Building that Muscle - Abs

A great six pack is the most sought after thing in the bodybuilding world, at least if the sheer amount of questions asked about 'how to get a six pack' are to be counted. Unfortunately most of these questions are also suffixed with the words 'fast' or 'quick', when the reality is that there is no quick fix solution for developing a visible six pack. It takes dedication and work, and if you're not careful you will lose motivation. For those who are willing to work and put the effort required into developing their abs, read on.

Do not believe claims of 'miracle' diets or 'secrets' behind getting a six pack in a week, or some such outrageous claims! Remember, if it sounds to good to be true, it probably is.

The truth is that most people have already have abdominal muscles, or at least they should have if everything is functioning probably. However, in most cases the layer of fat around you stomach will cover them and conceal whatever six pack you have. The key is to lose the weight!

A two track attack will work best, combining aerobic exercise with weight training. Muscles will help as they help raise your metabolic rate. The more muscles you have, the better your ability at burning that fat.

Combine this with aerobic exercise, running, an exercise bike, or even dancing. An idea is to chose 3 days on which to do weight training and 3 days on which to do aerobic, and alternate between the two, giving yourself one 'rest day' each week'.

To enhance the look of your six pack, throw some stomach crunches, and other ab exercises into the mix.

Stick to the plan, stay motivated and eat healthy, and you WILL get the six pack you want!
