Six Pack Abs: Everyone Wishes
The six pack fever.
The media has everyone in a frenzy to get a six pack abs set. I thought I may shed some light for you folks wanting the 6 pack so badly. It is extremely difficult to do, diet is crazy and essential. It is not just a matter of some fancy workout apparatus doing it constantly and you will have a 6 pack. You have to stay on a constant lean diet that basically sucks. Those folks you see on TV or videos who got them are paid to do so. It is their job, and how they make their money. Normal folks at some point want a life, want to eat some decent food, and abs don’t stay around long. It is very difficult to maintain 6% or less body fat. So, be realistic here and be aware.
A lot of the supermodels and actors we see are genetically gifted with a great midsection. They might not have to work as hard as the normal person to achieve the results we see. However, leading up to a motion picture or photo shoot, a lot of them go on a crazy diet and training regimen. What we see is usually only temporary, then back to normal. It’s nice to see a well developed core, but again, these results usually don’t last forever.
To add to this, one must be happy with their current muscular size, because to achieve the six pack you certainly cannot gain any muscle anywhere, and one must realize that if you have bird legs and arms, a six pack is not going to make you look great. In fact looks silly in most cases.
Just keep it simple. Train as regularly as you can and have a healthy food! You will slowly and gradually get your desired result.

As long as I don’t get fat I don’t care about my abs.
Nice article.

That’s some really good advice. I’m glad you advised against the hard dieting and crazy exercise. Healthy food and a routine with moderate exercise goes a long way. You should never push yourself too hard. Great article and points. Thanks, Joystick. God bless.

consistency is the key, the moment you stop going to the gym fats build up so fast

Well—-I’m a food lover–can’t go on a diet unless someone holds me on gunpoint . Very good article–sometimes regular people don’t realize that celebrities are basically forced to stay fit –they have to do it like you said is their job–

Very truthful write. My nephew had a great body and then had a time of not looking out for intake and exercise. He lost the firmness.

I am so glad I don’t have the problem
I eat anything I want and as much of it … and keep my abs and 6.8% bodyfat … probably ecause eating and drinking don’t make fat?

LOL. Yeah, the minute you stop exercising you lose the abs. But (quite often) you don’t lose the skin so you can actually end up with sagging skin. That prospect, along with pure laziness probably, has successfully persuaded me not to get abs…

Right you are, A good healthy diet and exercise is what you need to feel good and be healthy. To do more you must be willing to work your buns off. Take care,Ruby

Never cared much for those spectacular abs anyway, and as I get older I care less about exercise. That makes me think it would really be easy to get fat if I had worked at trying to keep abs when I was young.
Thanks for a wonderful article Joystick.
