How To Get A Six Pack - Lose Body Fat

By Jose Loni

The best method to getting a six pack is one that will melt your whole body fat not just abs. We are always seeing ads that claim great results with their ab machines or ab exercises. The most effective way is to train your metabolism by training with resistance and watching your diet - it will melt the fat off your whole body.

The many ab machines and exercises that we see in the media all work on the same principle, which is spot reduction. The fact is, spot reduction does not work. You can train the abs directly but it will only make it stronger and not necessarily give you more definition.

Let's keep it simple. To lose body fat, train the whole body by increasing the body's metabolism. Resistance exercises are the best ways to increase metabolism and burn more fat.

This type of training should be done at least 4 times during the week and require high intensity, and lower repetitions. The resistance workout will incorporate multiple body parts and muscle groups to really burn calories.

A sample exercise session can be doing squats, lunges, push-ups, chin-ups and step-ups (can be done with weights or not). Do these exercises intensely for 20 seconds each continuously, then stop for a short rest after the 5 exercises are completed. This series of exercises can be repeated for 5-6 times per session and done 3-4 times per week.

The great thing about this type of training is the body will work hard during the workout, but it also has residual effects and causes the body to work hard throughout the day burning fat and fueling muscle activity as the muscles are replenishing and repairing to prepare for the next bout of exercise.

Eating healthy meals also help the body burn more calories and prevent more calories from being stored as fat. The body is able to burn calories of complex carbohydrates and lean proteins better, while fatty foods, sodas and sugary snacks are so high in calories, that the excess calories are stored as fat on the body. Eating 5-6 times throughout the day will help keep the body's energy levels stable and help you watch the calories that you eat.

Getting six pack abs is about the whole body. Melt the whole body's fat and you will get the full effect of your training. Kick start the metabolism and rock hard abs can be achieved very fast! - 17269
