How To Get 6 Pack Ripped Abs

There are no secret ways to achieve 6 pack ripped abs, in fact consistency, healthy diet and a proper exercise routine are the sure-fire ways to achieve results. Instead of turning to quick fat burning products which can have adverse effects on your body resort to natural and healthy ways that will help you lose belly fat and achieve desirable results in the best way.

Below are prime ways that will help you get those much desired ripped abs if followed persistently

1  Focus on losing fat first: Before you start building muscles, you need to shred off the excess belly fat. You can switch to cardio exercises like jogging, walking, cycling or aerobics before starting an intense workout regime.

2 Healthy diet: Less carbs and more of lean protein is the key. Include whole grains, green leafy vegetables and fruits for adequate fibre in your diet to boost your metabolism. Resort to good fats i.e. monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats found in fish oil, olive oil, nuts, almonds which help in maintaining body’s insulin levels required to lose belly fat. Have smaller meals at regular intervals instead of having fewer large meals.

3 Workout for abdominal muscles:

A high intensity workout regime helps in burning more overall fats. High intensity workout plan along with variety in exercises is the key to achieve faster and effective results. Always start working on your lower abs first before you start working on your upper abs for better results. If you start with upper abs first, your lower abs will be stronger and rigid making it harder to then lose fat from your lower abs. Hence, it is important that before you start working on your upper abs, your lower abs are flexible and co-operate in your goal to build your overall abdominal muscles.

Some of the exercises that will help you workout the abdominal muscles are:

1)      Leg raises: This is an easy exercise meant for your lower abs. Lie straight on your back, keeping your back as it is, lift your legs to an angle of 45 degrees from the ground slowly. Hold the position for a few seconds and then bring the legs down. Try and make an impact on your pelvis and abdominal muscles rather than your legs.

2)      Vertical chair knee raise: Stand straight holding a chin-up bar and lift your legs bending them at your knees, try to bring them upto your chest and then bring them down. Make sure that you are making an impact on abdominal muscles while you do this instead of your legs.

3)      Crunches: Lay straight on the ground putting your feet on a chair. Bend your legs 90 degrees at knees. Lift your shoulders slowly at 30 degrees from the ground, hold on for a few seconds before you go down. This is a good exercise for your upper abs.

4)      Side crunches: While you do the above crunches make sure that you bend your shoulders from side to side instead of straight. This will make a substantial impact on your abs.

 4 A Healthy lifestyle: Besides focusing on healthy diet and workout it is equally important to build a healthy lifestyle. Stick to natural foods and avoid processed foods as far as possible, have an adequate amount of water, have a proper sleep routine and keep your stress levels as low as possible, all of which have the ability to affect your body’s natural metabolic rhythm. A healthier metabolism will give you a healthier body with lower levels of accumulated fat.

Remember that your stomach or belly is the last place you will get rid of fat from and hence perseverance is the key, even the best of the fitness and workout plans will take a minimum of 10-12 weeks to give you any significant results, hence it is important that you are consistent with your workout and diet routines before you can see yourself with those wonderful ripped abs.
