How to Get a Six Pack?
One of the main misconceptions that people with a pot belly have is that
you can get a six pack by just doing exercises for abdominal area or wearing a
sweat belt. That is not the case and sweat is not fat.
Every one of us has a specific genetic abdominal muscle structure over which
there is a layer of fat which hides the shape of abdominal muscles. In order to
remove that layer of fat you need to do exercises for your entire body, because
fat can is burned by muscle activity. More activity means that more calories are
burned. Abdominal wall is an important muscle group, however it is not such a
large calorie consumer. In order to make your training more efficient you need to
do exercises that can activate large muscle groups, such as sit ups, lunges, squats
etc. Those exercises activate more than half of muscles in your body and burn
much more calories than just doing abdominal exercises.
That means that you need to:
• have a training that consists of exercises that activate as much muscles and
muscle groups of your body as possible. Here is where strength training and
our Full Body Transformation Program expresses it’s unique concept which is
activating your whole body and thus burning large quantities of calories and
lowering the amount of fat, in this particular case- abdominal area.
• eat healthy - This means: regular consumption of carbs, protein and fat in
the right ratio (a lot of proteins, high quality carbs and just a small amount
of good fats). Carbs you should avoid are simple carbs: all types of sugar that
come from processed food (like candy) or excessive fruit consumption. Good
fats can be found in all types of nuts as well as in fish and olive oil. We’ll talk
about it some more in a section called Proper nutrition.
• be persistent Persistency is an important factor if you want to achieve
anything, regardless of what aspect of life you are looking at.
