The Secret to Six Pack Abs is to Stop Doing Ab Exercises and Do More Cardio

I'm amazed at how many people fall for the latest ab exercise equipment promotion. Its probably because there is a myth that the way to a flat sexy stomach is to do ab exercises. The truth is that the only way to have visible abs are to burn the layer of fat that hides them.

The simple solution is to eat less and exercise more. And exercise means getting your heart rate up to the fat burn level for at least 30 minutes. This can be accomplished by running, jogging, biking or swimming. The target hart rate depends on age, subtract your age from 220 and this will be your target hart rate.

Then figure that you should be in the 60 to 70 percent range of your target heart rate. So if you're 20 years old then your target hart rate would be 200. 60 percent of 200 would be 120. At 120 heart rate 85% of your calories would be burning fat.

The key with eating less is to eat smaller meals more often. Ideally 6 small meals a day. Each meal should include protein, carbohydrates and vegetables. Start with the vegetables then move on to the carbohydrates and proteins. Have a glass of water with each meal and slowly so you don't over eat.

Ideally you should never feel hungry. When the body is hungry it will start to slow down the metabolism and store fat. Of course you should avoid eating fast food. Drink a lot of water and eat lots of vegetables.
