Achieving ripped abs is 90% eating correctly. We’ve all got those abs, but they’re covered with subcutaneous fat. What it falls down to is that if you get rid of the fat, then the ripped abs come out. It’s easier to say it than do it. You can’t out train a bad diet. We can easily consume more calories than we can burn off.

Do you think the couple minute, fleetiing taste test is more important, or , looking good any feeling healthy 24 hours a day more important.

Want ripped abs? Then start eating natural food that is nutritionally rich and low in calories. And consume fewer calories that you burn off. Depending on how much fat you have in one area, it is likely that getting ripped abs will take longer compared to ripped arms.

Be patient and stay on track. The less you cheat on your eating plan the sooner you will get to your goal. Be aware that it’s alright to cheat, within limits.

You’ll do just fine if you stick to your plan 90% of the time.

42 meals a week comes to 6 meals a day. If you are on the 90% plan, that will allow you to cheat on 4 meals a week.

You can cheat within reason. On these cheat meals, it is not okay to pig out and eat too much. Allow yourself some of things you like that are not on the menu. And if you skip a meal, that is also cheating.

Exercising is the other part of the equation that will help burn more calories.

Strength and cardio are both necessary.

Strength training is also necessary, regardless of whether it’s with body weight or a resistance tool.

Increasing your lean muscle mass will cause your body to burn more calories while resting.

I recommend choosing to do high intensity interval training (HIIT) over steady state low intensity cardio for cardiovascular training. Build muscles, boost stamina and burning more calories 24 hours after finishing are only some of its advantages. Your body burns carbohydrates when you go anaerobic during cardio. During your rest for the next 24 hours or so, your body will dip into its fat stores to replace the carbs it needs for fuel. Intense interval training has the advantage of burning calories for 24 hours or more after training.

Doing a low intensity steady state cardio tends to waste muscle and only burn fat while you’re doing it with no afterburn.

Think about it, which body would you rather have, the sprinter or the marathoner? It’s a no brainer for me, I’ll take the sprinter, looks better and is more functional.

Most sports that you play and things that you do are done in short bursts with recovery periods, rather than long low intensity marathons.

There are many exercises designed for the stomach in addition to other exercises for different body parts. I believe the best ab work is the functional type where you’re on your feet and you’re making your abs work to connect the upper passenger unit of your body to the lower locomotor unit. Most athletes are weak in this area. To make your abs hypertrophy and stand out more, you will need to work them.

In summary; eat clean and take in less calories than you expend during rest and use exercise to produce a higher calorie deficit.
