teaches you how to get ripped abs in 7 steps

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Step1
The more you do abs the more you over train them what really helps you get it is the kitchen, by watching your diet been low in cholesterol, and not eating fattening foods.
Step2
sit-ups allow constant tension in your back
Step3
I can eat fattening meals because if I workout, I can burn if off. Most people don't workout long enough to burn even half of the calories they ate. The unburned excess will more than likely become fat. You can combat this problem by working out on an empty stomach. This allows your body to burn its own fat as fuel, since carbohydrates aren't readily available.
Step4
If I use weights with abdominal exercises my abs will show up better. Don't waste your time! Weights provide no additional benefit to your abs. Abdominals will never bulge like the leg or pectoral muscles will. Abs "barely" increase in size when you train them. To get your abs to show up better, you have to sculpt them. The sculpting of the abs is done through strip-away-fat dieting, not heavier weights
Step5
I'll have to go on a strict diet to get good abs. Nope! Through the use of simple diet modifications, anyone can turn their abs into a chiseled work of art. Use my basic, but highly effective abdominal dieting techniques: Cut sodium, cut calories, lower fat, lower sugar, exercise, and drink water. There are still ways to enjoy what you eat using these modifications. You don't necessarily have to "diet." You just have to know when you can eat certain foods. Be creative. It works!
Step6
Fat burners will help me burn fat around my abs. You're better off buying two candy bars instead. Although they can be effective, fat burners do not target specific areas of the body. Fat is burned throughout the entire body. Plus, the "best" fat burner is the food you eat! It's all in the diet
Step7
I must train abs for hours for them to be defined. Absolutely not! Long workouts provide no additional benefit to your abs. It will only cause you to get weaker as a result of over training. It should take less than 20 minutes per abdominal training session. Less is better!

Tips & Warnings

  • sit-ups The only reason I don't recommend them is because they're a waste of form when you can do crunches and get the same results.

on 10/15/2007 Once again, sounds like great tips to me, but I'm not a body builder, maybe if I was a lot younger. I'm sure these are great tips for the guys.
