Review - The Truth About Six Pack Abs

Do you spend hours working out on your abdominal muscles?

Are you seeing any results?

Have you any idea what is preventing you from developing a six pack?

The answer my friend is because you have a high body fat mass and it is covering the six pack that you desire so much.

Your six pack is hiding under a layer of fat that no amount of exercise will help to remove.

A six pack is longed for by most people in this world - admittedly mostly male people - and the answer seems to be in "The Truth About Six Pack Abs".

I have been involved in the fitness industry for over 20 years and finally this guy Mike Geary says he has put the true facts out there for anyone to use....or has he?

Strangely the main focus of the book is on nutrition, but it is also a full body fitness program. You may think that working out down the gym, doing all the right exercises is sufficient, well you couldn't be more wrong. If you don't eat the right foods or if you have a huge daily calorie intake then you will never get your six pack. Eating healthily doesn't mean you can't still have a burger or a pizza but it does mean you can't eat it all the time, everyone has a social life and as long as you leave eating things like pizza and burgers for those occasions then you could still get your six pack and possibly get it sooner than you think.

Eat lots of fruit and vegetables, cut down on the red meats and eat plenty of fish and chicken, keep a record of what you are eating everyday and you'll soon see when and where you are over eating then you can change what you are eating or cut it out all together. Should you take supplements? The truth is 95% of them don't work anyway, real food is always best as long as it is the right food. Losing the fat from your abs can only be done with a proper nutritional program and a specific training routine, metabolic rates are increased releasing hormones that stimulate your body to build muscle and burn fat.

Excessive cardiovascular exercise can also be counter productive but you shouldn't stop it altogether. The Truth About Six Pack Abs contains a secret method that the exercises are built around to maximize your metabolic rate and increase your fat burning abilities.

Don't waste your hard earned cash on supplements and abs gimmicks that don't work, spend a fraction of that money on The Truth About Six Pack Abs and see the results for yourself... on yourself!

My name is Gary Everson and I have been specializing in nutrition and fitness for more than 20 years. I have experience as a personal trainer and also offer fitness and nutritional advice. The Truth About Six Pack Abs is a fitness program which straightens out all of the fluff and fallacy that is currently in circulation about getting washboard abs. It has been written by fitness expert Mike Geary after years of practical application and after countless hours of research in preparation of this complete solution.

1. Bent Knee Sit-up

Sit down on a sit-up board and hook your feet under the strap. With your knees bent to about 45 degrees put your hands behind your head and your chin on your chest (this will put a slight bow in your back). From this position, inhale and lie back until your lower back touches the board. Exhale as you raise back up to the starting position.

2. Alternating Twisting Sit-Up

Sit down on a sit-up board and hook your feet under the strap. With your knees slightly bent, put your hands behind your head and your chin on your chest.

Twist your upper body to the right. Retaining this position, inhale and lower your torso down until your lower back touches the board. Return to the starting position and exhale.

Now twist your upper body to the left and repeat the same movement. A movement to the right and left is considered one repetition.

3. Tummy Isometric Crunch

First exhale, and then suck in your tummy as much as you can. Hold this position for fifteen seconds. Then relax and breathe normally.

Visualize moving your bellybutton straight toward your back. Holding in your tummy muscles and tensing your abs is a good way of firming and strengthening them. You will also become more aware of how to control your tummy muscles. Repeat several times. This exercise can be done anywhere, anytime. However, if you have high blood pressure, do not hold your breath for extended periods of time.

Additional Tips for a Six Pack

Before you begin, it's recommended you understand how each exercise is performed to achieve the maximum results.

http://www.beginning-bodybuilding.com/6monthsofabs.htm

 4-point tempo explained:
2010 tempo =
2 = negative/eccentric action
0 = pause in stretch position
1 = positive/concentric action
0 = pause in contracted position
 

* You can substitute a crunch for a double crunch if you want the overall exercise to be more difficult.

* By doing a variety of movements, you are targeting all the areas of the midsection. Using bodyweight is usually preferred over heavy weights that tend to build up and thicken the midsection.

* Rep ranges in this program are suggested. Go for 'perceived' exertion. If you can do more, do more. Judge a set by how you feel not how many reps you do.

* Keep the tension on the abdominals at all times.

Ace Abs Without Crunches, Cradles, Or Sit-ups!

Daily 1000s Of Peoples Are Getting 6 Pack Abs From This Method

                

>>  Be Sure That You Will Never Get Six Pack Abs Unless You Know These Strategies <<

 

I know what many of you are thinking reading the title of this article. I also thought the same once. It cannot be done! Attaining a stronger, visible, set of abdominal muscles has always been a common goal in people’s fitness training programmes and yet, paradoxically, many (most) of these people never actually achieve this goal.

Being involved in the fitness industry I see the same problem over and over again. The problem can be spelled out like this.

M-A-C-H-I-N-E-S!

Now, while there is nothing innately wrong with abdominal equipment, it does bring with it a whole host of potential problems. One of the most prominent is that people simply do not use the equipment correctly. Another is that they erroneously believe that somehow the machine will do half the job for them!

A third problem is that to some extent abdominal cradles, and the assortment of similar cradle designs, are essentially lifting your head for you thus eliminating the need for that much effort.

There is a way to work the abdominal region however that requires little movement, but that is highly effective, as the emphasis is purely on you to put in the effort without a machine in sight!

This method involves the use of deep focused breathing whilst squeezing (with varying degrees of intensity) your abdominal muscle. To some it seems too simple and yet, performed daily and with gusto, it is a wonderfully natural and invigorating exercise that promotes tighter abdominals and, as an added bonus, aids in strengthening the internal organs.

Try the basic exercise below each day for the next week and feel the benefits.

1. Stand (or sit) comfortably.

2. Inhale into your belly (not your chest) and feel it expand.

3. Once full with air, being your exhale, and squeeze your abdominals at the same time.

4. Do not rush this exhalation. It should be smooth with no impediments. A good way to perform this exhale is through pursed lips.

5. Repeat at least ten times.

Note – Do not squeeze and try to force the air out while holding the breath. Breathing exercises such as this may be dangerous. Ideally, perform where fresh air is circulating. Having experienced this you should be feeling great! Your abdominals will have been exercised, you will have breathed deeply, and energised yourself in as little as ten breaths!

It is worth saying that you should not utilise one hundred percent muscular contraction in your first attempts at working your midsection this way. It may lead to injury. Instead, focus on incrementally adding tension as you become more proficient at it.

There are many other methods for working the midsection that one can do without machine based, or standard movements, but as a start the above exercise should provide you with food for thought on how one can get a great core workout in without having to wait in line at the gym for the abdominal cradles to be free!

Have at it!
