How can I get the ripped ab look?


Question:
I would love to get abs where you can see the muscle definition, not just have a flat stomach, I want a "six pack"...Right now I'm a bit out of shape, how can I go about getting shapely abs? Please don't just answer "crunches", I already know that...I need to improve my techniqe!

Answers:
Hi there! What you probably don't realize is that six-pack abs aren't 'created' by doing ab exercises...they already exist. The reason most individuals can't see their abs is because they're covered by a layer of fat. What this means is that:
Doing ab exercises to achieve a six-pack is an impossible goal. The only way to see your six-pack is to reduce your body fat. The best way to reduce your body fat is with cardio, strength training, and a healthy, low-calorie diet. However, this doesn't mean that ab exercises serve no purpose...Strong abs support your spine and protect your back. Try to remember that an ab workout is just one part of a complete program when it comes to getting a six-pack.
