6 Pack abs diet – how to get a six pack fast

Alexander says:

What you have to know first is that, contrary to popular belief, there is no such thing as "spot training". This means that ab workouts do not necessarily burn fat in the belly section. Any form of exercise that you do will burn fat all over your body, including your belly. In addition to weight lifting, cardio is the best thing that will help you get tone and lean. Apply the HIIT method (High Intensity Interval Training) for the best results. All this means is that, regardless of what type of cardio you choose, you have to perform it at a very high intensity for a short period of time, rest for a few seconds, and repeat. Ex. If you are a runner, then sprint all out for roughly 30 seconds, then jog or walk at a brisk pace for 2-3 minutes, and repeat several times. What this does is that it forces your muscles to start and stop quickly, keeping your body from adapting to your workout routine and thereby going into a "plateau", where your metabolism and fat burning capability slows down to conserve energy.

In terms of what type of cardio is best for burning fat, swimming is hands down the most efficient. I am a swimmer myself, and was consuming over 3500 calories a day just to keep from LOSING weight while I was racing. It also places the least amount of stress on your joints, and there’s nothing quite like oxygen deprivation to keep the blood pumping .
