Do you really need an expensive Ab machine?

Lets get to the point why pay 60 70 or even 80 dollars and more for something you can do at home on the floor. You dont have to be on the floor; you can be sitting at your kitchen table, at your desk, driving in your car, and even laying in your bed. What am I talking about your steps to six pack abs or smaller stomach.

Ok first with all those expensive ab machines comes a leaflet, booklet or a video. The first thing these tell you is to diet, eat healthy. Then they may tell you to do atleast 30 to 45 minutes of cardio a day. Which they are correct. If you spend all that money on a machine and not diet properly and get your recommended dose of cardio you are wasting your money. You can do crunches and situps all day long. Butt if you dont cut your fat intake and exercise your six pack abs will remain a keg.

So this is your steps to a perfect set of six pack abs, and it will not be easy.

Step one:
Eat Healthy and cut back your fats. Do not go on a fad diet, all 7 nutrients are as important as the next. (read more on nutrients here) The best diet and the only diet I will recommend is the 3 Hour Diet

Step two:
Get plenty of Exercise and Cardio.

Step three:
Do crunches until your stomach begs you to stop. When you wake in the morning before you get out of bed knock out about 60 crunches. Legs bent, feet flat on the bed, arms crossed over your chest, and raise your shoulders up enough to feel your stomach muscles working.

When you get up and head to work as you are driving tighten your stomach muscles. Yes you can drive like this. While at work if you are at a desk while sitting tighten your stomach and do 60 crunches real quick, yea while no one is looking. Then do this through out the day, 60 80 100 crunches every hour. Oh and make it habit. When you get up to use the restroom or run an errand tighten your stomach muscles while you are walking.

Then on your drive back home tighten your stomach muscles while you drive. Once you get home knock out another 60 real quick. Oh you dont have to lay down stand with you back against the wall and do a standing crunch. See the possibilities and opportunities are endless.

When you start your exercise routine I suggest taking about 45 minutes to an hour doing stomach exercises. Do atleast 4 sets of crunches, reverse crunches, oblique side crunches, and do atleast 60 to 100 hundred reps. At first do 40 to 60then raise the bar and go for broke.

I dont care what they tell you, getting a six pack is not easy. It takes a strict diet, cardio, and stomach exercise till it hurts.

Caution What ever you do, do not use weights to get rid of belly fat. The reason is when you add weights to your stomach routine it makes your stomach muscles get pump. This will then push your belly fat out making your belly look bigger. Then and only when your belly fat is gone I suggest using weight.
