2 Truths About Six Pack Abs An Industry Doesn't Want You To Know

2 Truths About Six Pack Abs An Industry Doesn't Want You To Know
Six pack abs and flat stomachs are always hot items.
Exercises and gadgets sold to achieve a flat stomach are
one of the hottest areas of the fitness industry. Millions
of stomach gadgets, gimmicks, and exercise machines are
sitting dusty in closets around the world. These gadgets
are snatched-up in pursuit of sexier, flatter stomach. Yet
there is information important to your fitness success that
product makers will never tell you. This missing
information keeps you on the hamster wheel buying ever more
"fitness products" and further away from six pack abs.

First, the most critical thing for great looking six pack
abs is losing the extra fat covering up your stomach
muscles. Most people already have decent abdominals. No,
really, you probably do too. Those secret six pack abs are
just tragically hidden under layers of fat. To get these
hidden stomach muscles to emerge into the light of day you
must eat a diet that is right for you. You need to know
what foods will work for your lifestyle and tastes.

Yet the perfect diet alone is not enough to get you a
fitness model looking stomach. You must combine a diet
proper for you along with the correct fat burning
exercises. Only then can you get into the shape necessary
to join the ranks of abdominal show-offs. Notice how I
said the word 'correct' before 'fat burning exercises' in
the previous sentence?

The next inconvenient truth for the fitness gadget industry
is almost all of the stomach exercises recommended on TV,
the Internet, in magazines, etc. are not the best way to
get those six pack abs to appear. In an attempt to flatten
the stomach, too much focus is directed at exercise for the
abdominals. The best exercises for losing abdominal fat
are ones that work the largest portions of the body at once.

To make matters worse gadget makers are going in the
extreme opposite direction by laser focusing only on the
abdominals. If you could build muscle and burn fat all day
from 10-15 minutes of gadget-free exercise or burn 1000
calories in 60 minutes of moving like a hamster in a wheel,
which would you choose? The industry's problem here is
that an expensive AbdomiTronic™ is not necessary in
the first picture.

Fitness product makers know there is not much money to be
made in telling people to eat right for your needs and to
perform basic time-tested exercises. There are billions of
dollars in giving people just enough information to seem
credible then selling them a gadget to magically solve
their problem though. Since most people are not aware of
the whole story about how to get into great shape gadget
makers capitalize on that ignorance. Neat looking products
are churned out that claim to wipe away all the reasons you
can't get into the shape you've always dreamed of. All the
while leaving out the inconvenient details, the very
details which tell there are no gadgets required to get in
great shape.

If you really want tighter flatter abdominals that look
like a six pack, remember that losing that extra stomach
fat is the most important factor. Right after eating
properly is using exercises that work the most amount of
muscle possible. Full-body exercises are one of the best
kept secrets for sexy six pack abs. Now this information
is only the starting point. As I wrote earlier you have to
eat right for you and find the most effective exercises
that suit you.

No doubt the questions "What actually is eating right?" and
"What are those effective exercises?" popped into your
head. Well, that is a completely different topic than six
pack abs and a story for another day...
