6 tricks for perfect abs
A tight sexy "six-pack" is one of the most visible signs of a young, fit and healthy person. So why not use the information and techniques described here, and show people how perfect your abdominals can look?- You are what you eat! Learn the basics of good nutrition. Avoid fat, fatty foods and hidden fats. On our Nutrition Guide you'll find links that detail which foods contain higher percentages of fat. If you want a ribbed stomach these must be avoided.
- Avoid eating large meals. Forget the idea of a 'main' meal. Eat six smaller meals a day and stop when you feel full. This reduces the need for your body to convert excess carbohydrates into fatty acids for storage around your stomach. It also reduces the need for your stomach and intestines to stretch your stomach muscles outwards.
- Stomach exercises are best done every other day before breakfast. A basic routine is ten sets of thirty repetitions. Keep the tempo up if one of your goals is to burn the fat on and around your stomach. Make sure that you drink lots of juice or water afterwards to help cleanse your body.
- When doing your stomach exercises concentrate on your 'obliques', the stomach muscles that run up the side of your stomach and around to your back. These are exercises involving a twisting crunch. In this way you'll exercise your central abdominal for 'free' as you go. Pull your stomach in tighter and faster, and strengthen your back muscles too.
- If you want the central stomach muscle blocks to grow so that you get that six-pack look, then do crunches. This is a yoga-like exercise in which you crunch each central muscle individually until it hurts. You can feel this by pushing with the tip of your finger. If you do it right you will sweat loads, move only slightly and cry out from the pain.
