Most Common Myths about Six Pack abs

By Shiva K

So many products in the market on developing toned abs with lot of extraordinary promises makes it very difficult to take a decision as to which product would be the most suitable one and whether it will give the desired results.

The main reason behind this is the amount of over exposure that we are subjected to through magazines, newspapers, TV and the web.These products promise fantastic results but it is common knowledge that many of our acquaintances have failed to get any appreciable result by using these products.In this article let us try to understand the the pitfalls to be avoided and the proper course of action to be taken in order to be able to build lean and toned muscular abs.

To start with we must fully comprehend the basic truth about gaining six pack abs and not be misguided by false information which generally happens.The most common myth we come across is that to build six pack abs it is most important to exercise each and everyday of the week,where as this is not true.It is enough if one exercises for 3-4 days a week as our body needs time for the growth of muscles and repair of tissues.

Another widely misunderstood fact is that taking Junk Food is alright if I can do the exercise workout immediately after having it.Most of us take it for granted as it sounds quite logical but the fact is that Junk Food has to be avoided in total if you want to build a six pack that you can feel proud of.Also the diet during this period must be a well balanced one.

The biggest fable about the building of toned abs is that one should do maximum possible number of sit ups to fully tone the abs and attain six pack abs.The fact is that the exercise module should cover the whole body and not be focused only on the abdominal region. If this is not followed then the chances of gaining toned six pack abs are bleak.The body will extract all the deposited fat from the abdominal zone which is one of the major storing place of fats in the body when the whole body is exercised.

The noted personal trainer Mike Geary who is also a qualified nutritionist has created a manual with the following guidelines: * There is no need to undergo any sort of fad dieting, drugs or steroids course to get a toned muscular figure. *If one is a "lazy bone" and looks for shortcuts it will not be possible to build a six-pack. *He has formulated a set of exercises that help in losing the fat around the stomach and he also gives the scientific explanation as to how this result is achieved. *The diet plan that he provides does not involve any starving to lose fat and helps in cleverly selecting the foods that do not contain fats. *He has developed a course that fits both males and females from all age groups and the body toning can be achieved using the beginner, intermediate and advanced modules and he also suggests the workouts that exhilarate every layer of the abdominal muscles to gain a well toned abs.

If you are planning to build a six pack abs please be aware of the misleading myths about toning your abs and follow a properly designed scientific training program so that you will be able to develop a well toned lean muscular body in the shortest time possible.
