The Truth about 6 Pack Abs

March 10, 2010 by StraightEdge 


Can you visualize yourself walking along street in your favorite location looking and feeling absolutely on top of the world.  Or as you stroll down the beach and you notice people glance over there shoulders to admire your beautiful ripped abs. Feeling so confident in your self that your vacation seems perfect like a dream.  You pinch yourself and realize that you have arrived.

Nobody said that being discipline was easy.  As a matter of fact here are some examples of things we tell ourselves unconsciously that keeps us from hitting our goals: “I would love to workout, but I don’t want to be sore for tomorrow’s barbeque.”, “I will have a free day this weekend therefore I will stuff my face with cookies and milk.”, “I love the gym, I just don’t have time to go anymore”.

Whether you are looking to lose a few pounds or get in shape for bodybuilding competition, please under any circumstances don’t let yourselves of any excuses.  Here are some helpful mindsets that will help when you get back on track when you feel you are buying your excuses:

Writing down your aspirations and visions.  Get a notepad right this moment, and write down all of your goals and aspirations.  On a piece of paper make a line down the middle.  In one side have your “goals” and the other have “aspirations” example. Goal #1 Lose 10 pounds this month. Aspiration  #1   Lose 10 pounds so I can buy a new pair of jeans, and so on.  Make sure they are in detail and also try to make them very personable.  Soon you wil  develop these mental changes that will change your life forever subconsciously.  Also Take note of the times you are at your lowest in energy and pull out your sheet and read those to you out loud.  Might sound kind of weird but it works.  Professional athletes do it everyday.  Why not you?.

Even if you simply just want to live an incredible healthy lifestyle and carrying on that mindset to your family and kids, is absolutely worth it.  Stay focused, stay in the fight and we will see you in the beaches of the world sporting your ripped abs.

Abdominal exercise devices are many in number and range form simple inflatable balls to complicated structures with springs hinges and hydraulic resistance mechanisms.

Although this strategy seems to be logical, the effectiveness of an abdominal exercise device on the abdominal area is much less than one would think, in fact the effects of abdominal exercises are far less than that of walking, jogging or cycling for a similar level of perceved effort. The fact that most abdominal exercise devices use a muscle isolation form, will give a far greater feeling of a good workout because the lactic acid build up during exercise causes some discomfort which is normaly ascociated with vigorous exercise and thus giving a perceived level of exercise which has actually not depleted the normal level of blood sugar in the bodies energy system and thus not effected the bodies energy system to break down stored fat into usable energy.

If you are still determined that an abdominal device is the right choice I would recoment a small device that doesnt take up half you house, unless you have a spare room, some thing like the 6 Second abs or the Ab King Pro will certainly give you a good workout.

First off, I want to mention that, for most people, getting six pack abs is not an easy task. It requires dedication, but it is possible! Below is a general 2-step guide that, if followed religiously for 3 months, will produce results.

Step 1: Nutrition

Replace junk foods like soda, candy, fast food, white bread etc with foods that will help you reach your goal: oatmeal, olive oil, whole grain breads, fruits, vegetables, nuts, eggs, natural peanut butter, chicken, fish, protein and water. Be realistic- you’ll slip here and there, but make a conscious effort to radically improve your eating habits because getting a six pack will be impossible if you don’t.

Step 2: Exercise

Workout at least three or four times a week doing 3 main types of exercise – cardio, weight lifting, and abs exercises.

The cardio you do can be anything: walking, running, biking, swimming….whichever cardio you don’t mind doing so that you’ll stick with it. Aim for 30-45 minutes, a minimum of 2 times a week

Weight lifting works because 3 pounds of increased muscle burns as many calories as going on a 1 mile run…and this happens while you’re just sitting around! Aim for 30-45 minutes, a minimum of twice a week. Consult a body building website if you’re looking for some exercises to use.

The last exercise you need to incorporate into your workout is ab exercises. Aim to work your abs a minimum of 3 times a week. There are a ton of different ab exercises you can do so try to find 3 or so that you enjoy doing so you can mix it up.

Tip: Try to mix up your routines every two weeks by varying the specific exercises and weights.

Associated with high energy levels and youthful appearance, Human Growth Hormone (HGH) is produced in high amounts in children, gradually dropping off as we age. Once available only to the ultra-rich by direct injection, HGH is one of the most powerful anti-aging substances known. It promotes youthful skin, greater bone and muscle mass,


reduced fat storage, higher energy and endurance, fast healing and recovery, improved memory, better mood, increased sex drive, and hair growth. GenF20 HGH is a Human Growth Hormone releaser that helps replenish your body’s lost levels of HGH.

It will take dedication on your part, but imagine the feeling you’ll get when you look in the mirror and like what you see.
