2007-Aug-21 - How To Get A Six Pack
Here is good news for all those people who want to get a six pack - or just a flat stomach - but just hate doing sit ups. Don't you find it's nearly impossible to keep your feet from coming up too when you try to sit up? And lets be practical - where, in most homes, can you really hook your feet properly under something without sending the furniture flying? Well, apparently sit ups are not a good exercise, after all. You can strain muscles and even do some damage to your back, especially if you are not very fit.
And those infomercial abs machines are not great either. They apparently don't exercise some of your stomach muscles because you get too comfortable lying on them.
So what's the answer?
David Grisaffi reckons the answer is to use an exercise ball - one of those Swiss balls. The point he makes rings true, I guess - you have to keep your balance, so you need to use more muscles than you do on most abs machines where you lie down. He has some routines that are a lot less stressful than traditional sit ups, but you still get great results. In fact, David really knows what he is talking about, and shows you just how to flatten your abs in his latest ebook, Flatten Your Abs.
There is more.
The other surprise for me also made sense.
For years it has troubled me that I can get quite fit, but there is no sign of a six pack.
Tom Venuto, a competitive bodybuilder, has an answer that also makes sense. He says it's all about nutrition. You have to cut back your body fat layer to define your muscles, and that's how bodybuilders get ripped abs. Before you get stuck into your exercises you need to eat in the right way if you want your six pack to emerge. Body builders have perfected this art, and may know more about how to do it than your doctor, as they cut back their body fat percentages when they are competing. Tom Venuto knows how they do it. It doesn't take a big step of imagination to realise how important this nutrition knowledge can be of great value to the rest of us as well. We may not want to go to the extremes of the body builders, but if we can use their methods to cut back on our body fat, that has to be helpful. Tom knows this, and has written an ebook for the rest of us - Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle. It has become a best seller.
What impresses me about what Tom has to say is that his approach is a change of lifestyle - new habits - not just a fad diet. There are certain foods you eat, some you drop and a pattern of eating that makes the difference, and makes for a permanent change for the better. He deals with the motivation issues as well, knowing that this is of critical importance to most of us who find it tough to change old habits.
David and Tom seem to me to offer the "real deal" answers, not some fly by night quick fix. Their recommendations could change your life ... for the better.
Here is an interesting interview between Tom and David.
And you should check out the free ebook by Tom, Skyrocket Your Fat Loss.Success.
