My name is Andrew, I am generally quite lean and athletic. I drink, eat more or less what I want, my aim is to give advice on getting that body and ‘6-pack’ you have always wanted.
Since I have been training the most talked about feature seems to be my ‘abs’ over any other part of my body. For some reason many people have this fascination of the so called ‘6-pack’. People seem way more impressed than big arms, legs, chest… That is why I am concentrating on this subject.
The number one thing you need before anything is self motivation and patience, you won’t get results over night. I also recommend you take a picture of yourself before you start
1) 1st of all you need to consider you’re budget and think about how much space at home you have or join a gym, I personally gained good abs from just using simple equipment from home
2) Buy an ab-roller, these work great and isolate the ab muscles best, you can pick them up cheap too. There are also many other kinds of new products on the market.
3) Train every day, be patient results come with time, do as much as you can until your muscles are stinging. Try getting to the stage where you can do:
10 x sit-ups with feet on ground,
10 x bringing your knees towards your chest. As seen on the picture above (lower abs)
2X10 sit-ups resting your legs at each side (left and right) so that your ankle bone rests on the floor, this targets the sides of your abs
Do more if you can, if you can’t manage 10, just do 5.
Concentrate on each rep doing it slowly and controlled
When you’ve finished, stretch back your abs, leaning your head back, pushing your stomach out, this is important and releases built up lactic acid, a little tip I found worked well myself.
Don’t give up, carry on, you may not see results for 1-2 months
Once you gain your 6pack it will be easy to maintain.
consider you’re protein intake and research creatine
If your naturally lean it will be an advantage , if your overweight you will have to concentrate on your diet too, consult the fat to muscle guide book as I mentioned earlier, watch your carbs and fat intake
Take up weights too, training with weights is just like training with the ab roller, improves your shape. Many people are under the misconception that running, treadmills, bikes is best for weight loss and shape. If one compares the human body with a pear, the person who trains on treadmills just becomes a smaller pear with no real shape gained as apposed to a weight trainer.
If you are interested in building a great athletic body you need to consult my website on how to get the book that basically taught me everything, from special diets to in depth training techniques whilst living a normal life.
