Lose Chest Fat Now!

The first time I read about “8 pack abs” I instantly thought it was just a myth. Getting six pack abs is more than I can handle; an 8 pack is just flat out cuckoo.

Or so I thought…

I soon realized that 8 pack abs aren’t impossible to achieve. With some determination, a balanced diet, and regular exercise, anyone can have a chiseled 8 pack…even YOU.

Today, I’m going to stress on that last point – EXERCISE. With all the fancy gadgets that are keeping us busy nowadays, exercise has been pushed down the hobbies list by some of you. If you think about it, it does require a lot of time and energy. But think about your objective for a second; wouldn’t a rock hard midsection be so much worth it?

You got to start somewhere, right? Try out these 4 fundamental ways to work out abs and you’ll get the hang of it in to time:

1. Weighted Sit Ups

2. Bicycles

3. Full Body Crunches

4. Curls

Weighted Sit Ups

Anything that replicates a small amount of weight, like a hardbound book or a small bag of rice, will be useful in this exercise. Be creative – you can use your purse, a medium-sized bottle of water, or even your baby!

Now, lie down on the floor, bend your knees slightly, and plant your feet firmly on the ground. Place the weight over your chest and secure it with your hands. Lift your shoulders off the floor slowly without moving the lower half of your body. Always contract those abdominal muscles. When you’re about 45 degrees off the ground, stay there for as long as you can, then assume your original position. If you perform this exercise often, you will surely get your 8 pack abs.

Bicycle

This one’s my favorite out of all 4 exercises. Simply lie down on the floor, bring your knees up alternately, as if you were biking in air. Meanwhile, with your hands on both sides of your head, touch your right elbow to your left knee as it goes up, and then do the same with the other side.

Full Body Crunches

This one’s a real challenge, but I feel that it’s done so much for my abs. I suggest you start doing it, too!

While still lying on the floor, rest your hands over your chest, and bend your knees once again. Now, come up as you would when you perform a regular crunch. Lift your legs toward the ceiling as you do your upper body crunch. Your target is to form a sort of horse shoe shape with your body every time you go in for that crunch. Hold that position while you keep your abs tense, and then go back to your original position.

Curls

This is a lot like the upper body crunch, but instead of just focusing on the number of reps you do, you will be paying closer attention to contracting your ab muscles and maintaining your form. Place your hands on your midsection and feel it contract. Slowly curl your head and shoulders upward then resume your original position.

So, here’s the truth regarding six pack abs: 8 pack abs CAN be a reality. Keep an open mind, work hard, and you can attain ANYTHING!
