Fast 6 Abs Blog

A few months ago, I came up with a simple plan to see how much development my abs would get if I do this simple program for 1 month. If you haven’t read my post yet, you can check it out here One Month Abdominals Trial.

After one month, I noticed that while my strength around my midsection has increased by at least 10 times, my abs are still not showing up because of the layer of fat around them. However, the strength and flexibility gained were probably as good as any other times when my abdominals were well developed.

In terms of toning, I give it ten out of ten. My flabs and loose muscles are no longer there but are now replaced by well toned abs.

In evaluating my new abs strength, I got my 14 year old girl to punch my stomach as hard as she could. Before we started this program, she has managed to hurt the hell out of abs every time we do boxing practice at home. This time though, I could barely feel the power of her punches. While she’s only 14 years old, she’s no sloppy or weak puncher after all the boxing training she’s been doing all this time.

To give you an example of the strength I have gained, I never used to do more than 10 reverse curls because of my weak abdominals and hip flexor muscles. This time around, I can easily do 30 to 40 reverse crunches and in good form. Another example is the number of V-sits I have been able to do now.

While I am very disappointed about the surrounding layer of fat hiding my new developed abdominals, I am not discouraged. The next part of the exercise is of course to incorporate some more aerobics type of training to trim down the fat layers even more. For that, I will probably be doing skipping and jogging in between my abdominals training days.

So what does this exercise program tells me? Many things, one of which is that, you can easily build your abs in one month or less depending on your availability. My abs workout takes only 30mins each training session and anyone can find 30mins out of their day to put into abs training.

Most people when they look at you, forms their impression of your character or personality in the first few seconds. A fit physical appearance is admirable and makes people remember you better. This is not always true in all cases but in most cases, that will certainly be the case.

While the biceps and other muscles stands out more for a person because they are generally exposed body parts, the abdominals don’t get the same exposure. However, when it comes to walking around with your bare midsection, people will not help but admire your well defined sculpted abs.

Some will take your training of this body part as an obsession or an expression of your vanity. What they say wouldn’t matter but, there is a lot more, well formed abs should tell other people about you. So what if you are vain, that’s not the worst thing that can happen besides no one in this world, I am sure, is not vain about one thing or another.

I hope you are training your abdominals for sports fitness or health rather than just to show them off, but that’s entirely up to you. The benefits of having a well toned body and abs are immense. Regardless of your primary reason for doing it, the benefits to your posture, general well being, health, self confidence and self esteem should never be under-estimated.

It is generally accepted, and there are researches which supports this viewpoint, that people with well formed abdominals are considered to be fitter than an average bloke. Whether they are really fit, and we wouldn’t know just by looking at a person’s abs is another story altogether.

People need to be accept the fact that being fat don’t look cool, period. Beer belly and love handles don’t look cool regardless of which angle the camera is pointing from. The only way of looking cool is to burn off the fat layers surrounding your mid section and developing the abdominal muscles that are hiding behind this fat layer.

The next time your so called well intentioned friends take the piss out of you for being obsessed with your abs training, tell them to go get a life. If anything, they should be supporting yuo and/or following you to do something about their pathetic looking abdominals.
