How to Burn Fat & Get Six Pack Abs

Many want to burn fat and get six pack abs, but getting the perfect body isn't easy. There is no way that you can lose belly fat without paying careful attention to your diet and exercise. However, if you're ready to make the commitment, make a few changes in your lifestyle and constantly tweak your routine until you get the results you desire, you'll eventually get the six pack that you want.

Instructions

• 1

  Increase your muscle mass with weight training. The more muscles you have, the more calories you will burn, so don't forget weight training. Design a plan that works all the muscles.

• 2

  Try high-intensity interval training. High intensity interval training, or HIIT, is a method in which you alternate periods of very intense physical activity with slower recovery periods. For example, you'd want to sprint for 30 seconds, then jog for a minute. You only need to do HIIT for about 20 minutes, three times a week. Experts believe that this type of exercise continues to burn more calories even after you have finished the exercise.

• 3

  Watch your diet. Even though you're exercising, if you want to get six pack abs, you need to watch what you eat. Avoid all junk foods and refined carbohydrates. Stick to fruits and vegetables, lean meats and whole grains.

• 4

  Eat smaller meals. You should plan to eat smaller meals throughout the day instead of just two or three big ones. This keeps your metabolism working and prevents you from overeating due to hunger.

• 5

  Work your ab muscles every other day. To get a six pack, you need to work your abdominal muscles. Be sure to do exercises that focus on the upper, lower and oblique ab muscles. However, you shouldn't do ab exercises every day -- every other day is enough.

• 6

  Change your workout when you stop seeing results. If you find that things have been going great and you suddenly hit a plateau, change things up. Your body gets used to the exercises that you do, which makes them less effective. By changing your exercise routine, you are challenging your body to work harder.

• 7

  Allow your muscles to rest. While more muscle tone is key to burning fat and getting a six pack, your muscles need time to repair themselves. Do weight training only two or three times a week for best results.
