When it comes to physical appearance, many men dream of getting six-pack abs. Even though age should not prevent men from getting six-pack abs, they need persistence and steady plan of diet and exercising. Although six-pack abs should replace a belly fat on the man’s abdomen, it is not enough to exercise only abdominal muscles. According to fitness experts, to develop well-shaped six-pack abs, it is necessary to train other groups of muscles that support abdominal ones. These are, in the first place, quads and hamstrings. It is also worth training a chest muscle group. Experts further suggest combining weight lifting with cardio training. According to them, we should include jogging, running, or cardio workout as regular training schedule and practice three times a week. For those who do not have a time, they recommend an everyday daily walk for 30 minutes. Six-pack abs serve our body as the great support when we are in the upright position. Thus, making six-pack abs has nothing to do with a sedentary lifestyle. If we want to get six-pack abs faster, then the article “How Long Does It Take to Get 6-Pack Abs?” gives us some practical tips.

1. To have abs, you need to get down to about 7% bodyfat. Calculate how many pounds fat 7% would be. For example if you weigh 100 pounds, you can only have
7 pounds of fat (100lbs X .07) if you want 6-pack abs.

2. Calculate the number of pounds bodyfat you currently have on your physique using my body fat calculator, and from step 1, calculate how many pounds fat
you have to lose. For example if the calculator says you currently have 20 pounds of fat and from step 1 you know that you need to get down to 7 pounds
of fat, you know you need to lose 13 pounds of fat.

3. Now see how long it will take to lose the required amount of fat. Use my weight loss calculator and use the maximum weight loss rate by selecting “20%
Caloric Reduction” as the goal in step 6. After entering all your other information, the calculator will tell you how long it will take to lose your fat.

Even though we can develop incredible six-pack abs, they can lie hidden behind the layer of abdominal fat. To uncover them, we need to melt this abdominal belt. For doing this, experts recommend a balanced diet with a lot of whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, and less processed food. Keeping our metabolism fast can also decrease abdominal fat. Having a rich and high-quality breakfast can be a good way to speed up our metabolism and prevent ourselves from overeating in the late hours. In this way, we can ensure that our every meal could be small and healthy. A balanced diet with regular meals will make miracles, not only for six-pack abs, but also for our overall health. If we add to this formula a good sleep and less stress, than our six-pack abs will be visible faster, and our mood will be significantly better. And then, we can quickly grasp the real meaning of the Latin phrase “Mens Sana in corpore sano”.
