For most men, I understand that getting a six-pack is a serious challenge. For some of you reading this, you just want to be lean, muscular, fit with flat fine abs (and if the six-packs come that would be cherry on top, but if it doesn’t…that’s okay still).

As a follow up to my personal workout and fitness recommendation which I shared earlier on this platform, today I’ll be sharing with you guys some tried-and-tested simple and easy workouts to help you get the ultimate six-pack of your dream. These tips work irrespective of whether you are a male or female. They have been specially designed to help you get those fine abs you’ve always wanted! 

FYI – There is no magic “Limitless” Mr. Cooper’s pill that is going to help you achieve a six-pack ab overnight. There’s no easy way to melt fat away from specific areas in your body.

I know you’ve read lots of articles that tell you that you can easily get a six-pack and build muscles fast in 7days…14 days…21 days but I hate to break it to you guys, the result you desire will only come gradually if you are willing to put in hard work, persistence, and discipline in your “Six Pack Abs” journey.

Another point you should take note of is that, exercise routines are not created equal, there are different routines for unique body goals you may have. Therefore, fundamentally, you need to know what kind of workout routines and lifestyle changes that are going to help you achieve your Six-Pack goal fast and easy. 

And reading this article right now is your first step towards reaching that goal.

 

Let’s start with your DIETING.

DIETING – What about it?

Definition: Dieting is the practice of eating food in a regulated and supervised fashion to decrease, maintain, or increase body weight.

Yeah, you’ve heard that term a thousand times, you’ve done everything, name them – Intermittent Fasting, Fruit Fasting, Fad diets, and you’ve even been diligent in your High Protein and Low Carbs diet and nothing worked!

Knowledge, Time, and Patience…these are three fundamental factors that are key to your achievement of your body goal.

Knowing the right diet plan and focusing on consistency when it comes to eating well and working out, will help you get there fast. But I assure you if you make it a lifestyle, then the result will be permanent. Definitely worth it!!

 

YOU NEED A SIX-PACK DIET & LIFESTYLE CHANGES

Lifestyle changes? Never heard of it?

Oh sure you have!

Six-pack diet?

Never heard of it?

Let me give you the full details…

First of all, if you want to burn fat and show the world your abs, a good diet is as important as exercise, if not more so. And this is where a lot of gentlemen get it wrong, you only do half the work. How can you get the full result if you only do half the work?

Now you know why that Six-pack is taking so long to be delivered at your doorsteps (sorry stomach-steps). Most blogs never tell you about dieting, but good thing you’re here to read this.

So, what’s the perfect diet for a six-pack?

It is important to note that this healthy choice should be part of your daily lifestyle, it is not a one-time thing. This is especially for those who are not willing to commit for the long haul.

Eat a lot of animal and plant protein foods like eggs, protein shakes, salmon, potatoes, chicken, etc.

So, what are some of the lifestyle changes you should make?

You need to work on some lifestyle changes like cutting down on alcohol and cigarette smoking and start drinking more water and eating smaller portions more often.

This is not such a bad idea, right?

If your answer’s yes (which I hope that it is) then next is Exercises – simple and easy workout routines to help you get a six-pack below.

 

5 Simple and Easy Workouts to Get a Six-Pack Abs Fast

1. Spiderman Press-up

To do the Spiderman Press-up, here are the steps to follow:

  • The first step is to get into the usual press-up position.
  • Then lower yourself toward the floor and bring your right knee to your right elbow, keeping it off the ground.
  •  Lastly, push back up and return your leg to the starting position. Repeat with the alternate leg.

 

This exercise targets your core – your chest and triceps like any other press-up because you’re only being supported on three points of contact when you move your leg forward, your abdominals and other core muscles have to work harder to maintain stability.

 

2. Oblique Crunch

To do the Oblique Crunch, here are the steps to follow:

  •  First, sleep on your back with your knees bent and feet laid flat on the floor. Put your right hand behind your head, elbow flared out, and your left palm down perpendicular to your torso.
  • Secondly, contract your abs to lift your shoulders off the floor and rotate your body to bring your right elbow towards your left knee.
  • Then you can slowly lower them and repeat a few times before swapping sides. Do this for 2 minutes.

3. Sit-up

To do the Sit-up, here are the steps to follow:

  • The first thing to do is to lay down on the floor with your knees bent, you can hook your feet under something that will prevent them from moving.
  • Then, place your hands behind your head and tense your core as you lift your torso up so your upper body forms a V shape with your thighs.
  • After following step 2, lower under control back to the start position.

 

4. Star Plank

To do the Star Plank, here are the steps to follow:

  • Begin from a press-up position, then walk your palms and toes out and away from your body until they form an x-shape.
  • Then brace your core to keep a flat line from your head to your hips and toes. Stay still for the required time then walk back to a normal press-up position.

This exercise engages your entire body as your core works to center yourself. Your whole body needs to be held in place by your core for the duration of the exercise. Brutal, I know. But the pain will be worth it in the end…

 

5. Side Planks

To do the side planks, here are the steps to follow:

  •  First, lie on your left side with your knees straight and prop your upper body up to take its weight on your forearm.
  • Then, brace your core and raise your hips until your body forms a straight line.
  • After doing this, the next step is to hold this position while breathing deeply. Once done, you can rollover and repeat on the other side for just 1 minute.

This exercise helps the muscles by supporting the lower back and preventing back pain in later life. So straighten up by lying down!
