The Fastest Way to a Visible Six Pack

Summer is here and having a beach body is in high demand. If you have waited too long to get yours in shape, there is a way to rapidly increase the rate of fat loss necessary to get those abs out in public before the summer is over.

Everybody knows by now that having a visible six pack stomach is not about crunches, but instead about low body fat. But having said that, only being lean results in less than stellar abs, and will increase the time in which it takes for them to show. In other words, developed abs will show quicker than undeveloped ones with equal amounts of body fat, so why not work both sides of the equation to assist in getting your beach body.

Ab exercises need not be back breaking crunches and ineffective sit ups. More efficient ab moves can be found everywhere. The ones I recommend are planks and bridges. These are nothing more than the push up position modified to work your core area and are significantly more challenging and effective than most people realize. The fact they provide a full core workout without any back or neck discomfort makes them ideal for middle aged and up people.

Also, if you have access to a cable machine there are moves that you can do to take advantage of the machines ability to adjust weight loads that makes simple movements incredibly effective in building your six pack muscles. The reason most ab exercises are ineffective for so many people is that most peoples abs are not strong enough to lift the weight of their upper body. Hence they unknowingly "cheat".

You can find detailed descriptions of all these back saving ab blasting weight lifting routines all over the Internet.

Having better developed abs is the lessor half of the equation though. Reducing body fat into the single digits as a percentage of total body weight is the real solution to getting them visible. Some would say "diet" is the key. It is, but that isn't nearly specific enough. The real key is "the proper calorie composition and daily distribution rate" that makes it doable. Or, eating the right mix of foods in the right amounts at the right times of the day.

Today's muscle building supplements industry offers a wide range of very low calorie, fat and sugar products that are packed with muscle maintaining protein. If you combine these type products with a reduced calorie nutritional plan, in a relatively short amount of time the fat will melt away and your now better developed abs will show through.
