The Smart Idiot's's Guide To Hard Abs

By Tommie Dixon

A very hard "six pack" is something that many men and some woman would love to have, but is a washboard stomach as sported by the likes of Brad Pitt, David Beck ham, the dude in that film 300 and Mr fifty Cent himself realistically attainable for the non-professional athlete, actor and rappers of this world? Can the uncountable millions of evolving Homer Simpson clones out there in Average Land ever hope to disrobe with gleeful pride at the beach?

The good news is that there is real hope. A "six pack" is certainly and absolutely achievable for us the mere mortal masses, not assess, provided a few very basic guidelines are followed and implemented. The not so bad news ,however, is that it will take simply a teeny-weeny bit of effort and discipline to make it happen, but YES, it is one hundred percent doable for the slightly podgy average man on the street ; we may have that "six pack"!

This is what you've got to do to get a flat, sexy stomach.

(1) Eat less

(2) Do more

(3) Stomach Crunch

If you are an average man, it might be useful to cut your daily calorific consumption from 2500 to 2k k cal, while if you're a beautifully average girl, it would be helpful to cut your calorie intake from roughly two thousand to 1500 k cal. This is the eat less bit.

Next, run, walk, swim, jump, skip or cycle for 30-45 minutes every day ; get that heart rate up and take pleasure in those falling sweat beads. Note, cardiovascular exercise is the real key to killers "abs". It burns fat from all over the body and it is because of this drop in overall fat mass that trunk muscles start to show in that "ripped" six-pack way. It is easier to look toned and muscular when you're leaner and less wobbly!

Ultimately, integrate stomach crunches into your exciting new lifestyle . For lower abdomens, from your belly button down, lie horizontal on your back, preferably on an exercise mat, and place your hands behind your, well, behind, so that your back is nice and straight and supported ; bring your knees up towards your chest area, hold and slowly lumbar region down till your feet touch the mat. Do this twenty times in sets of four, resting for a couple of minutes in-between.
