Dean Tressador asked: Ever found yourself with your hand on your belly, wondering what it would take to transform that belly into a set of rock hard abs? Often it’s easier just to dream. But sometimes. Sometimes its simpler just to put in the work, get it over with and get what you want….isn’t it? Sure it is. This article shows you how to get abs in a month!
When you press into your belly, and feel how spongy and soft it is, often you may feel disappointed until you remember you are not tensing your muscles. Relieved, you tense those abs hiding under a fleshy outer skin and sure enough there is a reasonably hard wall of muscle there. Cool.
But you look up at the TV and see a couple of fitness models and it strikes you quite plainly, that your hard abs and their hard abs LOOK different. It is little consolation to know you have abs just like they do. Virtually the same. But yours are hidden under some spongy flesh and theirs is defined and tight looking.
So defining this we realize something new. Abs are not about the actual muscles but the presentation. You have the same muscles as the fitness models but when you take your shirt off at the beach, no members of the opposite sex even pay attention. When the fitness model take their shirt off, everyone looks right?
What’s the difference? What’s the confusion? The difference is the quality, texture and thickness of the skin covering your abs and theirs. That area of skin on a fitness models abs is thin, supple and taught across their abs. Yours may be loose, flabby and thick filled with engorged fat cells.
It is this area of skin you must work on and not the actual muscles underneath!
So this is what is required to get abs looking good. If you follow these steps diligently, you should have a nice looking set of abs.
Limiting your calorie intake for just 30 days, then all there is left to do is maintenance. You really can eat what you like thereafter, as long as you keep an eye on your weight gains, and if you inadvertently ad a pound or two, you can drop it in a few days. That is a lot easier than dieting for a month!
Walk 1 hour every day. Believe me this burns calories like crazy. Walking along with limiting your calorie intake is a powerful way to make the skin thinner around your abs. If you limit your calories to only say, 1200 a day for 30 days only, you will have a nice lean set of abs (depending on your starting weight of course)
Finally, in the final stage, your tummy is slim, now I am going to ask you to eat more than your required calorie intake for a week after the 30 days. Muscle doesn’t grow unless it is fed protein. You can do 1000 sit ups, but the muscles will not respond in size and definition unless they get the building blocks of muscle fiber which are amino acids. Which are found in protein. For that week, eat lots of protein and build up to 100 sit ups a day.
A final note. Weighing your self is useless. When your muscles grow you actually put on weight. Also you weigh water and other things that really makes weighing yourself futile. If you are serious about charting your progress, you must get a set of calipers, and pinch test specific fat areas every day. This is the most accurate way to see whats really happening.
