What You Need to Get a Six Pack before the Summer!

By Caitlin Ryan

Well, the bikinis and board shorts are gracing the clothing stores. Are you excited about this summer's latest beach styles? Or are you worried that you will not find a swimsuit that flatters your body? Maybe you are not quite ready, but if you want rock hard, six pack abs without an ounce of body fat showing, then it is possible!

You have time to make this dream a reality. The only thing you need is a great six-pack ab program!

It is really not as difficult as it seems to achieve six pack abs and create a gorgeous body no matter how old you are. In the past, you may have made two common mistakes that lead to the failure of your six-pack ab program. One of these is the idea that hundreds of sit-ups or fancy ab gadgets will create six pack abs.

Well, the sit-ups are not going to work and you may as well plan to put the expensive, fancy ab machine out at your first garage sale! The problem is that no matter how much you build and firm your abdominal muscles, you will not be able to see them under the fat! You cannot spot-train your abdominal muscles and obtain a six-pack.

Maybe you fell prey to the other big mistake. Did you follow a very restrictive diet, do cardio like crazy and lose weight, only to be disappointed when you did not look quite like a fitness model in your bikini or board shorts?

You lose lean body mass, not body fat. A restrictive diet too low in calories lowers your metabolism and causes you to store more fat. Lengthy cardio sessions on little food depletes your lean body mass. You end up with a skinny, but flabby physique.

All that work and you are still going to have to buy the terry cloth cover-up or extra-large T-shirt to match the board shorts!

The Truth About Six Pack Abs can help you achieve the gorgeous, six-pack abs and lean, chiseled physique you desire. Michael teaches you everything you need to know AND gives you the tools you need. This abs program is not a magical, overnight transformation (nothing that really works EVER is), so you do not want to wait too much longer to get started.

It takes time to follow a good nutrition and exercise program in order to lose the belly fat and gain six-pack abs. That being said, a good ab program may take time, but it does not have to be painful. The exercises need to be realistic and efficient. The food you will be eating needs to be delicious and fun! The Truth About Six Pack Abs is just as doable as it is effective.

I have a little secret of Michael's that I will let you in on right now. If you add green tea or oolong tea to your meals, you will be able to increase your results. A powerful anti-oxidant in these teas called EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) can increase fat metabolism. When you drink either of these teas regularly, you will burn fat longer after a workout!

With Michael's program, you will not only achieve a ripped core, but his exercises and nutrition program are designed to benefit your entire physique. (Remember, those bikinis get smaller and smaller every year!) - 16004
