Fat Burning And 6 Pack Abs Tips

The "REAL" Real Truth About ABS...


Ok, I know what you're thinking...

You're expecting me to say that the real "truth" to getting lean,
sexy 6-pack abs is to "Fat Burning", right?

You want to tell me that you "already HAVE 6-pack abs" but it's just
covered with an extra layer of body fat, eh?

Sure, that's what EVERYONE says, and it's TRUE...

...SORT OF!

You see, too many people have put in all the "hard work" to get to
single digit body fat levels only to find that when the fat is
gone...

...their abs are still FLAT AS A PANCAKE!

================================

So here's the REAL "truth" about 6 Pack ABS...

================================

You actually have to HAVE "muscle" on your abs in order to achieve
that lean, "ripped" look!

Plus, here's one more little "unknown" that will make getting
6-pack abs EASIER...

You see, the amount of muscle you have on your abs will determine
whether you start seeing your "pack" poke through at 10% body fat
or 6% body fat.

And TRUST ME...there's a WORLD of difference in that 4% gap, as
anyone who's ever tried to "diet down" to single digit body fat
levels will tell you!

As far as I'm concerned, if I can look great at 10% body fat
because my abs have more muscle and are more defined, then all the
better...easier abs!

So you see, the key is to TRAIN your abs hard in the gym, just
like ANY other muscle...with RESISTANCE!

Sure, there are a lot of machines you can find at your local gym
that will target your midsection, but...

================================

Here's a "Quick Bodyweight Tip" For Training ABS...

================================

Most people are especially challenged with hitting their LOWER ABS.

This'll do the trick...

Find yourself a DECLINE BENCH and a bath-sized TOWEL.

Roll the towel up into about a cylinder, about 6 inches high.

Lay on the decline bench with your head toward the top and your
legs straight with feet on the floor.

Place the towel from left to right under your lower back and grab
the bench behind your head with both hands to gain leverage.

The towel increases the range of motion in your abs and ALSO gives
you incredible lower ab activation.

Now, keeping your legs STRAIGHT, raise them in the air until you're
in the shape of a "V" and breathe out forcefully at the peak
contraction point.

Lower your legs SLOWLY but don't give them a break at the bottom.

Raise them back up in the air and continue back and forth until
exhaustion.

When you're abs are toast, finish them off by bending your legs
at the knees and doing "reverse crunches" in the same fashion,
bringing your knees up toward your chest.

5 Fat Burning And Carb Burning Tips

5 Fat Burning And Carb Burning Tips


There is alot of misinformation out there today about what are the best ways to workout for fat burning and get permanent fat loss results. Anyone can lose weight for the short term (see any of the fad diets on the market today). The question and solution is how to go about fat burning to get permanent results.

If you are serious about getting off the dieting yo-yo keep reading and learn the right way to lose that body fat (permanently) gain some lean muscle and live a healthy lifestyle.


Secret #1 - The Death Of The " Fat Burning Zone Workouts "

Your fat loss workouts should be burning carbohydrates, forget about the fat burning zone!

What? I know that's not what most of the so called experts say. My point exactly. Focus your training on resistance training and interval training. Both of these use carbohydrates as the main source of energy. So it's obvious the workout is designed to burn carbohydrates during the training session.

Forget the idea of training in your "target heart rate zone" for fat burning (aka - the fat burning zone). The whole idea of a fat-burning zone is an over-simplified idea of how the body works during exercise.

Leave the inefficient fat burning zone to the mis-educated trainers in the commercial gyms (that not surprisingly, also want to sell you a heart rate monitor so you can stay in your "fat burning heart rate zone").

If you want to get the most fat burning results in the least amount of time, focus on burning carbohydrates, not fat.

Why should your fat loss workouts focus on burning carbohydrates rather than fat? In order to burn more calories after the workout, that's why. When you exercise with intervals and heavy resistance training, your body uses more calories in the hours after exercise than it would if you did traditional cardio and lifted lighter weights.

What are the results? maximum change in your body composition (helping you lose fat while gaining lean muscle).

Secret #2 - Vary Your Rep Ranges in your strength Training.

In order to train more muscle fibers and burn more carbohydrates, use a range of repetitions within the same workout. My workouts now use 6, 8, and 12 reps per set in order to work the muscle the most effectively.

This will burn more carbohydrates and promote as much muscle growth and fat loss as possible when you are keeping the calories low.

Secret #3 - Your Interval Training Use Variety

One of my favorite ways of doing my Intervals? Believe it or not a Jump Rope that's right! Jumping rope get's your whole body involved get your form down and quick intervals on the rope are great for fat burning.

Also try doing Burpees (you know the old squat thrust from school) Burpees will not only kick your butt but for another simple exercise the fat loss results can't be beat.

Secret #4 - Eat More Often

Okay, so this isn't really a secret to anyone that has read about fat loss. But a 2005 study from the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that eating 6 times per day was associated with eating fewer calories per day, lowering cholesterol levels, and lowering post-meal insulin levels.

Combine an increased meal frequency with an increased protein and fiber intake, and you'll see your body composition improve rapidly.


Secret #5 - Ditch The Marathon Aerobic Workouts

Are you looking for maximum results in less time? Of course you are, so why spend hour after hour on a treadmill when you can get faster and more permanent results in less time.

The strength training-interval training fat burning, fat loss workouts are efficient and effective - getting you in and out of the gym in under an hour.


But always stick to the best fat loss nutrition plan possible.

Fat Loss doesn't need to be rocket sceince. Eat right use strength training and interval training burn those carbs for fat burning, gain lean muscle, fat free head turning body.

Fat Loss Circuit Training For Extreme Fat Burning

All the abdominal training in the world won't help if you have a thick layer of fat covering them up! This fat-loss training technique will put your metabolism into high-gear...

If you're looking to burn fat as fast as humanly possible, Fat-Loss Circuit Training is the BEST place to start.

Fat-Loss Circuit Training is a training technique designed around the concept of circuit training...moving from one exercise to another with very little rest between exercises. But Fat-Loss Circuit Training has a couple of very unique twists that will help really peel the fat off your body FAST.

Fat-Loss Circuit Training is very simple once you get the hang of it, but it can be one of the most demanding styles of training you can do.

This is a training technique that you can not only feel working WHILE you're training but very strongly AFTER your training session is done...many people report actually FEELING their metabolism increasing for hours afterwards (like their internal thermostat has been kicked up several degrees).

Now, if you're familiar with normal circuit training (with timed, light-weight intervals), please put aside any notions you might have of how this program works. You will not only be harnessing the muscle-building and metabolism-stimulating power of intense, full-set weight training (NOT the typical light-weight, timed intervals of normal circuit training), you will also be incorporating the great calorie-burning effects of cardiovascular training at the same time.

"This unique combination of weights and cardio into one workout is, quite simply, phenomenal for fat burning".
