Six Pack Abs - Too Many People Do Too Many Reps Too Many times!



In training many people from many different Countries I've been able to not only pick up a good feel for how different people and body types respond to different training. But also compile actual facts and a clear understanding of what works for people trying to get six pack abs and their 'perfect' midsection. When I started training at the age of 15 (15 odd years ago - wow!) I jumped into it like a boy possessed. And I did exactly what I'm going to tell you all NOT to do. I did my 100, 200, 300 sit ups like a 'fiend' - sweating like mad as I did exactly what my workout through the mail' told me to do...

I now know different.

You see as far as I'm concerned and judging by the results of the programs I've set people on, a varied approach is my big 'thing' based around a principle of some days less and some days more. It is OK to do an occasional workout of 100 'crunches and 100 leg raises' for example. I like that approach as a good 'Shock' treatment. BUT I do not do it religiously and I don't want you to. I believe, and so do my students, that you need to treat abs like any other muscle and even though some may disagree I feel a rep range of say 6-10 intense reps in 5 sets with minimal rest is one great example of a lower rep count BUT absolute intensity that will produce results...

I have numerous other programs that I mix and match with the odd 100 sit up 'stomach burner'. But the moral of the article is please, please, please do not just stay stuck in the '80's' and continue the 100+ sit ups as your only abdominal workout plan.

Sincere best wishes to you all, Tristan

How To Get Great Abs In Your Spare Time



One of the problems with exercise is that it is boring and the other problem is finding the time. But, did you know you can get a great looking set of abs, without any equipment, You can do it watching tv, you can do it for 20 minutes while driving to work and you can even do it while laying in bed.

The secret to a good set of abs is low body fat percentage. When the layer of skin covering your abs is thin, it shows through the bumps underneath. So, even if you do have a great set of abs after putting in all that work, you will still need to reduce the fat cells in your skin to a point where the skin is thin enough to be taught and tight around your mid rift.

The good news however, is that getting those abs is not hard. The abdominal muscle group is very large and responds very effectively in most people, to stimulation.

Resistance training is important, but you can do the exercise below for 10 or 20 minutes a day and get the same results without doing a single ab crunch or sit up. It may take you a year or two, but it certainly is one way to create a great looking set of abs without disrupting your schedule or setting foot in a gym. Also, you don't need to sweat, it is not a difficult exercise, but within a week you should begin to see a difference in over all tone and flexion.

Whether you are in your car or laying in bed, all you have to do is aggressively tense your abdominal muscle group, hold it for 10 seconds, simply by counting, "1 cat and dog, 2 cat and dog, 3 cant and dog" till you get to 10, then release. Don t rest too long, then do it again, really feeling the tension and squeezing as hard as you can for another 10 seconds then release. Do this exercise 60 to 120 times over 10 or 20 minutes and watch the abs begin to respond.

If you would like to get a six pack in 23 days or less, buy The "Abs In 23 Days" training program. You can learn more about this award winning, abdominal pumping, fat stripping product by clicking HERE

Clearer Skin and Happiness Fame Fortune and Rock Hard Abs



They use words in their headlines like Greatest and Best, Clearer Skin and Happiness, Fame, Fortune and Rock Hard Abs. It didn't matter how much I or my college buddies exercised, and we were very active with mountain biking, skiing, hiking, backpacking and other outdoor activities, as long as our caloric intake exceeded our output we always had that layer of fat hiding our rock hard abs. Doing Ab exercises is more than enough to get that rock hard abs.

You won't be able to wait for the opportunity to show off your rock hard abs, not to mention the rest of your fit toned booty. I had to keep Richard absolutely quiet while Daddy napped in the passenger seat. When we think of improving strength in our midsection, getting rock hard abs, or just losing some inches off our waists, we think of traditional ab exercises like sit-ups or leg lifts.

And he was so excited he started studying other books and tactics on getting rock-hard abs -- and decided to combine all the best methods that worked into a simple system anyone can use. You might have rock hard abs inside, but you won't see them because you are wearing a thick sweater of FAT. However, there are a few factors you need to be aware of before you make rock hard abs your next fitness goal.

You'll just end up with a set of rock hard abs that nobody will ever see behind their blanket of fat. If you follow this plan you will see results very quickly and depending on how much fat you have to lose you can see rock hard abs fairly quickly. These food sources will not help get you the rock hard abs that you want.

The fitness craze that began with Jack LaLanne in the 60's has mushroomed to encompass many avenues and modalities of boomers seeking better biceps and rock hard abs. Get rock hard abs.
