The first thing that you need realise about getting a great abdominal area quickly, or “Fast Abs” as we like to call it, is what do we actually mean by fast? Building muscle can be a slow process at times, the incremental gains seem invisible to the naked eye (especially when we’re looking at ourselves in the mirror every day), so what timeframe should we give ourselves to realistically see some results from our abs work out?
Well, it’s not actually as long as you might think. A period of about 12 weeks can be all it takes to develop the abs of your dreams.
As with all muscle growth, it’s about getting the right balance of effective exercise and a good diet. But with with the Abs, building the muscles is one thing, seeing them is another. So my first recommendation is to start to think about when you will want to be showing off your new leaner sculpted midsection.
Now I appreciate that if you live by the sea and spend a lot of time on the beach, then this probably doesn’t matter. The answer to the above is going to be ASAP, but for many it’s often about an upcoming event like a holiday where they know we’ll have the opportunity to show off our new washboard Abs. I mention this because this can often take the pressure off and help you focus on firstly building strong abdominal muscles, then worry about the weight loss necessary to see them.
This simple mindset change is very important because when building muscle, you are probably aware of the need for calories. You must feed the body and the muscles to enable growth, so realise this is a 2 step process. Too many people start “dieting” before they’re ready and actually limit the amount of muscle they can build.
It’s often this one thing that stops people building Fast Abs!!
The key is to get yourself a good Abs Work Out program that will help you build the muscle, then focus on eating lean protein rich foods, plenty of fresh vegetables (and I’d recommend raw where possible), fruit and whole grains etc.
One top tip is to avoid too much fruit. Fruit, as good as it is for us, does contain quite a lot of sugar (Fructose) and sugar is fattening; something a lot of regular dieters overlook.
When it comes burning the fat, there is another key consideration to think about – the type of exercises you do. Notice I say “type” of exercise, not which ones.
High-intensity interval training should be known and practiced. This type of training involves short bursts of physical intensity to be followed by short periods of rests. This type of training is proven to bring about fat loss up to 9 times faster than regular long duration aerobic workouts. It annoys me in the Gym to see people sat on exercise bikes, slowly turning the pedals whilst reading a book. Yes this burns calories, but the process of fat burning stops at the end of the workout. Compare this to high-intensity training where it’s proven that you still burn calories 3 to 6 hours after your workout.
So hopefully you now realise that building Fast Abs doesn’t take that long, but does require that you understand the difference building them and showing them off and how your diet is so important to this process. Like baking a good cake, you can’t take it out of the oven until it’s ready. So eat well and build the muscle. Then and only then remove the fat to expose your Abs, but do this efficiently with the right “type” of exercise and the result will be Abs, fast!
