The 7 Step Plan To Get Sexy Six Pack Abs In 21 Days
Trying to get those sexy six pack abs? In this article, I'm going to give you the 7 step plan to get sexy six pack abs in 21 days.
Step 1:
Are you ready? Are you willing to commit and never quit? If not, do not read on. In order to get six pack abs, a lean muscular body, and lose weight, you must be willing to commit...for life, not just a few days, weeks, or months. That is the first step to losing weight, improving your health and getting a great body. Ever so often do we all speak about something we want to accomplish, but never do what it takes to succeed.
Step 2:
Water. You have to drink plenty of water if you want to form your body into a lean, muscular, fat-less sculpture with ripped six pack abs. Your body needs water to build lean muscle and burn fat. Drink ice cold water as an added benefit since your body will burn fat to warm the water to body temperature.
Step 3:
Sleep. Getting 7-9 hours of sleep EVERY night is very important for not just burning off fat and losing weight, but also your overall health. I know most of us want to see that favorite TV show/movie, etc., which is more than likely the #1 reason people do not go to bed at a reasonable time, but you're going to have to weigh your options here: watch The Late Night Show or Get a Sexy Beach Body??
Step 4:
Weight Training. Cardio alone is not going to do it. You can not burn fat, lose weight, and sculpt a lean body by simply just doing cardio. You have to do some form of weight training. Building muscle will give your metabolism a rocket boost. Make sure that within 15 - 30 minutes after your workout, you have some form of protein to help in restoring your worked muscles.
Step 5:
Rest. I'm not talking about sleep here. I'm talking about resting your body after weight training. Over working your muscles will do more damage than good. The way I workout is that I work a specific body part on each day, therefore giving that particular muscle a full 7 days rest. For example: On Mondays, I work my legs, on Tuesday, I work my shoulders, on Wednesday, I work my back, on Thursday, I work my arms, and on Friday, I work my chest.
Step 6:
Eat a lot. Did I catch you off guard? What I mean is to eat several small meals through out the day instead of the usual 3 course. Doing this will increase your metabolism, which will ultimately lead to burning off a lot of fat, and ultimately sculpt those sexy six pack abs you want. Make sure that the foods you eat are nutrient rich, high in fiber, and high in protein.
Step 7:
The obvious and most popular step - do ab exercises. Although this is the most popular step, it's also the most mis-understood. Why? Well, most think that by simply just doing this step will burn off belly fat and get you those killer abs. Sorry. You must do the previous steps along with step 7 in order to really reap the reward...sexy six pack abs. There are billions of different machines, etc. out there promising hot six pack abs. Doing traditional exercises, from my own and other peoples research, will sculpt six pack abs faster than any device. It's simple. Crunches, side crunches, leg raises....it doesn't get any more simple than that. However, the one misconception, which ultimately leads to lack of results, is quantity. Just by doing a lot of crunches doesn't necessarily mean you'll get killer abs. The way you will sculpt abs quickly is by doing slow concentrated (squeeze your abdominal muscles at the positive point of the repetition - which is when you lift up) repetitions (reps).

Fitness Is Easy - When You Make It Simple
A primary school in Scotland tried an experiment. What if - instead of formal sports - we just took the kids out for a 1 mile run around the school grounds?
Well, it has become a phenomenal success - such that at a recent school health check, not one child in the selected age group was overweight or obese. This compares to typical UK figures of 67% of children overweight or obese.
So what is the secret?
Simple - keep it simple!
The school made is simple and fun and crucially, a daily exercise for everyone.
So, how can we apply this to ourselves?
Well, top of the list, how about turning your twice or thrice weekly trips to the gym into short, quick jogs - in the clothes that you are wearing!
That's right, no lycra,
no dressing up, no looking at yourself in the mirror - just in what you are wearing - and do it now. The school children didn't even change their shoes - they just went out in whatever they were wearing.
But also...
Do it with friends or companions. The school is naturally social - so, if you work from home, find someone to go with - or better still, a group. Set a time - 11am or 7am or 6pm - whatever suits your lifestyle and go every day.
If you work in an office - how about getting a group of co-workers to come with you? Remember, it is only 1 mile - that is about 10 minutes to run slowly and 15 minutes if you want to walk half the distance.
The simple step of making that decision - and it is not a big fitness decision - is what makes the difference between becoming overweight or obese or getting fit and trim.
The headteacher who set up this scheme spoke on the UK's Radio 4 programme and said 'the children come into school with apple coloured cheeks and full of vitality - just like children from the 1950s'.
The point is this - all children - not just a select few - and yes, some children run more than others and some walk some of the way - but it is non competitive - it is just fun.
Simple and fun, that is. And that is the secret to losing weight and feeling great - keep it fun, light and easy to do.
