The Three Common Barriers
To Getting Abs... |
|
| |
So many people struggle with losing a flabby stomach fat that
doesn't seem to want to go away no matter what they try.
Most people make the same mistakes
over and again - focussing on the wrong
techniques or eating the wrong foods.
You think that it is all about going on
a diet of bland food in the hope of a
quick fix or that you will be tied to a
routine of endless crunches?

more about real techniques and the
nutrition behind getting ripped abs then

The
Three Common Abs Training Mistakes People Make:
1. Most people waste way too much time doing sit-ups and stomach crunches. There
are much more effective exercises to stimulate rapid fat burning and abs building.
The majority of the most effective
techniques for blasting away stomach fat are not actually "abs-specific"
and this report shows you which these
are. Furthermore it is crucial that
these exercises are sequenced correctly
to get the best fat-loss results possible
- more details in the report.
2. Too many people spend too long with
boring cardio routines that hold them back from achieving their abdominal objectives.
This is because people generally do not
perform
the right types
of cardio exercise. Discover the most effective cardio techniques to get abs.

3. Fad diets just do not work for most people.
Most fitness pros recognise that
low-carb or low-fat diets often do not give the body what it needs to
become a lean and healthy.
Such diets can actually work against you getting your body toned. Having been stifled by a dietry
straightjacket previously it is a
real release to discover the foods
that I can actually enjoy my food without feeling guilty or weak-willed.
Do I recommend you try these
revolutionary abs exercises and
nutrition tips? Yes I do but they
are certainly not for everyone.
If you are on an un-ending quest for a fat-loss "quick-fix"
then these strategies are probably not
for you. You will be unlikely to have the focus and drive to get the most
from strategies.
As with most things in life, a
beautifully toned and healthy body
requires attention and dedication to
your goals. If however you are a
goal-oriented individual who needs
expert guidance to focus in on REAL
training techniques and SUSTAINABLE
nutrition then you should certainly
give these techniques and tips a
chance.

Effective Belly Fat Loss... |
| |
|
When it comes to losing weight people have tried hundreds
if not thousands of different ways to lose belly fat and develop abs effectively.
Fitness pros have tried a number of techniques to successfully help their clients to firm their
loose belly, lose stomach fat and keep it off for good.
All fitness pros recognise that probably the most important
factor in effective weight loss and firming your abs is keeping your diet as
natural and as unprocessed as possible.

|
|
| |
Overprocessed food is unhealthy and is
out of balance with your body's natural matabolism and hormone balance.
For example many people consume refined sugar rather than
getting their sugar from natural sources such as fruit. Eating the wrong food
is a sure-fire way of never shifting that loose belly.
Probably the worst thing about the modern diet is the abundance of
highly-processed, refined and hydrogenated vegetable oils.
There are many sources of healthy fats such as organic meat, nuts,
avocados, coconut milk, fish and eggs.

Six Pack
Training - Keeping Motivated... |
| |
|
When you are trying to
build-up that six pack it can sometimes be
tough to keep the focus needed to hit
through that training wall. Of course
it does help having the right training
program that uses real abs building
exercises and explains the correct
nutrition.
Even with that
advantage getting a six pack is not easy
(otherwise everyone would have one, right?).
|
|
| |
|
Motivation, or rather the
lack of it, can be a massive barrier to achieving what
you want to in life. Whether it be in your career
or in your fitness goals.
The key to staying motivated is to look at your overall
objective as a sum of constituent elements or steps on a
journey. For example, if you are reading this your
overall goal is presumably to develop washboard abs.
If you consider the achievement of your ultimate goal to
be the destination of your journey the steps along the
way to your destination are the goals you should be
focusing on immediately.
Realigning your focus in this way can help you achieve
the overall objective that in itself looks like a
daunting prospect. For example, many people reading this
will consider that getting a six pack is a nice idea but
just going to be too hard, uncertain of the methods to
follow or unobtainable for some other reasons.
Depending on your starting point you may want to
consider aiming first to lose a certain number of inches
from your waist, then once you see the benefits of an
effective abs programme you will have the
motivation, momentum and enthusiasm to push on and go
for the first visible abs muscles.
When setting these pathway goals it is a good idea to
start with an objective that is relatively easy to
attain. Then as you attain these objectives and
start to feel more positive about yourself and what you
are doing you should start to set targets which stretch
you a little more. Believe me, when you hit your
first stretch target it is such a great feeling that you
will believe that anything is possible.

Get Abs...
Are you always fighting against a loose belly? Are you wanting to get ripped abs or
and firm your stomach? Maybe you feel let down by the well known
diet brands and endless dull abs exercises? |
|
Well, you will be pleased to know that
you are not alone. The aim of this website is to
help empower you to get rid of that loose belly,
and to show you REAL techniques to lose stomach fat and get
firm abdominal muscles.
Stomach crunches and sit-ups are the forms of exercise
that come to mind when people think about toning up their abs
or developing a six pack. In fact these traditional
forms of exercise are not actually the most effective
form of exercise for developing stomach muscles and firming the upper
body. There are a number of non abs specific techniques and nutritional aspects of
developing a firm stomach that are often overlooked.
However, what most people don't realize is that excess abdominal fat in particular, is not only ugly,
but is also a dangerous risk factor to your health.
Scientific research has clearly demonstrated that although it is unhealthy in general to have excess body fat throughout your body, it is also particularly dangerous to have a loose belly
full of excess abdominal fat.

Fad Diets... |

Did you know that more and more people these days have excess abdominal fat?
Most people realise that their excess abdominal fat is plain ugly. Let's face it,
having a loose belly makes them self-conscious about their bodies.
|
|
|
|

However, most people do not realise that not only is excess abdominal fat ugly but it is also
a danger to people's health. Scientific research has demonstrated that while it is unhealthy
to have excess fat throughout the body, it is particularly risky for people to have excess abdominal
fat.
Abdominal fat comes in two types.
The first is called subcutaneous fat which lies
directly below the skin and covers the abdominal muscles. Too deep a layer of
this type of fat hides the abs muscles.
The second type of fat found in the abdominal area
is called visceral fat. This type of fat lies deeper in the abdomen
below the abdominal muscles surrounding the organs.
This is the type of fat that
gives some men a "beer belly". This type of large gut is characterised by a
protruding belly which
feels hard when it is pushed upon.
Excessive amounts of both of these types of abdominal fat greatly increase the risk of
you developing diabetes, high blood-pressure, heart disease, strokes, and other degenerative diseases -
including various forms of cancer.
Although both these types of abdominal fat are serious risk factors, science has shown that excessive
visceral fat is even more of a risk than subcutaneous fat. Apparently the reason why visceral fat
is particularly dangerous is that it releases more inflammatory molecules into the body on a consistent
basis than subcutaneous fat.
If you want to dramatically improve the quality of your life
and that of your loved ones around you, you should make reducing your abdominal fat
a MAJOR priority for you. Apart from the undoubtable health advantages of ridding yourself of
a loose belly, if you lose sufficient stomach fat you will achieve a highly toned stomach
and get those hot six pack abs that everybody craves.

Rock hard abs without crunches... |
| |
So you think you know the best stomach fat loss exercises?
It’s all about stomach crunches right? Wrong!
|
|
|
|
|
Many athletes already know that squats are one of the most effective overall exercises for stimulating fat loss and muscle gain.
The reason for this is that squats (and similar exercises such as deadlifts) use more muscle groups than other weight-bearing exercises. Imagine the many hundred of muscles that are required to stabilise your body during this form of exercise.
Research has shown that squats are extremely effective at increasing upper body development as well as lower body development.
Exercise should always be performed correctly and the same applies to squats.
For example, performed correctly squats can actually strengthen the knees.
Performed incorrectly squats may damage your knees. So how should squats be performed safely?
Firstly, you should be using free weights rather than a machine to perform squats.
Several experts suggest that using a machine to perform these squats is less effective and potentially dangerous as
compared with barbells or dumbbells.
Although many people are familiar with barbell back squats (where the barbell is resting on the muscles of the upper back)
experts actually recommend front squats as the more effective form of exercise and the type of squat which is less likely to lead to
lower back injury.
Although front squats are a little bit more difficult than barbell back squats,
it will only take a few sessions to become comfortable with front squats but you should certainly go
light for those familiarisation sessions.
The reason why front squats are so good for abs is that the abdominals are used much more
significantly to achieve an upright position as compared with barbell back squats.
When performing the first few squats you will likely think that this is mainly a lower body exercise.
However when you get the squats right (and it will only take a little practice) you will start to feel
your abs contracting hard to get the strength and stability your body needs when performing the squatting movement.
Squatting is awesome for increasing your core strength and building rock hard abs.
Performing the front squat
First timers find that it can be a little difficult to get the bar positioned on the shoulders correctly.
There are a few ways of holding the bar but I find the easiest is to hold the bar with your palms facing up
and the bar resting on the fingers of your hand against your shoulders. You must keep your elbows elevated
to help your body support the weight.
For best results it is important that your arms remain parallel to the ground when performing the squat.
Once you are holding the bar comfortably, you start the squat from the hips by squatting such that the weight is kept on your heels (rather than the balls of each foot). Once your thighs are almost parallel to the ground you should then power up to your starting position. Remember to keep your weight over your heels in order to limit the risk of injury to your knees and to build strength around your knees so that you can perform many more of these abs-building squats.
Whether you are looking to lose fat, cultivate a strong body or improve your athleticism you should definitely consider including squats into your exercise schedule.

Keeping Abdominal Exercises Interesting... |
| |
|
Several people have told me that they lose
motivation with abs training quickly because
they are bored of the exercises -
particularly crunches. Firstly, you
can probably predict that I tell them that
it is certainly not about crunches
/sit ups. No way. And because of that
you are not restricted to any one exercise
to get abs. |
|
|
|
In fact it is widely accepted by trainers that
it is a good idea to mix up your exercise for any
one muscle group - and the same goes for the
abdominal muscles.
Variety is the spice of life but it is also the
elixir of abs training!
If you want to get a washboard stomach it is almost
mandatory to be mixing up the exercises you are
throwing at your stomach muscles. Not only
does this approach work your muscles in a variety of
ways but (almost more importantly) it keeps you
fresh, goal-oriented and more lively to achieve your
ultimate objective.
