR is obviously more complex than this, and there are many factors that determine your BMR. This is good for a ballpark estimate, though.

So even if you are enthusiastic about your workouts, do not overdo them as that would bring harm. Understand that the results would not come overnight and if you know of the right exercises to do, even 2-3 hours of workout in an entire week would reap the desired results in as little as 3 months.

Ensure The Right Nutrition For The System All weight loss efforts ultimately boil down to the right nutrition. Remember that the actual six pack abs can be achieved in the kitchen and not in the gym. So eat right to create a calorie deficit within and weight loss would follow on its own. Watch your calorie intake and eat nutritious foods. Cut down on trans-fats intake, avoid bad carbohydrates and maintain a healthy distance from fast foods. Instead switch over to healthy fresh fruits and veggies, and keep the system hydrated at all times. Consuming whole grains like oats, barley and nuts, green tea, eggs, lean meats etc. would also help. Make sure that you keep the above things in mind while chalking out your six pack abs regime. However, if you need some concrete well chalked out plans and methods for the same, I would suggest that you read through the below mentioned resource for an all-inclusive fat loss and body toning guide.
