How To Get Abs

The number one rule for a flat stomach is something that is seen on ever banner advertisement on every website, so it seems. These ads claim one trick or tip to instant fat loss. But what are they all on about? Is there one trick to fat loss?

Unless this one trick is to pick up a decent fat burning program and follow the program to the letter, I can’t really see one simple tip helping fat loss that much. However here is what I consider to be the “one major tip” to burning fat.

Bruce Lee himself said that nutrition is the key to getting and maintaining a tight waistline.

If there is one individual in history with a fabulous figure, it was Bruce Lee. He is still held in honor by many bodybuilders today as having one of the best physiques ever. If keeping an eye on our nutrition was good enough for him, it should be good enough for the rest of us!

This was a man who worked out constantly, doing everything from free weights to interval training, body weight exercises to full contact fighting. And he STILL claims that nutrition is important after doing a full days workout, every day. Now that is something to think about.

Recently I have been trying a new way of eating. A little more restrictive than normal. But after being pretty casual about my dietary habits and lifting weights for a while, I have decided to cut down body fat % again. I was interested in bulking up for some time, however now I am going to cut back. I am following a diet called the Cyclical Ketogenic Diet. Read the full diet/workout plan here. Now I have modified it slightly to fit my lifestyle, but part of a new diet or workout is that you adjust to suit, without compromising it.

I am attempting a major loss of fat from my body and have taken a before shot (I am terrible with cameras) and will take an after shot in 30 days and post them up in a blog post. I have been undertaking a bit of a bulk up for a couple of months by eating a lot and lifting heavy, but I have decided I want the cut six pack look back instead of bulking any more.

Nothing gets the fat melting like good hard interval training.

Interval training is something everybody should have in their workout plans. It is more efficient that typical cardio because it is far faster, it is more effective because it makes you work harder and faster causing more muscle breakdown, which increases metabolism, which burns fat

Now that you are positive Interval Training (or High Intensity Interval Training) is the key to fat loss, let me explain what it is.

HIIT is when you are alternating between periods of intense exercise and slow exercise with no breaks. For example, instead of going for a monotonous old run like every other joker does, try having a blast at HIIT next time you strap on your jogging shoes. This is exactly how I do it:

1. I pick a spot where there will be nobody around. My favorite is at a school nearby that has a 400 meter running track.
2. Hit the spot you have determined is best for your activity. I use this school because I sprint the 100 meters.
3. After you have stretched, go for a light jog for a couple of hundred meters at alternating paces and stretch your legs. Fling them up high and down low just to make sure that you are ready as you don’t want a busted muscle or bone.
4. Sprint the 100 meters as hard as your poor body can. Go all out. You might feel like you are going to face plant or slip backwards, but keep going. The idea is to sprint like an absolute mad man.
5. After you cross the finish line (it can be 100, 200, 300 meters, you choose) then you lower the pace right down to a light jog. I will do a light jog back to the start of the 100 meter track, then sprint again.

When I am doing this, I like to plan out in my head how many sprints I will do BEFORE I get to the track. If I leave it till I feel buggered, then I am probably going to throw in the towel at 3 sprints, instead of 10.

There is a whole lot about intense interval training in the free fat loss and six pack abs course that is available for absolutely nothing from my website.

Until next time, sprint like Usain Bolt on Meth gettin’ chased by his Momma around Jamaica

I slept in, I ate a crap breakfast, missed an appointment and look like hell.

Things have been tough lately. I didn’t get to sleep till 4am.

Whatever.

I know what it feels like to feel like this. I know this because this happens to me all the time. Sometimes I get stuck in a patch of life that seems really rough. People die, relationships fail, bosses can be cocks, things break, illnesses happen, families have troubles, wallets stay empty and the sight of  “Palmer Savings Account: -$1500 becomes too normal.. and the list goes on.

I am willing to bet that you reading this have difficulties too. If you don’t, then you must not be from the human being family.

Despite being human and having ups and downs, I think I managed to scrap the silver lining off todays thunderstorm cloud.

I realized how much time I spend fluffing around doing pointless crap that doesn’t add anything productive to my life, actually making me feel worse. Because I don’t know about you, but when I have a really unproductive day, sleep in and miss a workout, I feel worse than ever.

I am going to make a pact from today on to only focus on things that matter the most to me in my life and keep non-productive activities to a minimum.

You might wonder, what is this grid here for.

This grid is this year.2010.

We are nearly a quater through this grid.

How many of these grids do you have left?

When you can see your life before you on a collection of 40, maybe 50 or 60 grids. Something happens.

You start to wonder if it is worth sleeping in.

Does it really matter if you don’t watch the news, dramas on tv, every new movie, infomercials etc?

When you can’t be bothered working out, ask yourself these questions:

• What am I going to do instead? Is it something worthwhile that will improve my life?
• Why can’t I be bothered? Did I break up my routine?
• My workout will only be an hour, why is that so hard?
• Do I want to be a lazy slob?
• What is more important, being in exceptional health or slacking off for an hour?

Book in workouts in your journal or diary and stick them out. I always find that the hardest bit about a workout is starting, the rest gets easy after that.

Until next time, just start okay?
