Sis Pack Abs Measure-Up Time

You are done all the procrastinating, and have decided your're serious about proceeding with The Truth About Six Pack Abs exercise program, and it's now time to get on with the first step-which is weigh-in.  I've got my bathroom scale battery changed, and were done making excuses about why we should hold off just a little longer,--and here goes.

Well, let's see here, being that i'm of the slender build, and I stand at 5ft. 11in. tall, my weight shows in at 170 lbs; which for me, is probably about right for my height and age.  Being that I'm middle-aged, and my energy level, and metabolism have both slowed down, I'm going to have to watch my diet closely, and exercise more- in order to achieve those six pack abs.  Oops!  Almost forgot to measure that mid-section, my tape measure shows me at 35 inches around the belly. 

Let's be honest with ourselves folks, there's no one watching, so we don't have to suck in that gut while measuring.  You want an accurate reading, so you can record your progress on a chart.  This way, you can monitor how well, or how quickly your're going to see those abs of steel. 

So, what are your stats?  They might not be too impressive at this point, but that's why you have decided to follow The Truth About Six Pack Abs program in the first place.  This system will teach you what diet and nutrition plan you should be following, and the exercises you will be practicing as well.  This is the very reason-and abs workout program that will get you the results you expect.

In future posts, we'll discover in more detail the specific diet plan and various exercise proceedures to follow.  The different levels of physical fitness, and age factors, and gender, etc.-that we are all at any given time, will determine how we proceed.  This program will work for you, no matter what stage of the game you are at.

The Six Pack Abs Weigh- in and Measure Up Step

OK, so you've decided that your're going to take the plunge-and follow The Truth About Six Pack Abs program along with me.  Now what?  It's weigh- in and measure up time!

Yeah, we gotta pull out that dusty old bathroom scale from under the sink, or from behind the toilet, or where-ever the thing has been hiding.  We've been so scared to use it-(because it always lies anyway), that we forget where the all-elusive thing is.  Well, mine is under my clawfoot tub in the bathroom, covered in dust and who knows what else.  (I'll call it crud).  So, I drag it out to the middle of the bathroom floor and take a deep breath, and suck in my future abs of steel, and step on the thing--and nothing happens.  Oh yeah, it's electronic, I have to tap on the corner first-with my toe, and wait for it to turn itself on.  What a lucky break--it turns out that the battery's dead, from sitting so long, I guess.

Lucky for me, I have no batteries in the house, and I'm not going to town anytime soon.  So I'll procrastinate for a few more days, until i get the scale working.

Does all this sound familliar?  Many of us find that the hardest part of starting an abs workout program, is simply getting motivated in the first place.  We say things like, "I'll start after the weekend" (because we've got that party to attend),-or "I'll start after the holidays",-or "when I'm finished that big box of cookies",-or whatever the excuse may be. 

But once we actually get started with The Truth About Six Pack Abs exercise program, you'll wonder why you didn't begin sooner.  You simply have to stop procrastinating, and motivate yourself to get on with it, and you'll be well on your way to achieving a leaner body, and your own sexy set of six pack abs.

In my next blog post, I promiss to have my bathroom scale fixed, and we'll do the weigh-in (really)!  Be sure and have a tape measure handy also, because we're going to measure that belly as well.

Proper Six Pack Abs Diet and Eating Habits

vPerhaps the most important aspect of The Truth About Six Pack Abs exercise program is our diet and eating habits. You can be on the best exercise program in the world, but if you have a bulging layer of fat on your stomach, you will never see those six pack abs anyway.

This will obviously mean we're going to have to change the types of foods we eat, and also how we eat those foods that we do choose. You will have to consume less saturated fats and carbohydrates in your diet-and include more protein.

Foods to avoid that are high in saturated fats are deep fried foods such as french-fries, or deep fried onion rings, or deep fried chicken. Junk foods to avoid are doughnuts and candies, or potatoe chips and carbonated soft drinks, or sugar cereals and cookies, because these are all very high in calories and sugar content-and all of which accumulate right on the mid-section.

You have to realize that nutrition and proper diet are probably more important than the Truth About Six Pack Abs exercise program itself. Bad dietry habits are the number one reason why most of us will never have a set of six pack abs. You can exercise and pump iron all you want, but if your're not going to reduce your food consumption or the poor choice of foods you do eat, then it will be a losing cause. You could be in good physical condition (maybe), but your body fat just won't be reduced enough to ever see those abs of steel.

If you knew what damage these junks foods are doing to the inside of your body, maybe it would be easier for you to quit eating them. For instance, certain types of processed junk foods can disrupt your hormonal balance, or cause your internal organs to mis-function, or promote cancer. Worst of all, junk food can actually stimulate your belly to store even more fat. Maybe knowing all this will help you to stop eating all that unecessary junk food.

Maybe if you can see the negative effects that some of these junk foods are actually doing inside your body, it might just get you turned off enough to not wanting them or craving them anymore. Thus, you would then have a better chance of replacing those junk foods with healthy, more nutritious food choices in your quest for a beautiful set of six pack abs.

Now that your're possibly convinced to eating less junk food, you should be concentrating on eating more protein--because protein is what your muscles need to grow. Foods that are high in protein are eggs and fish such as cod, tuna, and salmon, or cottage cheese and most dairy products, or most fruits and vegetables, and whole, un-refined grains or sweet potatoes. Also-meats such as chicken breast, lean ground turkey and beef, or buffalo meat are all high in protein too.

Always remember that it's better to eat 5 or 6 smaller meals, rather than just the customary 2 or 3 that most of us usually eat. This alone will speed up your metabolism and promote faster weight loss--and will burn up calories faster. The Truth About Six Pack Abs program that I follow will show you in detail how to accomplish your goals of having a well toned body.

Finding a Good Six Pack Abs Program

Deciding on a good exercise program can be a mind boggling experience in itself. There are so many programs out there to choose from, how do we know which one is best for us personally? I chose The Truth About Six Pack Abs because it's my own personal desire to get myself back into fine physical condition, and this is the program that I believe will help me in my quest for my own Six Pack Abs.

My interest in the program is simply my own personal desire and determination to improve my current physical condition. I don't have any career attributes such as PHD'S or Physical Fitness training courses-or anything of that nature, I just want to share what I have learned about this exercise program with you.

If you follow along with me, we can learn together just what it takes to achieve our goals of getting a nice set of Six Pack Abs.

First, we will need to know a little bit about ourself, and our own personal situation. I'm a middle aged (young guy)-just trying to keep myself in good shape. Not just because I want to look good-but because it makes me feel confident and it's also great for my health. Like you, (maybe), I desire to look better than I do right now-so I decided to take action and join The Truth About Six Pack Abs program, and do something about it.

It is my goal to have a set of those Abs of Steel. A set of strong abdominal muscles will also contribute to keeping your back straight and firm, and pain-free, which in turn leads to a sturdy spine and all round good physical form and good posture.

On a more personal side, I was involved in a serious motor vehicle accident three years ago, that inflicted multiple and serious injuries to my upper legs and pelvic region, and also to my lower back area. I mention this because it is my intention to get back to my pre-accident level of physical condition, which was really quite good (for my age). I have kept myself in good shape all my life, and now I wish to re-gain that fine physical form-and you can too, just by following The Truth About Six Pack Abs program that i am using.

In my case though, I must be very careful not to over-do myself with an exercise program, for fear of re-injuring myself. That is why you must also look at your personal situation, to see what you can -or should endure in a physical fitness program. It's a very good idea to make sure with your family doctor or physical therapist to see if they think you are capable enough to endure a body toning program without causing further damage to yourself.

If you are in reasonable good condition to start with, you should be OK anyway. But if you feel your're not sure, then by all means, get a professional opinion first-before attempting a Six Pack Abs program.
