Get Six Pack Abs in 5 Steps

Tony Leong

If you are looking for a way to get six pack abs there are many easy ways to get started. Remember that to do this it will take time but the rewards will be worth the time and energy.
Let's face it. Both men and women love to have their Abs looking beautiful. Whether you are in bodybuilding or not, having an attractive body attracts more people to you and you feel great. A great looking body is a bonus to your self-esteem and you generate a glow about you that makes people want to know more about you.
In order to get your body looking the way you want it all you have to do is sculpt your body in specific ways. Here are 5 steps to help you get that six-pack abs:
1. Take a look at what you eat -- eat a diet that is rich in fruits and vegetables and eat small meals rather than larger ones. You can eat vegetables, pasta and meats but make sure they are in the same proportion. As an example, you might eat 1/3 vegetable, 1/3 meat and 1/3 pasta at a serving
2. Concentrate on body fat -- to get your abs looking great you will need to shed your body fat. You can make sure you eat well, then do a combination of weight training and cardio training each week. A good rule of thumb is to do weight training 3 days and cardio the other 4 days.
3. Drink water -- you want to keep your body hydrated during the time you are working it and when you drink more water, you have less water retention and have a better start towards those six pack abs.
4. Rest -- you need to make sure that you get rest during the day. Short naps are great or however you don't have to lie down and sleep. You just want to take time to do something restful. It keeps stress away.
5. Be consistent -- when you start working on your program make sure to schedule it into your regular routine. If you are inconsistent with your process you will not make the headway that you want.
You might think that doing crunches or sit-ups are the best way to make your abs look better. That was the way that people thought years ago but today this simply isn't true. It is better to work the entire body because it will promote a total body sculpting so your body will be in proportion.
Another good way to help you form that six-pack abs is to make sure you are burning enough calories when working on your abs is to do interval training. This means you might start on a treadmill and run for a short time then quickly go into walking. Combined with dead lifts or plank exercises will give you a total workout.
Practice of course makes perfect and the more you work and anything you do will require a lifestyle change. If you change your routine even a little to start, you will be well on your way to achieving your goal.
