Read 1st part here:ABS:BEST TRAINING AND DEFINITION Tips and secrets for perfect abs:) Don’t embark on your trip for ripped abs unless you are totally prepared on the mental part. Mind dominates body.2) Diet is the king when it comes to abs definition. Eat wholesome, unprocessed, nutritional foods taking care to create a slightly negative caloric balance.Avoid all limiting and fad diets. Just use plain logic.3) Lay special emphasis on high quality protein, fibrous vegetables and monounsaturated and omega-3 fats.4) Try to avoid spikes in your sugar blood and insulin levels by spreading your calories into 5-6 equivalent meals and consuming foods with low glycemic index and load.5) Do your strength training with an emphasis on free weights and exercises that recruit big muscle groups and more than one joints. Use minimal breaks between sets. Give an aerobic tint to your workout.6) Push ups are ideal for abs training. Try circuits with total bodyweight exercises.They are excellent for fat loss, a really superb combination of strength training and aerobics!7) You have to dispose of your midsection fat layer in order to highlight your abs.If you are very fit, try H.I.I.T. It’s the best investment for your time.If not, try 30′ cardio sessions at about 75% of your MHR.Avoid at all costs slow, endless cardio sessions. They are not effective and could send you to the grave (from boredom).8) You don’t have to do any focused abs training. If, however, you insist, the best exercise is by far hanging leg raises (If you manage to do it right!!!).9) Forget about supplements e.g. miraculous pills, magic potions and mystic powders. Don’t be suckered!Forget also about any type of passive exercise(vibration plates included).10) The same is valid with all abs gadgets. You can buy them as toys for your children but please don’t lose your valuable time with them. It doesn’t stop to amaze me how people are open to deceitful claims and promises. I guess it is a strong,innate desire for effortless solutions.11) When you see or hear words or phrases as the following :- quick- 5 minutes- easy- simple- instant- 4 weeks- get ready for summer- summer abs…you had better discard the relevant article, book, workout etc. and run away!EPILOGUEWe have seen that the main “secret” for ripped abs is a low body fat percentage.My friendly exhortation:Don’t be obsessed with the elusive six-pack abs. You will have to hit one digit body fat percentages – I speak for men – and this is something your face won’t appreciate at all!Aim at being healthy, fit and functional. Leave six pack definition for the models!Chris Strogilis
