How To Finally Get Flat Toned Abs or 6 Pack AbsIf you're goal is to get flat toned abs or 6 pack abs then you can't afford to listen to advice that's meant for people who compete in bodybuilding competitions. If you're a regular person who just wants to look good in your bathing suit or your birthday suit then you need practical tips that you can actually follow and that don't require a degree in nutrition, exercise physiology, or psychology. Below you'll find 3 very simple solutions that can help you finally flatten your abs (if you're a woman) and get 6 pack abs (if you're a guy). The solutions that actually work for normal every day people that you won't find on a bodybuilding site! The Best Exercises to Get Flat Toned Abs or 6 Pack AbsHowever, maximum definition in the abs and midsection comes from losing bodyfat, and the most effective exercises featured in my program for that goal are various forms of dumbbell and kettlebell swings and snatches (the unique exercises that almost nobody ever does in normal gyms), squats, deadlifts, lunges, step-ups, clean & presses, mountain climbers, sprinting, and other full body exercises and calisthenics. If you want great looking flat abs, focus on those instead of focusing so much on training the abs directly!"
The Biggest Ab Fatloss Mistake To AvoidMike Geary explains that "the MAIN thing that people are doing wrong to get those flat 6-pack abs is... are you ready for this? They spend entirely too much time focusing on training their abs! WAY too much time spent on abs exercises. Sounds crazy, but it's true. Remember, having a flat and visible six pack of abs is all about getting down to a low body fat percentage. In order to do that, your workouts must focus on stimulating a fat burning hormonal environment in your body, and increasing your metabolic rate. That just does not happen when you focus too much time training a small muscle group like the abs. Instead, you must use the majority of your time focusing on training the largest muscle groups of the body like the legs, back, and chest. That's what stimulates your metabolism and the fat burning hormones that will get you truly lean and sporting a flat sixer!" What To Eat for Lean Toned Abs or 6 Pack Abs
This is probably the subject that gets people the most upset, anxious, frustrated, and confused and listening to the bodybuilding crowd is probably the worst thing you can do. According to Mike "The most important thing is that your diet is as natural and unprocessed as possible. It almost always comes back to the overprocessing of food that makes it unhealthy, and makes it totally wreck your metabolism and hormone balance in your body. For example, why eat refined grains, when you can eat whole grains (even better are sprouted grains, as I usually recommend limiting grain foods overall for best results). Why eat refined sugar, when you can get natural sources of sugar from a high nutrient whole food like fruit. Why eat highly processed, refined, and hydrogenated vegetable oils (these are THE worst thing in the modern diet), when you can eat natural sources of healthy fats like nuts, avocados, fish, eggs, coconut milk, organically raised meat, and so forth. The point is to not fall for some gimmick like extremely low carbs (although I do believe in a fairly reduced carb intake as that is a big problem for most people), low fat, super high protein, or any other combination that has you focusing on one macronutrient vs. another. Your body needs all macronutrients to thrive and obtain a variety of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, etc. Trying to cut an entire food group out just works against what your body needs. I get into much more detail on this vitally important topic towards losing body fat (especially that stubborn stomach fat) for life in my book."
