How To Create Awesome Abs, Just Like The Models You See In The Magazines

By Todd Elliott

Dear Friend,

Do you wish that you had a flat mid section?

Do you want to learn how to get rid of that 'Beer Belly' or 'Pooch'?

Do you envy the abdominal muscles of fitness and bodybuilding models that you see in magazines?

I am sure that you answered a boisterous YES to all the above questions, just like hundreds of other fitness minded individuals that I surveyed. What I am about to reveal to you has help hundreds of my current and former clients, achieve the results that they desired in short period of time.

These simple strategies can be immediately implemented into your lifestyle with little sacrifice on your part. Just remember that your body is a living and breathing computer. To reprogram your body to do your bidding, you must give it new information, and plenty of time to adapt to it. The key factor is CONSISTENCY!

With that said lets get to it???

But before we do, I want to let you know you can easily obtain even more health and fitness advice from a certified expert on a regular basis by requesting a free subscription to my newsletter. You can get your subscription via email by visiting my web site at: www.bodbytodd.com

  1. You must train your mid section in the order that the muscles fatigue. The abdominal area is composed of four different sections. The lower abdominal area, the side abdominal area near the side the middle abdominal area, and the upper abdominal area. These are listed in fatigue order. If you train them in any other sequence, you'll develop a strength imbalance in you abdominal area. The 'Pooch', as women call it, is a prime example of a strength imbalance.

  2. You must target all four sections of your mid section specifically with every training session. One of the most common mistakes people make when trying to get in shape is they rely on a single machine or exercise. Each section must have an exercise exclusively for that muscle. For example: For the lower area, perform Hanging Knee Raises; for the side area, perform Side Sit Ups; for the middle area, perform Crunches; and for the upper section, perform High Reaches.

  3. Abs are just like any other muscle group, use weighted resistance and the will eventfully become bulkier. If your goal is a toned, flat and attractive mid section, you need not concern yourself with weighted movements. Your own body weight is will provide you with plenty of resistance to assist you in achieving you goal. So my people think that using, say dumbbells, to execute a side bend to develop the oblique area, will speed up the process. Usually, what happens is they either wind up with an injury or a thicker waist (i.e. 'Love Handles').

  4. You will never see those tone abdominal muscles unless you melt away the fat that sits on top of them. To get a firm and trim waistline, you must have relatively low body fat in that area. To achieve that, consider these three factors:

    • Proper Nutriton: If your waistline has more fat on it, then you can help to decrease it by eating a balanced meal (containing lean protein, strarchy and fiberous carbohydrates), every 3-3 1/2 hours. This will help balance your blood sugar and put your body in a state to release and then burn unwanted body fat.

    • Resistance (Weight) Training: It's no secret, weight training promptes muscle growth. Although some people don't want to gain muscle size, everyone should have a concern for gaining muscle. You see, muscle is the cataylst for fat burning. The more lean muscle you have, the more effective your body becomes at getting rid of fat.

    • Moderate Aerobic Activity: Another great way to help rid the unwanted body fat is aerobic activity. Assumming that you blood sugar is stable, moderate aerobic exercise will realease more fat to be burned. Once you have been exercising for 20 minutes, you are now burning fat more efficiently, so anything you do over 20 minutes is ideal for decreasing fat in the waistline. If you're just starting an exercise program, start with 20 minutes of aerobic activity two to three times per week and work your way up to 30 to 50 minutes three to five days per week. If you work out now and want more results on your waistline, factor in an increase of aerobic activity. You can increase how often you do aerobic activity (frequency) and you can increase how long you do aerobic activity (duration).

There you have it. Five of my secrets to obtain that flat stomach that you have always desired. Trust me! It's very simple to bring out your washboard. All you have to do is implement the tips that you just read and stay focused. You will be amazed how fast you will see results. Good luck!
