Getting Ripped Abs
About 90% of ripped abs is learning how to eat correctly. We’ve all got those abs, but they’re covered with subcutaneous fat. If you want to see ripped abs, all you’ve got to do is remove the fat. Easier said than done. A poor diet can’t be out trained. We can easily consume more calories than we can burn off.
Is being healthy and ripped more important to you 24 hrs a day than a few minute taste test.
Want ripped abs? Then start eating natural food that is nutritionally rich and low in calories. And consume fewer calories that you burn off. The process of getting ripped abs will invariably take longer since it’s likely that you have more fat stored in that area.
Be patient and stay on track. The speed on which you can get to your goal will depend on how much you stick to your plan. Do understand that it is okay to cheat.
You’ll do just fine if you stick to your plan 90% of the time.
42 meals a week comes to 6 meals a day. If you are on the 90% plan, that will allow you to cheat on 4 meals a week.
You can cheat within reason. On these cheat meals, it is not okay to pig out and eat too much. Allow yourself some of things you like that are not on the menu. And if you skip a meal, that is also cheating.
Regular exercise is also another part of burning more calories.
Strength and cardio are both necessary.
It is also recommended that you do strength training whether it’s with body weight or some resistance tool.
Increasing your lean muscle mass will cause your body to burn more calories while resting.
I recommend choosing to do high intensity interval training (HIIT) over steady state low intensity cardio for cardiovascular training. Advantages include a boost of stamina, more calories burned even after the you’ve finished as well as build muscles. When you go anaerobic during cardio, your body will burn carbohydrates. During your rest for the next 24 hours or so, your body will dip into its fat stores to replace the carbs it needs for fuel. So you get the advantage of burning fat for the following 24 hours after intense interval training.
Doing a low intensity steady state cardio tends to waste muscle and only burn fat while you’re doing it with no afterburn.
Ponder this, would you rather look like a sprinter or a marathoner? It’s a no brainer for me, I’ll take the sprinter, looks better and is more functional.
Most sports that you play and things that you do are done in short bursts with recovery periods, rather than long low intensity marathons.
There are a number of ab exercises that you can do in addition to other body parts. I believe the best ab work is the functional type where you’re on your feet and you’re making your abs work to connect the upper passenger unit of your body to the lower locomotor unit. Most athletes are weak in this area. By working your abs you will also increase their size and make them stand out more.
In summary; eat clean and take in less calories than you expend during rest and use exercise to produce a higher calorie deficit.
