As we slowly tick into Spring, thoughts turn to Summer and getting beach ready. Nobody wants to go to the beach looking out of shape. Part of that is wanting to get the perfect 6 pack abs. But it also happens to be the part that is most elusive. As anyone who has tried to get them knows, it can be really difficult. Especially as the last part of fat to go is the part around your waistline.
So how do you go about getting the perfect 5 pack abs you’ve always wanted. The secret is surprisingly simple. A 6 pack is made in the kitchen first and foremost. Getting your diet right is absolutely key to unleashing your inner potential. If you can get that right, you have a fighting chance. Aiming for 0.8 grams of protein per lb of body weight is a great idea. Using a calories tracker such as MyFitnessPal will help you to track your calories accurately. You will also need to figure out just how many calories you should be consuming a day. Then aim for a slight deficit. Using a calorie calculator will help you figure out exactly how much food you need to be eating.
Also make sure you are getting enough water during the day. Not only will this help to keep you feeling fuller, it will also boosts your energy levels. Which is important when you are eating at a deficit and working out. Aim for at least 8 glasses of water a day.
Once you have that right though, you still have work to do. As can be seen in the infographic from Lucas James below.
Next you need to up your cardio game. Really try to burn as much fat as possible. It’s also important that you get enough sleep too. Being tired leads to you making worse health choices. Fast foods and opting for less exercise. It also slows your metabolism, leading to worse results. Trying to get at least 6 hours of sleep a night is a good target.
Lastly, get your lifting game on. Compound lifts and targeted ab exercises will get you swole and ready in no time at all.
