Three Basic Elements If You Want Six Pack Abs

ByRon C. White

Why

Today's graphic media, including magazines, television, movies, and video, have educated the masses that having "Six-Pack Abs" is the way to go. They're sexy, stylish, and an outward sign of physical fitness. Not to have them means you're gross, a fat slob. Just look how many sites there are trying to sell you secret ways to six-pack abs without this or that difficulty. I Google'd today "6 pack abs," and out of 16 million sites they present to you some 900, and all of them, from the beginning through to the end, are titled "six-pack abs," and not "six-pack beer," and not "six seat cabs." Hey, look at yourself here reading my article!

But the truth is, that whatever your interest to build muscles and six-pack abs may be, one thing is for sure, it is healthy. A beer-belly, well, let's be nice -- excess fat tissue around the midsection, is a risk factor for many diseases that you want to avoid. So it says on WebMD and many other authoritative sites. Over 60% of Americans are overweight and over 30% are obese, and to rid yourself of midsection excess fat can save your life, sexy or not sexy.

Another aspect of bad health due to being overweight is mental health. There's no denying it, many people are depressed nowadays, and being overweight plays a significant role. One of the symptoms of a person who starts getting into shape is that he starts feeling good about himself.

Therefore, I agree with the media that Six-Pack Abs is the way to go, but not because of what they say, "be sexy, not disgusting." Rather be healthy, live long, live life for the fullest, (and if you're also sexy that's an added plus).

How

There are many sites that offer "how to" guidance to get into shape, lose unwanted extra fat, and to build muscle. My site also does. But no site and no advice will help if you don't want it yourself. The advertisements show you a before and after picture without showing you the work that the person had to do in order to get from here to there. But there is no mincing words, yes, it takes work, dedication, and perseverance.

I know someone, someone close to me, that had open heart surgery in his early fifties. He went to rehab, and when they told him that he must get in to a regimen of walking and exercise, he listened to what they told him, and he religiously started walking daily for years. The consequences were severe, to avoid walking and exercising, to go back to his inactive lifestyle, put him at a risk of death.

Not everybody has the inner motivation to internalize that it is either life or death. Or if not literally "death," then something like that -- risk of disease, risk of depression, risk of social relationship failure. You must have the dedication, or to inspire yourself to the dedication, that to be overweight and not in shape is not an option at any cost.

When

There is a video over there at WebMD which talks about the risks of being overweight where a doctor says, "if I could have only one sign on my door, it would be, "It's never too late to start..."

Start today. Go out for a brisk walk for 20 minutes. And start thinking about how you want to get in to a fitness regimen. Start looking around for the available gyms, start looking around for the available trainers, talk to your spouse about taking walks together. Just begin and want to continue.

These are the three elements that you need to know if you want Six-Pack Abs.

Exercise To Build Muscle With Three Basic Exercises

ByRey Bucio

If you are serious about building muscle mass here are the three basic exercises to build muscle you must do: the squat, the bench press, and the wide grip pull up. These three are compound exercises meaning that they work a group of muscles. For each exercise you are going to do 5 sets of 5 repetitions each, you want to do one exercise per day and a day off after you done all three exercises then repeat the process. Here is a fact that will help you in your journey, the bigger the muscle the greater release of testosterone (hormone involve in the muscle building process), and more testosterone means more muscle.

Exercise to build muscle #1

So here is the deal, you want to start with squats on your first day you work out, you don't have to start with squats but a recommend you to do so in every workout routine and you will see why in a second. The squat works your entire leg muscles and the gluteus muscle, since your legs are the largest muscle on your body, your testosterone levels are going to raise high and that will help you build more muscle. When executing the squat set your feet slightly more than shoulder width apart, keep your back straight as you lower your body until your gluteus are closely align with your knees, then bring it back up keeping good form.

Exercise to build muscle #2

Next is the bench press, this is the best exercise to pack on muscle to your upper body. The bench press works your chest, shoulders and the back part of your arm (triceps). When executing the bench press, first lay down on the bench making sure that the weight bar is right above the upper part of your chest, then place your hands wider than shoulder width apart and push the bar off the rack and lower the weight slow until your arms align horizontally to the floor before you push the bar back up.

Exercise to build muscle #3

Let's move on to the wide gripe pull up, this exercise works your lower and upper back, the side of your back, the front of your arm (biceps) and the back part of your shoulder. You can do this exercise in a pull up machine with assistance, but try to do as many sets without assistance as you can, then finish with as little assistance as possible. But if you can do them all without assistance I recommend you to do because you'll get much better results. When doing the pull up, tighten your core and pull yourself up in a control manner without swinging your body too much, then slowly lower yourself.

So if you really want to see results that last, exercise to build muscle with these three exercises and thank me later.
