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 bad 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 get rid of more calories than you ingest. Getting ripped abs is likely to take longer than getting ripped arms since you might have more fat in that area.

Be patient and stay on track. The less you cheat on your eating plan the sooner you will get to your goal. 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.

To burn more calories, you will also have to consider exercising.

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. Build muscles, boost stamina and burning more calories 24 hours after finishing are only some of its advantages. 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.

Think about it, which body would you rather have, the sprinter or the 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.
