Start Your 6 Pack Abs Workout In The Kitchen

By Jace P. Andersen

There are basically two types of males - those with a six pack and those without those alluring clump of muscles lining their stomachs. These two groups also live different lives as the guys that stick to their 6 pack abs workout routine spend most of their time shirtless and the others stay fully dressed.

Ever since the first images of men with six packs appeared, this type of body has become the iconic male build. Ask any guy who sports these sexy muscles and they will tell you that the secret to a 6 pack starts in the kitchen and not in the gym. How could this be you may ask?

To prove this point, one must only pinch the skin on your belly. A thick layer of fat will hide any muscle that lies underneath it, no matter how well developed. Pinch a guy with a six pack and all you feel between your fingers is skin - zero fat. You may be exercising like a dog, but those fat layers will keep all your hard work invisible.

For a 6 pack to show, the body fat percentage in your stomach area must be as close to zero as possible. In order to achieve this, you simply have to stick to a very strict diet as a way of eating. As soon as you deviate from this routine, your stomach will loose its cutting edge look almost overnight.

There are millions of eating plans that state success for 6 pack builders and you may choose any of them, but make sure that the basic components meet these criteria. Eat six meals a day at constant intervals. Smaller meals that is, not six full meals! Each meal should contain certain food groups and in certain percentages.

Serving sizes on your plate can be calculated from your body measurements. Protein servings must be able to fit into the palm of your hand, whilst vegetables portions resemble your fisted hand. Add carbohydrates for energy; sizing these up to a quarter of the protein serving and your plate is set.

Eat your meals at the same time every day as this will actually accelerate your metabolism. Combine this eating plan with some aerobic exercise to loose any fat deposited on your stomach. Now follows those lovely crunches.

Abs are trained by crunches - an exercise that sees you lift your chest from the floor placing strain on the abs and after keeping the stretch for a while, you do a reverse crunch by slowly returning to the starting position. Repeat this exercise until you can not do a single crunch - a state called total exhaustion.

What you are actually doing is ripping the micro fibers inside your muscles apart. They then grow back with a vengeance - stronger and larger in volume, so the whole muscle expands. As a newcomer to exercise you may find crunches quite hard to do; use the gimmick crunch machines shown on TV to train your body into this exercise; before you know it you are strong enough to do crunches all on your own.

Eat right and throw away your TV remote and you are on your way to that alluring look that makes women swoon. - 17269
