The Secret to Flat Abs Exercises

Getting a ripped six pack takes more then just a few sit ups each night before you go to bed. Knowing which flat ab exercises will produce the best results will help you reach your goals faster.

This article will share with you the 3 truths about Flat abs exercise and why crunches aren't the fastest way to a flat stomach and six pack abs.

Don't Just Focus on your Abdominals

You might not know this but there are a lot of exercises you can do at the gym which are not primarily flat ab exercises but will strengthen your core and your abs.

Consider lunges, squats, and deadlifts.

Each of these movements require you to keep your upper body stable as you move up and down. What do you think keeps you stable? It's your abdominals/core. Doing these types of exercises doesn't only help to shape and tone your abs, but they also help reduce your body fat percentage so you can see those great flat abs.

This concept was introduced to me in a book called The Truth about 6 Pack abs. The author, a certified personal trainer, explains how we just doing crunches and sit ups won't get us the flat stomach we're after. It takes traing not only to build you abs, but also to reduce your body fat percentage to get flat abs.

Eat Right

Don't waste all that hard work you do in the gym by rushing out for a burger and fries. Do some research, learn how to properly structure a diet for six pack abs and get the right nutrition so you can reach peak performance.

Some simple tips for this are:

• Cut out all processed foods
• Reduce your intake of high sugar foods as well as high fat foods
• Try eating 5 smaller meals each day rather then 3 larger ones (this will help cut down on snacking)
• Eat more fruits and vegeatables, do this consiously
• Drink more water, 6-8 glasses a day minumum

I know diet isn't directly related to exercise, how ever when we're talking about getting flat abs it has just a much to do with it. This concept was also introduced to me by The Truth about Abs book (a book I strongly suggest you read if you're serious about getting a 6 pack).
