Six Pack Abs - Get Six Pack Abs And You Will Have A Rare Possession

Why Are Six Pack Abs So Rare?

A shredded middle section is a rare thing people possess these days. You may see lots of models and actors in magazines and movies with a six pack, but you don't often see a regular man or woman with a six pack walking around.

Most people after awhile give up on their efforts to get a six pack. They believe that it is something only movie stars or super models should have. I'm telling you to drop that way of thinking!

Lifting a Large Amount of Weights is Not As Impressive as Toned Abs

There are many more guys who can bench 315 pounds, than there are guys with a defined midsection. Lots of women can go jogging over 6 miles, but not many women have a 6 pack abs.

If you desire to be exceptional, then you should aim to get a six pack abs. If you are already spending time in the gym trying  and you don't have a 6 pack, then you are spending your time doing the wrong things.

You will need to change your focus if you want nice muscle tone in this part of your body.

When Your Abs Are Defined, Your Whole Body Will Look Great

When losing body fat stomach fat is usually the last to go. If you reach the point where your abs are visible, then I guarantee you that the rest of your body will look great as well.

I think this is the reason that people find a toned midsection so sexy. They are aware that the rest of the body must be toned as well! So if you focus on getting a 6 pack, everything else will fall into place.

Getting a Six Pack is Mainly About Diet and Cardio

I promise you that you could leave out all those crunching and sit up movements and get amazing abs. How do I know this?

Well, I haven't done a crunch in over 5 years and my abs are more defined then ever. Have you ever seen the TV show "Survivor".

By the end of the show almost every person has really defined six pack abs and I know that none of them got there by ab exercises. You do not have to go to that extreme, but it does show you that low body fat will give you a six pack.

Ab Exercises Probably Account for Only 10% of the Results

I don't think you need to directly workout the abdominal area to get a great six pack, but if you want pick one and hit it for 4-5 sets.

The majority of your time should be spent on a bit of lifting for the rest of your body and intense cardio. As far as choices of cardio go, running on a treadmill or running outside is the way to go.

Your abs work harder with running, because there is a certain amount of balancing involves between your legs and upper body. If you are on an exercise bike, your abs don't have to work at all. Your body is being stabilized by the seat.

Conclusion: You probably just need to increase the cardio and decrease the calories if you don't have six pack abs. I know it sounds almost too simple, but believe me it will work for you.
