I have been working as a Sacramento personal trainer and studio owner for over 20 years now. In my time I have watched people striving for that elusive six pack ab development more now than ever before. Just on the internet alone I have watched tons of potions, gimmicks, gadgets and tricks being sold by the boat loads. Most of that stuff is plain old junk and not worth the investment of the time nor the money.
Well, let me give you some straight truth about how to develop six pack abs that will snap necks as folks turn to look at you.
1. Here are some hard cold facts for developing six pack abs. You must have a good diet program and do aerobic exercise and work your abs very hard (no short cuts), to create a set that you can be proud to show off. Bodybuilders spend hours and hours in the gym and endure horrendous dieting and do tons of aerobics to melt down a long distance runner to get theirs. There are no short cuts. Sorry. As that old saying goes “train hard or go home” it really does apply to getting six pack abs.
2. Lack of focus while training your abs. I have not only been a personal trainer but I also taught aerobic classes for over 24 years. I have seen people doing what should be grueling ab workouts just flopping around on the floor without focusing on each rep. When you train your stomach muscles you must focus your entire concentration on each rep that is performed. You must squeeze and get all of the muscles to contract, otherwise your just flopping around like a fish out of water.
3. Every old school trainer has secrets so here is one of mine. When you wake up in the morning do your ab workout on top of your bed. That is do crunches right there on your bed. Why? Well, your bed will conform to the shape of your lower back and prevent that rebound effect that the floor creates. This will make your ab workout safer on the lower back but also much harder. At least 3 times a week I keep my laptop next to my bed and do one of my recorded with music ab workout programs. This has the effect of jump starting your day and you get the ab workout over with so that you can focus your energy on other body parts for your weight training workouts. It’s hard to train abs effectively at the end of a grueling weight workout.
So, there you have it, my top 3 tips for developing six pack abs in record time. Remember there are no short cuts and as my parents taught me “nothing good ever came easy.” Amen to that cause I have certainly found that to be the truth in the 20 plus years I have been a personal trainer to folks from housewives to body builders.
