We get asked often how do you get a six pack, it seems to be the one area that both males and females desire; we all dream for those chiselled abs. But there isn’t really any deep dark secret about how to get the perfect six pack, but what it does require are the following 3 key components.

1. Genetics we are not all blessed with lovely solid abs. Some people are born with strong stomach muscles; as they loose body fat they become visible and defined quite quickly and those of us who do not have these foundations in place look on in awe, wonder why our abs are not showing although we work a lot  harder than our blessed counter parts.

2. Diet is key. To get those abs you have to get rid of the love handles, tyres, wobbly bits and anything else around that area. Men are prone to putting weight straight onto their stomach which makes it that bit harder. But just by cutting out the rubbish from your diet, ie. Alcohol, chips, anything that you find bloating will reduce the size of the belly.

3. Stomach crunches, yes they do help tone abs but you don’t need to go mad and do hundreds everyday. There are various other exercises such as rowing that also help to work the abs. The longer you train the muscle the more stress you are putting on it and in the long run you could be causing more damage than you realise.

Remember, diet is key, start shifting fat and you will start to see there is muscle under there.
