What is the best way to get six-pack abs and tone the body?
I already eat fairly well and very healthy. I work out 2-3 times a week and very muscular also. But I’m trying to really get a good six-pack. From people who already have a ripped six-pack: How much crunches or situps do I have to do each day? What type of crunches? What type of work out routine?

Loosing unwanted weight is always very difficult. When we eat we fill our cells. If we are taking in more than we are burning off the cells will multiply. The fat cells will never go away. They will shrink when we lose weight but if the bad eating habits return the fat cells will expand quickly. This is why people gain weight back so quickly after a crash diet. There’s not secrete to losing weight. Always boils down to two things. 1.) Proper diet. Including portion amount, time of intake, what foods you’re eating. I have read every diet book and tried most of them twice. I’m not over weight, but like to have a tight 6 pack. I have also been to a nutritionist only to better what I’m eating. What I’ve found over the years is that you need to balance your meals and eat several meals. Eating once or twice a day sends your body into a mode where it thinks you are going to starve and it will store everything instead of burning calories your forcing it to keep them in storage. Eating several small times a day increases the metabolism. It forces your body and digestive system to go to work. Avoid sugars and excess carbohydrates. I have had the best results this year when I started eating things based on the glycemic index. Which will help control insulin and glucose. Insulin also makes the body store food. Snack on mixed nuts, raw veggies or fruits. 2.) Working out. (Cardio mixed with weight training will produce best results. Cardio 1st will increase heart rate and core temperature. Follow with some weight training. You will burn more calories and have a more intense training session.)
This is an example of what I eat. I’m not saying I’m perfect; this is what works for me.
Breakfast: I’ll eat one pack of low sugar oatmeal. I prefer cinnamon and apples. Sometimes I’ll cut up a banana or put some frozen blue berry’s mixed in. I’ll boil eggs the night before and eat 3 egg whites for the added protein.
Lunch: I can of tuna fish, I like to cut up red pepper, onions, celery, and I’ll add some egg whites left over from breakfast. I’ll eat this with one slice of wheat bread. Nature best has some healthy bread. White bread has no nutritional value. I’ll have my tuna with an apple or pear. Both are lower on the glycemic index.
Dinner: I’ll have some kind of meat. I prefer chicken or I’ll grill fish. Different kinds of color rice and I’ll have some kind of vegetable.
I could write all day, but the best advice I can give you is to control your portion intake and eat more times a day.

Mark asks…
How can I get six pack abs while still lifting weights and doing lots of cardio?
I do lots of cardio by playing sports, and I lately I’ve been lifting weights twice a week while taking whey and my arms have gotten quite a bit bigger. I have pretty low body fat and I’m pretty lean. What is the best way for me to get a six pack? Should I just continue my normal routine and do 30 situps a night or something? Thanks.
admin answers:
If you already have a low body fat percentage than doing situps and crunches will help you. Don’t go crazy with them. A lot of people go to the gym and fo hundreds of situps and crunches every day. They treat their abs differently from every other muscle in the body. Treat them the same as you would any other muscle and you will see improvements.

How to get a six pack without trying way too hard?
I just finished my wrestling season and i got a six pack from it. But they are not visible unless i flex. DOes anybody know an easy workout plan or suggestions of something i could do each day to make my six pack be there without flexing?
admin answers:
Your going to have to lose some of your body fat, so dieting will see better results. Eating 5-6 times a day will help as it will keep your metabolism fueled. I do a boot camp 3-4 time a week I got fitter but it never really showed, until I changed my diet.

Mandy asks…
How do you get a six pack without eating like a bird or a squirrel?
I want to eat damn it. I don’t like eating like those men’s fitness magazines where they tell you eat 2 spoons of raisins, 1 slice of wheat bread, and 2 spoons of nuts, and a 1/4 glass of orange juice for breakfast. Man, screw that I want to be able to eat like a human not a bird or a squirrel. Somebody give me advice on eating what you want to eat and still having that six pack. I’ll hit the gym hard to make up for what I eat is it possible?
admin answers:
Sure it’s possible to eat what you enjoy and work out at the gym. The trick is to EAT LESS of it.

Ruth asks…
How can i turn my six pack into an eight pack?
I have a six pack and am still trying to burn a little bit of fat off my abs, but how do I get an eight pack? Do i just keep training my abs, or intensify the training or what?
admin answers:
Neither.. You need to change your workout (the type of exercises) to get the definition and separate those um.. Parts.. Otherwise you’re just going to get a more defined six pack..
Don’t ask me how.. I’m a 4 pack, and content to stay there..
