Want 6 Pack Abs Fast? This Is What You Need To Know

Monday, January 26th, 2009

There are plenty of people out there who can tell you how to get 6 pack abs fast, but most of them are people who either have way too much time to workout and prepare their meals, have genes that would rival a pro bodybuilder, or take some kind of steroid. In this article you’re going to learn the truth about building 6 pack abs fast as well as some common myths that you absolutely must know if you ever want to sculpt a great looking set of abs.

The first thing you might find interesting is that girls actually like a guy with flat, defined abs over a guy that’s completely ripped to shreds and has ever muscle in his body showing.

So if you’re going crazy over trying to get 6 pack abs fast, calm down because odds are, the girl(s) you’re trying to impress don’t care as much as you think!

By the way if you’re curious about exactly why girls don’t need a girl with ripped to shreds abs, it’s because they realize that guy will most likely spend most of his time in the gym and worrying too much about how he looks instead of paying attention to her.

Anyway, here are a few great tips if you want 6 pack abs fast or if you simply want to sculpt a nice looking set of defined abs that anybody would appreciate.

1) High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) Is King – If you want to get 6 pack abs fast you’re almost definitely going to have to lose weight because you can’t see your abs until your body fat is low enough. And if you’re losing weight, you don’t want to lose muscle do you? By incorporating HIIT into your workout program you’re guaranteed to save more muscle and even release more muscle-building hormones throughout your body.

2) Start Fasting – Fasting has gotten a horrible wrap in the industry but it’s all based on lies. Fasting for 24 hours has been scientifically proven, time and time again, to not only be one of the easiest ways to lose bodyfat but to do so without losing muscle (there’s a scientific reason why you don’t lose muscle) or slowing your metabolism. It’s a little tough the first 2-3 times you try it, but after awhile it gets very easy, trust me!

3) Mix Up Your Workouts – By mixing up both your weightlifting as well as your cardio workouts, you put your body through something called “muscle confusion”. Simply stated, your muscles will never know what’s hitting them and by putting them through a confused workout a few times in a row they’ll start working even harder to keep up – causing your metabolism to rise which ultimately causes fat loss.

If you do these 3 things, you’re guaranteed to start losing weight faster and get 6 pack abs fast and much easier than ever before.

However don’t go crazy over how your abs look because as I mentioned earlier, even if you want 6 pack abs fast doesn’t mean that the people you’re trying to impress want you to have them!

Why You Don’t Need To Know 100 Weight Loss Tips To Lose Weight

Friday, January 23rd, 2009

Do you think it’s necessary to read about and understand 100 or more weight loss tips in order for you to lose weight? Well, think again because that’s not the truth!

The media has brainwashed us into thinking we need to know all kinds of different ways to lose weight, sometimes even making us think we need to know 100 weight loss tips before we can even start thinking about putting them into practice.

But I’m here today to tell you that you DON’T need to learn dozens or hundreds of ways to lose weight.

However I do recommend learning at least a dozen or so. That way you can put all of them together and create a weight loss plan that works for you.

So let me tell you 5 building blocks to weight loss success to get you started:

1) Eat More Protein – By eating more protein, you’ll unlock the thermogenesis effect. To put it simply, different foods take more energy to burn off inside your body. For example, you burn off roughly 30% of the calories from protein, around 20% or a little less from carbohydrates (depending on the source), and only around 3-5% for fats.

2) Add High Intensity Interval Training – known as HIIT, this type of training creates a process in your body called EPOC (Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption). Put simply, when you do this type of exercising it forces your body to work harder after you’re done exercising which causes you to burn more calories for up to 48% longer. Plus, it’s A LOT more fun than the traditional long, slow, boring cardio like jogging.

3) Drink More Water – This may seem like a very common sense weight loss tip, but it’s one that very few people follow. The average person consumes roughly 30% of their calories from liquids (i.e. soda, alcohol, fruit juices, etc.). If you simply stop drinking all that stuff, you can reduce your caloric intake by about 30%, depending on how much of it you currently drink. Out of 100 weight loss tips, or even more, this is by the easiest way to lose weight.

4) Mix It Up – Instead of doing the same workout over and over, trying mixing it up once in awhile. If you’re currently doing bodyweight exercises, start lifting with weights. If you mix up your workouts once in awhile it creates what’s known as “muscle confusion” and causes your body to burn more energy by trying to compensate for the difference in muscle stimulation. There are many different ways to exercise, I suggest finding more of my articles and looking though them to see if you can find something you think you’d like to do!

5) Track What You Eat – Let me be honest about something. I don’t personally do this. However, I used to and I still recommend others do it. Why? Because until you start tracking what you eat, you don’t notice how much you’re actually eating. Most people underestimate what they eat by roughly 30% or so. Just think of how much weight you’ll be able to lose when you know exactly how many calories are going in your mouth. What I recommend is tracking what you eat for a few weeks just to notice your “habits”. After that you can keep tracking or not, depending on your lifestyle. Some people can lose weight fine without tracking what they eat, others absolutely depend on keeping track of their calories just to be sure. It’s up to you!

If you add these 5 tips into your life, you don’t have to worry about reading 100 weight loss tips and trying to remember them all. Just stick to the basics, use some common sense, be honest with yourself about how much you’re working out and how much you’re eating, follow these weight loss tips, and the rest will come naturally.
