How do you get real six packs?

First and foremost, stay away from any ab machine you see on TV as they are simply a waste of money and barely effective.\n\nThe abdominal muscles work just like any other muscle and have to be challenged as such. If you want muscular abdominals, you have to challenge them with resistance and good form just like you would your chest, your back or any other muscle for that matter. Targeting the correct energy system is imperative. This means you should never enter into the aerobic phase of this exercise, ideally keeping it under 2 minutes at most. \n\nThink of rolling a carpet and contracting fully on the top of the movement and squeeze. If you do them correctly, you shouldn't be able to do more than 30 crunches. Any more than that, and you're probably doing them half-azz, incorrectly or with a partial range of motion.\n\nFor the upper abs, focus on crunches which effectively work the abdominals better than sit-ups or any machine on the market.\n\nFor the lower abs, keep in mind there is very little muscle tissue there so decreasing levels of body fat is the most effective way to bring out the best in this area. Hanging leg raises, v-situps and reverse curls are among some of the best exercise for this region. Always make sure your pelvis curls up to maximize lower abdominal contraction during these exercises.\n\nAs far as fat loss and getting ripped goes, cardio, cardio, cardio. Abdominal exercises alone will never burn fat from your abdominal area. You must do cardiovascular exercise to accomplish this. Cardio is best in the morning, on an empty stomach at about 70-80% of your maximum heart rate for about 30-45 minutes. This combined with a common sense diet will quickly shed body fat so you can actually see those abs you've developed. \n\nI would encourage you to seek the advice and guidance of a personal trainer in your area for further education on these principles. Please ensure you start off at a very basic level for crunches and cardio if you are a beginner.\n\nHere's a good list of ab exercises:\nhttp://www.preventdisease.com/fitness/Strength_Exercises_abdominals.html \n\n.\n.

Most experts agree much more than two pounds a week after the first week(you will lose water weight in the first week as well as fat), is too much. You are far more likely to gain it back. Your best bet for a six pack is obviously work your abs and lower back, but you are also going to have to do other exercises, some form of strength training is key to changing body shape(at least twice a week). That coupled with a cardio routine(at least 5 days a week for 30 minutes or more)shall get you in the shape you want to get in fairly quickly. The less you workout the less likely you are to reach your goal. You should also watch your food intake and make sure you are not eating an excessive amount of anything and pay close attention to the calories in(the amount you eat) and the calories burned(the amount you expend), because although you want to lose weight you don't want to deprive yourself of the energy you need.

Honey, the only way you will achieve a six pack in 1 month is to draw it there. Results take time but are worth it. Good luck.

Increase you protein intake, and try varying your abdominal exercises. Crunches, depending on how you do them, have a limited effect. There are other abs exercises out there.\n\nBut I'm not completely an expert, so here, try this survey. It's called "Will you get a six pack?" Unfortunately, it doesn't say when. There is really no way of knowing for sure.\n\nhttp://www.menshealth.co.uk/tests/fitness/

Getting fix is 50% exercise, 50% nutrition. If you want a six pack, start watching what you eat, this will really speed up your progress. No junk food, Soda, or fast food. Drink alot of water, keep a water bottle near you all the time. Down around 2.5-4 leaters per day. No fruit juice either, WAYYY too much sugar, much healther to just eat the actual fruits. Try eating more white meat (Chicken, Fish) rather than red meat, pork, beef, lamb. And try having 5 small meals rather than 3 large ones. Eat alot for breakfast to boost your energy level during the day and ease up on dinner because your going to bed after, not burning those calories. As for increasing your Vert, start doing lots of leg exersices to strengthen the muscles in your legs like squats. Do some searching on the web for leg exercies, im sure you'll find alot. Just make sure when doing strength training, be very careful with the weights since your legs are such a big muscle, the weights get pretty heavy. As for your six pack, joggin 4 -5 times a week for 45-60 min should do it for you as well as ab exercises. \n\n-Good Luck!

Situps and crunches will get you the six pack.  But, remember, if there is a layer of fat over it, no one will be able to see it.  So, make sure you do the cardio and other exercises to remove any excess body fat.

if you are a late bloomer then you might not be able to get 4 to 6 pack abs just yet.  Testosterone is required to bulk up your muscles, and if youre still waiting for puberty, then you aren't producing enough to build up muscle.\n\nAnd as for being fat, many people still have baby fat until their late teens; also, you might want to check what youre eating.  Are you eating whole grains? Fruits and vegetables? a healthy portion of meats and dairy products?\n\nAlso, you need to like yourself as you are now, because if you dont now, you wont later, no matter how many lbs you lose or how many muscles you gain.\n\nDon't worry, just stick with it; these things take time.

Cardio is the best, and fastest, way to get a six-pack. Doing situp and crunches won't help, cuz all they do is strengthen your abs. If you want your abs to show, though, then you need to get rid of the fat. What I used to do is ride a bike (stationary, or real) one day, run the next day, row (you know, one of those rowing exercise machines?), stair climber, and then do one of the others the next day. Then I would rest the next two days, and start over. Depending on your stamina, you should at least go for 30 mins at whatever pace you can hold; the important thing, however, is to keep your heartrate up above 100. At the time, for me, I would go for a heartrate goal of 170. There exists a chart that gives what heartrate for what goal at what age (ie, at age 20, to burn fat minimum heartrate is 150; to work on cardio minimum heartrate is 165). Something like that; and yes, that was an example; actual numbers vary. Hope that made sense.

Problem is that you won't see a six pack unless there is actually one there, no matter how much fat you burn.\n\nIs your stomach flat, but no muscle? Sorry to say, but that means your have to do crunches (be sure to include other ab work, so you are toning all of your abs -- try pilates - works great!)\n\nA LOT of people are just built to carry around a little extra weight in their belly; again, crunches/ab work, along with losing general body, will help you to tone up your stomach.\n\nYour didn't say if you were overweght or not, but please bear in mind, even the skinnest people tend to have their "problem areas." Eat healthy, exercise (cardio and muscle traning), will allow you to have a "nice", (not perfect) figure.\n\n(It is nearly impossiable to get that "hard core" defination you see on TV -- if you want that, you should invest in some personal trainer sessions, and plan to spend long hours daily working toward that goal.)

go to www.menshealth.co.uk and buy the book "The Abs Diet" it worked for me, its a blokes book written in blokes language for blokes. It tells you why all the other diets do not work the diet allows you to eat 6 times a day and once a week for one meal you can eat what the hell you like!! You can drink alcohol too but it is a good idea to stop for the 1st 6 weeks of the program and you will see results honestly!!

Forever. To get a six-pack, you have to lift heavy and get your body fat down.
