Looking for ideas to help you get better results from your abs work out?

Even though I believe programs like The Truth About Abs and Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle can really help you get seriously toned visible abs, there’s a whole lot you can learn from the late great Bruce Lee about training your abs.

It’s true! In addition to being a martial arts superstar, Bruce Lee studied physiology & kinesiology and was a serious expert on abs fitness.  See Bruce believed that core fitness was critical to his martial arts training. In fact, Bruce believed that you had no business doing martial arts sparing if your abs weren’t fit.

Like I said in the beginning, there’s a whole lot you can learn about training your abs (not to mention training your entire body). And with me being a HUGE fan of his since forever (I also had a buddy named Bruce who was giving me karate lessons at that time), it would be so easy for me to break down his ideas for you.

But that wouldn’t help you as much as you reading an article, a blog post or watching a video and getting the understanding for yourself.  So I’m going to point you to some free online resources about Bruce Lee’s abs work out and how you can use his ideas to get better results from your own program.

This way to your training, grasshopper …

Bruce Lee’s Ab Workout Routine

Bruce Lee’s “Secret” Six Pack Ab Exercise (Rusty over at Fitness Black Book wrote this post about the “Breath of Dragon” exercise a few years ago. Rusty writes some excellent articles on his blog, so I highly recommend you check this one out.)

How Did Bruce Lee Get Those Washboard Abs

“WARM MARBLE”: The Lethal Physique Of Bruce Lee (This is an excellent article goes beyond abs; it’s about Lee’s strength training ideas and routine, as well as his influence on physique athletes – you really need to read this.)

I wanted to post some videos on Bruce’s fitness training, but most of what I found were videos like this ab exercise called the “Dragon Flag” or “‘Bruce Lee sit ups” …

and this advanced ab routine ….

But I’m positive that you will benefit greatly from the ab workout content I’ve linked to in this post.  Oh yeah and I would really appreciate you letting me know what you think about Bruce Lee’s ab routine.

Keep your eyes on the prize!

the TRUTH about getting abs like this

Almost everyone wants know how to get toned abs.

I don’t care if you’re a teen trying to develop perfect six pack abs, a grown man wanting to get back in shape, or a woman wanting to look great again in a bikini … we all want to have great looking abs.

There are plenty of abdominal machines sold on late night infomercials and programs sold online that claim to be the master key you need to get those abs you want, but most of them are completely useless and a waste of your time (not to mention waste of money!).

And to help you avoid spinning your wheels, today’s post reveals …

5 TRUTH’s About How to Get Toned Abs

1. You Can’t Spot-Reduce

Many people search for exercises to burn fat from their stomach, but the real truth is that fat burning just doesn’t work like that.  When you lose body fat it’s lost from the entire body – not just the belly, the legs, butt, etc. No matter how many sit ups or crunches you do … you won’t burn off any fat.

2. Cardio (Done Right) Is Important

Cardio done the right way can be very effective in helping your body burn off excess fat and boosting your metabolism. But you don’t need to spend an hour doing ‘slow & steady‘ at your local gym. All you really need to do is invest 25-30 minutes of your time 3 times a week and you’ll be well on your way to improving your general level of fitness as well as getting those toned abs you want.  Running or sprinting, rowing, kick boxing or jumping rope are excellent cardiovascular work outs.

3. You Must Cut Calories to Lose Unwanted Fat

In order to lose weight you must create a caloric deficit.  If you create a caloric deficit daily you WILL lose weight. Here’s how: If you reduce your daily caloric intake by 250 calories, you should drop 1/2 a pound a week. When you throw in cardio and/or resistance training to burn off another 250 calories a day, you boost your fat loss by another 1/2 a pound. A healthy level of weight loss is about 1/2 – 2 pounds per week.

4. Sit Ups and Crunches Are Useless

A lot of people are surprised by this because we are normally taught that sit ups and crunches are great exercises for our abs. The real truth is they’re pretty useless for getting visible abs BUT perfect for strengthening your abs and lower back muscles.

5. Exercises You Should Do

Instead of sit ups and crunches, do planks, hanging leg raises (hang from a

get toned six pack abs like his

bar and pull your knees towards your chest) and vertical knee raises.

Getting toned six pack abs isn’t as easy as the infomercials would have you believe, BUT almost anyone can develop them as long as they have the desire and determination. JUST DON’T GIVE UP! Not only will you have those sexy abs you want, but you will also have greatly improved health and fitness levels.

The Truth About Abs reveals how to finally lose that stubborn abdominal fat that stands between you and those great toned abs you want through cutting edge nutrition and the exercises you need to get your body in the best shape ever.

Karen Pang has great abs

Since you’re reading this article it’s pretty safe to assume you want to have a great set of abs. If you want to develop a  set of visibly toned abs, today’s post outlines 4 essential steps to get great abs as well as get a buffed, sexy body like the fitness model pictured to the left.

So what are the 4 steps to great abs?

Step 1: Make the commitment. Almost everyone wants to look good in front of the mirror and to members of the opposite sex (in as well as out of clothes).  BUT few people are willing to do what it takes to make it happen. And until you make that commitment, losing abdominal fat, getting in shape and creating amazing abs is merely a wish you’d like to see comet true. But once you cross that line …. it becomes a goal. And goals require a certain amount of thinking and planning.

If you’re serious about getting great abs and don’t want to “spin your wheels” through the process of getting lean enough to have visible sexy abs, you should check out Tom Venuto’s Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle program.

Step 2: Evaluate your diet.  A lot of people think you’ve got to “go on a diet” to eliminate the stomach fat that stands between you and those  visible six pack abs you want. That’s not always the case. What you must do is take an objective look at every single food item you put in your mouth and ask yourself “is this going to help me reach my goal?“. if it’s not helping you, replace it with food that supports your plan to get great abs.

Step 3:  Develop a solid, all-purpose work out plan. The best way to work your abs (from my experience) is to work the entire body! So your plan should include strength training component (free weights or body weight exercises) and a cardio exercise component (IMO  “traditional” cardio isn’t necessary … jump rope, power walk through the park, run the stairs, etc.) to

You can get great abs like these

lose unwanted body fat as well as develop lean fat burning muscle. All you need is 3 -4 days a week to work out. The remainder of your week is for rest and recovery.

Step 4: Follow through. This is where action talks and the B.S. walks. Almost anyone can go through the initial planning phases of this plan to get great abs. But only the truly motivated will actually follow through on taking action.  So if you’re serious about developing a set of amazing abs with the buffed body to go with them … cut out the excuses and take action until you can stand in front of the mirror admiring your amazing abs (or stand in front of your favorite person, while they admire your amazing abs ; ).

Let’s face it … everybody wants to have a great set of toned abs.  From the teenager working hard to get a ripped six pack, the over 30 guy trying to get back in ‘fighting’ shape, to the mom who wants her body to look like it did before she had children. And there are lots of six pack abs diet and abs work out programs on & offline that promise to help you lose abdominal fat and get toned abs really fast with very little effort on your part.

The sad truth is …. many of these programs are nothing but hype and the only thing you will lose is time & money. But this doesn’t mean that getting the abs you want is impossible!

No.

If You’re Serious About Losing Abdominal Fat And Getting Amazing Toned Abs, Here Are 5 TRUTHS You Should Know:

1. You Can’t Spot-Reduce

Many people search for the best abs exercise to tone their abs, but the truth is you can’t target a specific part of your body for fat loss. You lose excess fat from your entire body. And the best way to do this is to consume fewer calories while eating nutrient rich foods and working out 3 – 4 days a week for at least 30 minutes a session.

2.    Cardio (the Right Way) Is Important

Cardio can help you burn fat and boost your metabolism IF you do it the right way. 30 minutes of high intensity interval training 3-4 times a week will help you burn fat quickly and seriously boost your level of fitness. Boxing, kick boxing, playing tennis, jumping rope and doing wind sprints are great exercises to burn fat.

3.    Cut Back On the Calories

To lose abdominal fat it’s necessary to have a caloric deficit. And to do this you need to burn more calories than you consume. And the easiest way to do this is to eat smaller portions of nutrient dense foods. Create a daily caloric deficit and you have no choice BUT to lose weight. A healthy rate of weight loss is about 0.5 – 2 pounds per week .

4.    If You Want Abdominal Fat Loss … Sit Ups Are Useless

A lot of people are surprised by this because we’ve been told over and over to do sit ups and crunches to develop six pack abs. BUT the truth is  … these exercises (if done right) are only good for strengthening your abs and lower back. The don’t do anything for getting rid of fat around your midsection.

5.    Exercises You Should Do

Instead of traditional ab exercises do these instead: planks, squats or lunges with dumbells/barbells, push ups and hanging leg raises (hang from a pull up bar and bring your knees toward your chest in a upward crunch motion).

Getting toned abs isn’t as easy as the TV infomercials try to make you believe, but anyone with the desire and determination to do it can lose abdominal fat. Just NEVER give up. And not only will you tone your abs, but you will be healthier and be in the best shape of your life.

Are you dazed & confused about how to lose abdominal fat and get the visible sexy six pack abs you want?

Don’t feel bad about it because you’ve got a lot of company. Even with all the information online, in books and in magazines on how to lose abdominal fat and get six pack abs, many men & women continue to make BIG mistakes when on a six pack abs diet.

sexy abs like these come from superior nutrition and abs training

If you want to avoid making these mistakes or discover how to stop making them, keep reading this article.  I’m revealing 5 proven six pack abs diet tips you can use right now to get sexy six pack abs.

Here are your 5 dieting for abs tips:

1.Stay away from food items cleverly disguised as ‘healthy’ foods. Avoid foods packaged and sold as ‘low fat’, ‘lite’, ‘low fat’, ‘sugar free’ or ‘low carb’. These foods often use artificial sweeteners and high fructose corn syrup, which can lead to serious health problems. And they don’t help you lose belly fat … they actually make you fatter.

2. Cut out ’bad’ fats from your diet. Americans eat far too many foods that are loaded with ‘bad’ fats – saturated fats and trans fatty acids, which can lead to heart disease and high blood pressure. But don’t make the mistake of thinking all fats are ‘bad’.  Why? Because contrary to what you’ve been told, all fats are not your enemy! Your body needs ‘good’ fats, like unsaturated fats, to function properly and stay healthy.

3. Consume nutrient dense foods that help you burn more calories. Eat grapefruit, apples, lean pork, asparagus, broccoli, salmon, tuna and green tea. The more calories you burn up, the easier it will be to lose stubborn abdominal fat.

4. Work out 3 – 4 times a week. While most of your six pack abs diet success is the result of what you eat (it’s estimated that 90% of your results comes from what you eat and how), the remaining 10% comes from getting regular exercise. If you want to look good in or out of your clothes, you’ve got to consistently work out for at least 30 minutes 3 – 4 times a week.

5. Do high intensity interval training to build lean muscle to help burn more excess body fat. Based upon my experience, building lean muscle through high intensity resistance workouts (not cardio) is the best way to torch  body fat.  Building lean muscle not only gives you a much more sexier look, it also help your body burn more fat.

BONUS: Sit-ups are great for training your core, but doing 100′s of them won’t help you lose one ounce of abdominal fat! If you want visible six pack abs do this:  lower your percentage of body fat enough for your abs to become visible. The lower your percentage of body fat, the more visible your abdominal muscles will  be. This is why you HAVE TO combine regular high intensity interval training with your six pack abs diet program.

BUT I see a lot of people making some basic mistakes when it comes to working out. And these mistakes are causing them to not reach their abs fitness goals.

If you want to want to avoid these mistakes and get great abs, this article reveals 3 powerful  abs work out tips you really should know about before you begin your get toned abs exercise program.

Now let’s review these 3 powerful tips you can use (right now) in your lose ab fat work out program:

1. If you want to lose abdominal fat and get an amazing  set of visible six pack abs, the first thing you need is commitment.

Everyone says they want to look good in and out of their clothes, but FEW ARE WILLING to pay the price.  Until you make that commitment, you’re just hoping and wishing.  So make up your mind – right now. And once you cross that line, there’s no more excuses for not making the time to work out 3-4 times a week.  No more excuses for not pushing yourself when you exercise.

2.  After you make that commitment and set your goals, create a good fat burning exercise routine. Your plan should include traditional ab exercises to strengthen your core, fat burning whole body exercises to torch your fat and resistance training to develop lean muscle.

Don’t overtrain your abs by doing 100′s of crunches. Crunches won’t get you visible six pack abs - they will only strengthen them. You need to do exercises that work your entire body – not just your abs – to burn off excess body fat. 

To avoid the exercise mistakes that make me cringe,  add high intensity interval training to your get toned abs program.  High intensity interval training makes your muscles work harder by  constantly changing the intensity level of your exercises.  This keeps your muscles from getting used to your workouts while burning more body fat.

3.  No matter how good your abs work out program is, you need to change your diet.  This doesn’t mean you need to “go on a diet”.  What it does mean is that you need to change the way you look at food, change what you eat and even the way you eat – so you can reach your six pack abs goals.

Don’t pooh – pooh the diet component of your program. Your workout CAN’T make up for a poor diet.  Only 10% of your six pack abs results comes from exercising. The other 90% comes from what you eat and how you eat!

So discover how to diet for six pack abs, study/analyze food labels to help you make smarter food choices, stay away from processed foods and junk foods.  Eat high quality proteins, good fats, fiber rich foods and complex carbohydrates.

There’s much more to getting toned abs than what I’ve revealed in these 3 tips . BUT they’re what you really need to know about – especially if you’re starting out or if you’ve hit a road block – if you ever hope to develop a serious set of ripped six pack abs.

In The Truth About Six Pack Abs, Mike Geary reveals the exercises you should be doing if you really want to get  toned abs. And he gives you more than 60 body weight exercises to get great abs and how to make your workouts 2x as effective so you can lose abdominal fat & keep it off!

Do you want to lose abdominal fat, but don’t know how or where to start?

If you’re serious about getting rid of your flabby belly to get a flat stomach, but you’re confused about what works … keep reading. You’re going to discover 3 pretty simple tips that have been proven to torch belly fat quickly and get sexy, 6 pack abs.

Tip No. 1:  Change WHAT and HOW you eat.

If you want to get rid of that fat stomach and develop visible six pack abdominals, a diet for abs program is the key to getting the results you want. What you want to do is consume fewer calories while eating nutritious foods that help your body burn more calories.

Here’s how to do it: (1) Eat 5-6 smaller meals a day to speed up your metabolism; (2) Eat more quality protein daily - eggs, canned tuna and chicken breasts to burn off excess body fat; and (3) Eat fresh, in season fruit and plenty of vegetables at least 2x a day.

Tip No. 2:  Work Out 3 – 4 Times A Week For At Least 30 Minutes.

This doesn’t mean you need to do ‘traditional’ cardio exercises on the treadmill, stationary bike or elliptical trainer. There’s nothing wrong with these exercises (as long as you do them right), BUT it’s far more effective to do exercises that target the entire body. Climb the stairs, do wind sprints, play tennis or volleyball or go rock climbing instead. These workouts are fun to do and burn body fat like crazy.

But don’t stop with these ideas. Read Tip No. 3 for more fat burning workout ideas.

Tip No. 3: Do resistance training.

Add free weights and body weight exercises to your burn fat exercise routines. You can do push- ups from different angles, body weight squats, jump rope, dumbbell presses or dumbbell lunges. Change up your intensity level and workouts every 3-4 weeks to put your body’s fat burning process in high gear and build lean muscle.

Question: Do you know the HUGE mistake people make in trying lose abdominal fat to get 6 pack abs?

They spend TOO MUCH time doing ab exercises! It’s true!
