 6 STEPS TO GET SIX PACK...

The first step to maintaining six pack abs year round, is to first lose enough body fat to allow your abs to show. All the crunches in the world will not get you a six pack. The most important factor to losing body fat is diet.

1) Eating clean meals that consist of complex carbs, vegetables, and lean sources of protein are essential to reducing body fat. Try to avoid processed foods, or empty calories. Focus on eating fresh seasonal foods, and limiting your alcohol and sugar intake.

2) Drinking lots of water throughout the day. Water is very important to keep your body hydrated and help deliver the nutrients from the meals you eat. If we don't drink enough water on a daily bases we become dehydrated and our body will start to store water giving your body a bloated look and feeling.

3) Focus on compound movements instead of "AB excercises" Squats, deadlifts, and lunges. All three are good examples of compound movements that require a lot of energy to perform. They are more energy demanding therefore will burn more calories throughout the rest of your day.

4) Sleep is another major factor to reducing your body fat. The only time your body is burning 100% fat is during cycles of REM sleep. 7-8 hours is recommended on a daily bases. This should give your muscles enough time to heal from the day's work.

5) HIIT ( high intensity interval training) is a very effective method to reduce body fat. You basically perform extremely energy demanding activities for short periods of time. Then give your body a minimal time to recover before starting the excercise again. Ex sprints, battle ropes, sled push, burpees, and tire flips.

6) Avoid the gimmicks out there!! Don't go on a extremely low calorie diet, or try to starve yourself for results. You must learn to feed your body properly to obtain results that last. So don't go waste a bunch of money of fat burners and supplements! Go to the local farmers market and buy fresh seasonal foods! It's impossible to outwork a bad diet!!
