Before we go into the meat of the article, I have to stress the importance of proper eating. Proper dieting plan is a must if you want those lean midsections. Ever heard of the saying “6 pack abs are made in kitchen”? Well, if you haven’t, make that your new mantra because you will not attain six pack abs without proper eating plan. This is not to diminish the importance of workout regimen which we will discuss shortly – but you must understand that without burning more calories than you take in, you will never be able to see those beautiful rock-hard abs hiding under the blankets of fat. So structure a proper eating plan and stick to it if you want six pack abs.

Cardiovascular exercises should be an integral part of your workout plan. Believe it or not, everyone has beautiful set of six pack abs….they are just hiding under the rolls and rolls of fat! Cardiovascular exercises will aid you in shredding those fats away from your midsection fast.

Pick an activity you will enjoy doing because getting six pack abs is a long and an arduous process. I’m not trying to scare you away from achieving your goal – merely prepare you for what lies ahead of you. Here are a few examples of cardiovascular exercises that are optimal for shredding fat and revealing six pack abs.

Swimming is one of the best exercises you can perform for getting six pack abs. It’s one of the few exercises where you will get a full body workout and use many muscle groups at once. If you are one of those lucky ones with access to a swimming pool, this is THE cardiovascular exercise you must incorporate into your workout routine.

If swimming is not an option, don’t worry as there are plethora of cardiovascular exercises you can chose from. Walking, jogging, hiking, bicycling, tennis, basketball, racquetball….the lists are endless. As I have mentioned already, make sure to pick an exercise that you enjoy doing. It will make your workout fun and easy to motivate yourself to do your workouts.



Frequency of cardiovascular exercises should be tailored for your lifestyle and schedule. At the very minimum, have at least 2 cardiovascular exercise days a week. You should shoot for 3 or 4 a week if possible and you will see your results by doing so. Cardiovascular exercises should be performed for at least 30 minutes. Optimal duration to shoot for is 45minutes.

In the part 2 of our Six Pack Abs Workout, we will discuss the muscle building exercises to develop those hard-rock midsections.
