Get Six Pack Abs By Fine Tuning Your Flat Stomach Exercises.

Okay, you are doing aerobics daily or every other day. You are serious doing your flat stomach exercises, following a moderate calorie, high protein, low fat, low sugar abs diet. All these things should speed up you metabolic rate and help you lose fat. Now lets build those six pack abs.

I have always felt that flat stomach exercises should be brief but intense, and for this reason I favor supersets, trisets and especially giant sets. If you pick three abs exercises and do them as a giant set, for 2 to 4 cycles, you can flatten your stomach and get a very intense abdominal workout in less than 15 minutes per day. Choose any three of these stomach exercises on my exercises for abs. I recommend chosing 2 upper and 1 lower belly exercise.

Here Are Some Rules To Follow:

2. Don't madly rush through the set of flat stomach exercises. Do each rep slowly, and get a hard contraction. Pause in the fully contracted position for a count of two. Really squeeze and tense the abs hard each rep. Remember that 20 good reps are better than 50 sloppy ones.

3. When doing giants sets (three or four different flat belly exercises in a row), take no rest between stomach exercises at all. Do them consecutively. Then take one minute between giant sets just to catch your breath. Your ab workout should be an aerobic affair - you should be sweating and breathing fairly heavily.

4. Train with intensity. You should get a deep ache and a burn in the abs each set and giant set. If you are not feeling the belly, you are involving the lower back, hip flexors and ilopsoas too much. Take each set to failure. When further strict reps are not possible, you may continue with a few loose reps or burns at the end of a set if you wish.

5. Keep a training diary and record your reps each workout. Try to beat the number of reps you did the previous abs workout, if only by one rep each set. Over time you will amaze yourself with your improvement.

6. Unless you have a tiny waist, never train your waist with weights. Doing so will build and thicken your midsection, which is the last thing you want. The only abdominal exercises which can be done with weights are hypertensions (for lower back) and knee ins (hold a 5 or 10 pound dumbell between your feet). The others should be done with your bodyweight only. For more on weighted VS non-weighted visit male abs.

7. Wearing a neoprene belt under your sweat clothes will enhance sweating and help you lose water and bloat from around your stomach. The neoprene belt can make a small but definite improvement in your ab workout.

The main points are these: Train with intensity, keep tension on the abs throughout each flat stomach exercises, and get a contraction on each rep. If you do, you will get good results.

How often should you perform ab work? I think every other day is about right. Since most workouts do not require special equipment, you may want to perform your ab routine at home.

If you really want to specialize on abs, try using an ab routine six days per week, followed by every other day the second week. This allows you to work the stomach very intensely, while still giving it enough rest and recuperation.

Heres a tip that can actually help reduce the size of your belly. Do "vacuums" several times a day. You can do them while driving your car, sitting at your desk, working on your computer, watching TV, virtually any time. Simply suck in your waist to the max, as if you were trying to touch your belly button to your spine. Hold for a count of 10 to 15 and repeat as often as you desire. Several minutes of vacuums a day, along with your aerobics, your low fat diet and intense flat stomach exercises will greatly increase your chances of getting the kind of slim waistline your want.

Give yourself a goal to shoot for when trying to improve your waist. Your goal should be small but meaningful and definitely within reach. For example, you might say "I'm going to lose 1/4 inch off my waist in the next month." That may not seem like much, but if you can do that four times, it will be one whole inch off your stomach. Now that's substantial.

Is there any magic number to shoot for that will tell you when you have good abs? No, of course not. Always go to the mirror. When you see clear ridge, without tensing, you know you have six pack abs.

Ab training is hard work. It isn't as fun as training arms or pecs, but once you start to see results you won't mind training them as much, especially when people start commenting on how good your abs look. So keep up the flat stomach exercises and don't give up until you have the abs you want.
