How to Get Six Pack Abs? Change Everything!

Thomas Leroy asked:

Every one wants a six pack abs. Being lean and ripped looks cool and if you have tried to be more muscular, you may are still struggling to get a six pack, while you see your other muscles grow. There is a concept that you need to know : Not seeing your abs doesn’t mean you have no abs”. The question is : do you want to see your abs or do you want bigger abs ?

Actually, if you have been training your abs for some time now, and I mean doing the right abs specific exercises, then your abs are certainly big and strong enough. You could even see them if there was not a layer of fat covering them.

No matter how much crunches, sit ups, leg raises you can perform in your entire workout, or even in your full week, as long as you have some fat covering your abs nobody will be able to see them. I’m not saying that abs exercises are worthless, but they don’t burn much fat. However, you have trained your abs hard that now you are ready to focus on other exercises that really burn fat. You need to challenge your whole body so your metabolism needs to speed up to recover from all your efforts. If you can keep your metabolic rate elevated for 24 to 48 hours, you will burn fat many more times than with low intensity workouts.

So how to get a six pack abs ? Here are some common thoughts :

I need some cardio sessions, like running for 30-60 minutes 5 times a week. Wrong. Yes you can perform cardio, but not the long and boring way you are used too. If your body is not challenged, then there is no change. Cardio sessions like these burn fat only when performed, but when you stop, your metabolism gets back to slow motion.

Do I need some advanced abs exercises, or do even more abs specific exercises ? Absolutely Not ! Exercising your abs until failure make your abs muscles burn, and strengthen them, but doesn’t burn fat. Muscle gain and fat burning are two different processes. Of course they are related because exercising helps both of these processes.

So what should you do to get a six pack abs ?

You should focus on putting your metabolic rate at a higher level, and keeping it high, even when you are not exercising. It’s not that hard but it’s not with abs exercises that it will happen. You need to perform exercises that don’t isolate abs but are more challenging to your whole body. Of course you also need to change your diet for better nutrition, and no, that doesn’t involve taking any supplement or fat burner of any kind.
