These are really good tips. I’m (still) struggling to lose the baby weight from my twins that are now 6. My excuse I’m sure is the same as many others that I have no time, but not having time didn’t stop me from putting the weight on. I am tracking my progress which seems to help along with setting small, reasonable goals. I also am walking the kids to school every morning that I can (usually 3 days minimum). Thanks again for the additional tips and validating some of what I am already doing.

Thanks for the comments. As you say many people think it’s easy to get a good body but if it was that easy everyone would have one.

I especially like this line you said “but there is always a way for you to get six pack abs if you are willing to work hard for it”. Many people just give up on the exercise routine and think that its easy to get their ideal body. You got to work hard to achieve desired results. Thanks for sharing.

This post needs to be spread far and wide! Good summary! A lot of people just hope that a six pack or flat stomach will just “happen” to them with just one element of good diet or exercise. What needs to be done is a combination of mainitaining a good diet and exercise routine. And those electrodes are just the easy way out!

Hey John. Thanks for the comments. You are right that it’s impossible to maintain the picture perfect abs that people sport in these photos. However, I wouldn’t say it’s unrealistic to have six pack abs all year round. I know some people who manage to maintain this. Granted they aren’t as ripped as the models in photos but they still have a pretty good set.

People want the 6 pack they see on those before and after pictures. Good for motivation in a way but it is not realistic. The photos you see are of people who have endured severe diets and lack of water to get that ripped for few hours around a photo shoot.
They are at a very low body fat percentage that cannot be maintained for any prolonged period. Very low body fat will mess with your health.

Thanks for the feedback Matt. Totally agree. There’s a lot of people out there looking for a quick fix when it comes to diet and exercise. Weight loss pills are another example of this.

A men to this post Nick/Tom!

One of the “myths” that often brings a smile to my face is when I see the adverts promoting the electronic ab stimulators where by they stick on some electrodes and have the abs being contracted by electricity.

Obtaining Six pack abs is achieveable by everyone – unfortunately there are many that want the look but are not prepared to put in the time, effort and dedication.

Be Well
