How to get a six pack abs for men?

Having a six pack abs takes a lot of sweat and cardio; or doeas it? One things for sure it certainly takes persistence and know how. These 2 secrets will help you on your journey to having those sexy six pack abs.

Secret 1

STOP DOING CRUNCHES AND/OR SIT UPS!!!! 

For one to have a great six pack of abs you need to do these 2 secret steps.
The first step I have already giving you; you will also need good nutrition, but you may be saying to yourself "I thought I needed to work my abs to get abdominals" You could not be more wrong, the goal is to shed the fat to show the muscle under.

If you are eating a lot of fast food high in fat and cholesterol then obviously you are not going to see your abs. Therefore eating the right foods lower in fat, the food that has a lower calorie count will help you in burning the fat fast. Also eating small meals throughout the day ( 6-7 meals portioned out protein, green, and carbs) helps you keep your metabolism burning in overdrive.

Most people are eatting three big meals a day and snack the rest of the day. If you don't burn the what you eat your body will start storing that extra food as fat. For most guys, especially men in their early to mid thirties, that fat ends up in your abdominal area. If you consume fruits and vegetables those are the things you will eat in order to keep the waisline small.

Again eatting smaller amounts of the right food throughout the day your body will burn fat faster. Eating those small amounts of fruits and vegetables goes even further and faster in burning the fat.

Secret  2

Exercise! is the robbin to the batman (step #1 being batman) step in your six pack abs journey.
The combination of these two steps is everything in seeing those abs. You can walk, run and workout for a long as you want and not see any results if you do not eat right. This step is very important because if you put the calories into your body you need to find a way to burn all those calories up.

You need to do a cardiovascular workout combined with a good ab workout and that is how to get a six pack abs for men. Abdominal muscles come in three layers, transversus abdominis, this is the muscle that provides stability and plays a roll in exhalation.

The next layer is the rectus abdominis this muscle flexes the spine. The internal and external obliques are the muscles that are closest to your skin. They provide your rotation and lateral movement of your body. Working these muscles with a cardio workout will burn your stomach into submission and get the abs you dream off.

The hardest and the one everyone fails at, is cardio; no one wants to sweat but there are only two ways fat leaves the body and sweat is one of them ( and the other way is #1) want ripped abdominals you need to do at least 17 to 30 minutes of high intensity cardio, I prefer the H.I.T method.

For that lean look you should have at most 5% to 6% overall body fat if you are male and 11% to 13% if you are female. And to get body fat this low you need to do cardio. However, rather than focusing on doing it in outrageous amounts (like 1 to 2 hours a day), you should focus on training harder.

If you train at a higher intensity, you're gonna burn a greater percentage of calories and eventually a greater percentage of fat. The second tip I'm going to give you is you have to control your insulin levels. What that means basically is that you need to start eliminating sugar in your diet. That means no candies, donuts, pastries, etc (sorry).
