If you've ever spent any amount of time in front of the TV after the infomercials come on (that is, after midnight), no doubt you see that a lot of those commercials are promoting ab related products. You'll see diets, pills, machines, and exercise workouts that promise to give you those sixpack abs you've always wanted. There's no shortage of people who want to sell you a way to do it, but do any of them actually work?
In fact, most of these fads don't last. They're exposed for the fakes they are and people go onto the next "quick fix" or "breakthrough invention" that's going to give them the abs they want without much work. But if most of these fail, is there a way to truly get flat abs? Can you, really, get flat abs if you don't have them now?
Yes, you can get sixpack abs, but the simple fact is, you're going to need to use an approach that's been around for a long, long time. As hard as it may be to hear, you can't get sixpack abs quickly and easily. Instead, you have to adopt a healthy diet and you have to exercise.
In other words, there's no way to simply take a shortcut on this. It's true that you can probably drop a few pounds very quickly, but the weight is going to come back on just as quickly as it came off -- and you might damage your health, too.
Now that we know you're going to have to exercise, what types of exercises should you do? Should you just get on the ground and start doing thousands of crunches? Will this give you the six-pack of your dreams? Actually it won't do much at first.
Right now, your ab muscles are probably covered up by a layer of what could best be called "padding," or in other words, fat. So if you want to see your abs, you're going to have to get rid of the fat. How do you do that?
A lot of people think that they have to get on the treadmill and do cardio for hours at a time. However, this isn't true, either. In fact, the best way to burn fat quickly is by doing interval and weight training.
With weight training, you burn calories quickly while you work out, but you're building muscle, so you're going to burn calories when you rest as well. As muscles begin to develop, they're going to be burning extra calories, like little incinerators, so that they can keep rebuilding themselves. This will speed up your fat burning capacity, which in turn will decrease the amount of time it takes to burn a certain amount of fat off. Besides weight lifting or weight training, you can also do short bursts of sprinting-type workouts thrown in there, too.
And of course, you should also try to eat healthier. If you're always sitting on the couch, drinking beer and eating nachos, you're not going to get that sixpack.
Instead, if you want different results, you're going to have to do something different. To get that sixpack, change what you put in your mouth. Eat healthy foods and drink water. Put good fuel into your body, in other words, and it will perform for you and give you what you want.
Simply, most people can obtain a sixpack if that's what they want, but the mistake comes if you think it's going to be easy. You're not going to wake up tomorrow morning with a sixpack. Instead, it's a long process, depending on how much weight you have to lose to begin with. However, you can do it if you just stay with it.
