How to Get a Six Pack in 4 Weeks

Getting a six pack requires a mixture of fat removal and muscle toning, which can take a varying amount of time depending on the amount of fat a person has over their stomach muscles. While anyone can tone their stomach muscles, without burning this fat, a six pack will not become visible unless the toning exercises are combined with cardio and a good eating plan.

      Analyze your diet. You may find it helpful to write down what you typically eat during the day, and give it a critical study. Remove any unhealthy meals or snacks for the foreseeable future, and create a menu plan with healthy, nutritious meals. This should include healthy snacks, such as nuts, and meals made with lean meats.

      Schedule some exercise sessions. You should try to vary these as much as possible, for best results. If you have a gym membership, talk to a personal trainer about which exercises will be best for you, and ask for demonstrations using different pieces of equipment. If you do not attend a gym, make time to go for runs, and utilize popular items such as skipping ropes and hula hoops.

      Set specific targets for yourself. These will help you to stay motivated and complete workout sessions. For example, in the first week your target may be to run 2 miles every other day. Reward yourself for achieving your target. This could be anything, from tickets to an event you wish to see to new sports equipment, but try to avoid food rewards.
