6 Pack Abs – 3 Principles To Remember

Friday, July 16th, 2010

Where do you begin when you want to lose most of that tummy fat and get a great looking midsection? Here’s three general principles that may help guide you towards your goals.

## Create Suitable Targets

Set some short term and long term goals, write them down and then work towards achieving them. If they’re realistic and you’re willing to work hard then you will reach them. The short term goals give you an everyday sense of accomplishment before you actually see your results, which are connected to your long term goals.

An example of a short term goal is, “I want to do xyz workout 5 times per week.” An example of a long term goal is, “I want to drop 25 pounds, have six pack abs and feel great!”

## 5 Important Foods

These recommended nutrition will not only help you achieve your goals but will dramatically improve your general health and liveliness.

1. Leafy Greens — Big fresh, dark, leafy green things that are in your local grocer’s produce department have a very important overall nutritional impact for you. Some examples would be spinach, kale, arugula and chard. Light green crispy iceberg lettuce does not fall into this category.

2. Complex Carbohydrates — Think of this… replace white rice with brown rice. Replace white bread with whole grain bread. Get the idea?

3. Fruit — Look for mouth watering fruits each time you crave for sweet snacks. Your body will be grateful to you.

4. Healthy Fats — Instead of the usual cooking oil, try using extra virgin oil. Take note that fish and avocado are also two high quality sources of oil.

5. Quality Proteins — Make a habit of upgrading to higher quality organically fed beef and other meats. This will be one more way to prevent a buildup of those nasty animal antibiotics in your system.

## Get A Workout That Works For You And Do It Consistently

The thing about abs is that there are thousands of how-to-get-them out there, but if you really wish to have that six pack, you only need to pick one routine that is safe and works for you. Give it your 100% and do it consistently. You will change your routine accordingly but what’s most important is you just have to do it!

Don’t forget to have fun and be excited about your program, your personal work and your goals. This will keep you on track for the long haul!

Five Fat Loss Mistakes People Make

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

Right to the point, there are five different mistakes people do due to fat loss. I watch men and women do this everyday. Make sure you aren’t doing these mistakes and you will burn fat.

1. Not having any support behind you

Exercising without any support behind you will be tough. Support from your family members, close friends, or your physician is a lot of help and will motivate you more to losing fat. Get at least 1 or 2 people out of those groups who was successful in losing fat that will support you.

2. Not using a program

If you walk into the gym wondering what you are going to do first today then you should just leave because your wasting your time. Make a plan, understand what you got to do. Stay with it and complete it. Now you wont be walking around the gym figuring out where to start.

3. Doing the same workout 4 weeks later

The longest you should go with one program is 4 weeks. If you have stayed with a program more than 4 weeks and if it hasn’t worked yet, it isn’t going to magically start now. Change it up more frequently. You will receive more results and have a lot more fun.

4. Not taking it into consideration that nutrition is a big part to losing fat as well

Diet and nutrition is a big part in losing fat. Eating right is an important factor for fat loss. You can’t just go to the gym bust it out training like an animal and still eat junk food. That way you won’t see the fat loss your looking for. Your diet is as important as your training. Consume natural whole foods, 6 meals a day (medium sized). Take in plenty of protein, vegetables and fiber. Eat fats that is good for you, stay away from trans fat. Also drink a lot of water. It is simple and yet effective.

5. Not knowing when to draw the line

People ask me if doing more lifting and more cardio in their workouts would be even better, well it’s a no, a big NO. Doing so is not recommended at all. People think the more the merrier. There is a limit when you workout, you can only do so much.

Your body can breakdown to fast from too much exercise, especially when you are dieting. Over training and low calories do not go together. This type of combo will not make your engine run at optimum performance.

Aim for quality not quantity in your workouts. For quite a bit of reasons stay with good quality training and a good quality diet. All that really is important is the results you get not the tiredness of your muscles or the tiredness after each workout. What’s important is quality exercises and nutrition. You are aiming for a healthier good looking body that you can be proud of.
