Best Abs Workout Routines: Super Fast Method to Six Pack Abs

By Lynn Howard

Somehow somewhere a myth was developed about how to develop six pack abs. You can NOT burn fat away from only your midsection to reveal your abdominal muscles. It doesn't matter how many crunches you do, you will not be able to see your abdominal muscles. This is the trap many of us have fallen into. With all the ab machines advertised on TV its no wonder people have the misconception that doing crunches equals a nice ripped midsection. Here are the keys you will need to build the best ab workout ever.

NUTRITION PHASE: Your diet may be the most important part of your fitness plan to develop six pack abs. Forgetting to focus on proper nutrition is like trying to drive your car with 3 tires you wont ever reach your destination. Some nutritional components you must consider.

High Metabolism: Consider your metabolism a burning fire. If you'd like to keep that fire burning hot you must constantly put dry firewood in it often. The same is true for your metabolism. Eating 5 -6 smaller meals a day will keep your metabolism burning hot AND burning calories. Many of us are guilty of the worst nutritional sin, skipping breakfast. Breakfast is actually the most important meal for the day. Its like lighting the fire that will keep you warm the rest of the night, if you don't get that right nothing else matters that much.

High Protein: Eating lean protein can not be stressed enough. Since you know that keeping your blood sugar even will reduce your cravings for sugar eating a lean protein will slow your digestion and smooth out your blood sugar levels. Protein is also vital in rebuilding muscle tissue.

Lots of Water: We need water to survive and flush out all the toxins in the body. Keeping well hydrated is also essential to being consistent with your workouts. Drink 8 cups a day for optimal health.

Fiber: Think of fiber as lubricant to your digestive tract. Keeping high amounts of fiber in your stomach keeps food moving quickly through your digestive and intestinal tract which will keep you in overall good health.

WORKOUT PHASE: Cardiovascular exercise is very important to any fat burning/ ab building program. Keeping your workouts short and intense is the key to melting the fat off your body. An example of an intense but short workout is to do intervals of 30 seconds of sprinting followed by 1 minute of easy. Do 5-10 of these intervals depending on your starting fitness level. The nice thing about interval training is that it can be done in the pool, on a bike or running.

Weights - Lifting heavy is probably the best kept secret when it comes to fat burning. Because muscle burns much more calories at rest than fat, increasing your lean muscle mass is the best way to melt the fat off your body. This will also begin to give you the tone look that goes hand in hand with a nice set of six pack abs. - 17269
