I have been trying to achieve 6 pack abs and had a few questions. I try to run 5-6 times a week, i do weight lifting that works my chest, shoulders, biceps, triceps, back, etc. I also do ab workouts, crunches, some exercises on a medicine ball, bicycle, etc. I think my problem is diet. Can someone tell me a general meal plan throughout the day that will help me to achieve six pack abs. Also do protein bars help a lot, or do they work against you in any way?
It is hands down....your nutrition. You can roll around on a wheel or do a million and one crunches and never see much of any results.
Get your nutrition DOWN amigo. A little fact about the abs (rectus abdominus) .....you can't separate them into sections and attempt to work one area harder. So don't waste time trying.
The abs are part of the "core"....they protect your vital organs and work with all movements and against over rotation and stretching.
Number 1 exercise for the entire core is the deadlift.
yea..i can tell that my abs are fairly toned, but i need to lose the fat covering the muscles. I am not sure how to go about a daily nutrition plan...as far as specific suggestions of what to eat for meals and snacks throughout the day. I try to eat good but I am not educated on what foods are the best for losing that stomach fat that hides the abs. If anyone has a rough daily nutrition plan that will help me lose the fat hiding the abs please post it. Thanks.
last year b4 school started that was the problem with my abs but then i started cross country and running 5 days a week. in no time i got purdy ripped
so i suggest you start running my friend
i dont know why but yogurt and low sodium soups are supposed to be good foods to eat if youre working on your abs and waistline. Advoiding too much salt all together can help. also, gum can trigger bloating in your midsection because of the sorbitol in it.
Leg lifts are the best but like a few people said earlier the diet makes and breaks it. You can do all the leg lifts you want but with out the proper diet it wont show.
