Ok so I want to talk about the best 3 ways to get your abdominalmuscles showing and revealing that toned and defined six pack.Â
So here we go;-
1. Stop Doing Sit-ups, Crunches, Leg Raises and other ab workouts!
The thing is doing all these exercises and only focusing on yourab muscle will not really give you any results. The reason for thisis that to have your abs showing your body fat percentage needs to be around 6-10%. If it is great then carry on doing ab exercises toreally define and tone them but there is more you can do.
If your body fat percentage is say 15% or above and you can normallyfind this out at any gym or leisure centre then doing ab workouts iseffectively building muscle underneath the fat on your tummy. Whichwill then increase the size of your tummy because the muscles arepushing it out. Not the desired effect right ?
There are exercises you can do to build muscle that will help. Likesquats, dead-lifts, chin ups, pull ups and exercises like the plank& side plank. These are more effective as you use more muscle groupsdoing them. So they will work your abdominal muscles along with others which will build a stronger body that works together. It alsomeans the fat can be turned into muscle easier!
2. Doing the right cardio to burn that fat off!
Ok so you want to get your body fat percentage down to about 6-10%.Let me tell you doing hours upon hours of treadmill running at thesame pace will not burn the fat as effectively as you could.
What you want to incorporate into your routine is stop and gomovements. This is a much more effective way to train and burn fat, and it's not as boring! So this involves doing quick exertions of high intensity followed by a recovery period. A minute of running and then a minute and a half walking is an example of this. Doing thissimple example for 20-30 minutes repeatedly is a very intensiveworkout that will burn the fat off much quicker.
3. Eat the RIGHT fats and cut out the WRONG fats!
Eating the right fats can actually help you burn body fat off. Let metell you this though if you love your fast foods you need to cut themout to lose the weight and for your health benefit. Avoid any foodswith hydrogenated fats in them or if they have been fired in refinedoils. These will normally show up in the ingredients of foods labelledhealthy! But don't be fooled by this stay clear.
Here's some of the good fats you've probably been told to avoid butare actually so good for you! Extra Virgin Oil, Dark Chocolate (70%-80% cocoa content), Avocados or Guacamole, High Fat Fish - WildSalmon, Sardines, Mackerel, Herring, Trout, All Natural Nuts, Seeds and real butter.
I hope this information helps, try it out and get them abs showing!
