Secrets of a 6 pack

The coveted 6 pack. Everyone wants one. But are they hard to achieve? Well they can be, but with commitment and dedication everything is achievable.

The key though is not performing hundreds of crunches and sit ups or buying the latest "six pack device". Instead it revolves around your diet and the type of training you perform.

Firstly if you have a great deal of body fat over your stomach you will never see a 6 pack. In order to lower body fat you need get your diet in check. I recommend John Berardi's Precision Nutrition. This is a great program and has been proven to work time and time again by fitness professionals as well as clients the world over.

Secondly comes the training required to lower body fat and gain lean muscle mass. Well I have said it before and I will say it again. There is nothing better for lowering body fat than performing full body resistance training followed by an interval session. The intervals can be performed on any piece of cardio equipment, outdoors or my favourite by performing barbell complexes. I took the ides for complexes from Alwyn Cosgrove. Using a fixed weight on one barbell you would complete 6 reps of 6-8 exercises with no rest. Then you would have 90 seconds rest and repeat 4-6 times. Trust me when I say this but it is a killer workout and will get you in shape in no time.

Give this a go and let me know how you get on. Remember get your diet in check 90% of the time and perform 3 strength sessions and 3-4 interval sessions and you will have the best set of abs to get yo the beach with. Enjoy.
