Hi everyone!
The key on how to get a six pack is really not on how many ab exercises or crunches you do. The key to getting a six pack is diet and bodyfat reduction.
It may surprise some people but everyone has a six pack in their body. The problem is that for most people it is covered up by skin and fat. The only way to see your abdominal muscles is to reduce your bodyfat. For men, typically you will need to reduce your bodyfat percentage to between 8% to 12% bodyfat to start seeing your abs. For women it is a bit different and typically women will see their abs if they bodyfat percentage is lower than 17%.
In order to lower your bodyfat percentage you need to first focus on your diet. You need to dramatically reduce your intakes of fat, sugar and complex carbohydrates. You need to consume foods that are high in protein and complex carbohydrates. You need to eat fruits and vegetables and you need to drink plenty of water.
It is unrealistic to think that you are going to be able to eat healthy for every single meal you consume. I therefore suggest that each day you eat 5 moderate size meals. The healthier the meal, the more you can eat. This 5 meal a day plan will result in 35 meals per week. If you can make sure to try and eat 30 healthy meals per week, this will ensure you are on the right path to getting a six pack. You will then have 5 meals to play around with that can be less healthy.
Circuit training workouts and cardio are the type of exercises you are going to want to do to lower your bodyfat percentage. You want to do exercises that help you increase strength and power as well as push you and enhance your muscular endurance.
A healthy diet combined with circuit training and cardio is the key to drooping your bodyfat percentage and are the essence on how to get a six pack!
