With my personal fitness training, one thing I get asked alot is ‘how can women get a 6 pack?’ Many women try, and fail. Yes, without testosterone its harder to develop flat abs than it is for men, but its not impossible at all. With the right approach you can do it easily.
Ive always found that women who want to achieve a 6 pack, tend to be serious about their goals and their training. Its not often that a women whos after a 6 pack, hasnt spent considerable time and effort on their body already. One of the reasons I really love to train people like this, is that they know how serious about their goals they are!
Thats not to say that all the folks who read this, might only be starters. There is certainly many beginners who I deal with that want a 6 pack. Often its the only objective! My initial point to them, is they have to be prepared to change their lifestyle, and work hard! Its really valuable to realise the rewards from doing it, and you’ll be rapt with your results when you reach your goals.
So, how to go about getting six packs abs in women? Is the approach different to men? Is it even possible?
For sure! It just takes a little bit of a different approach, but I certainly have helped many women to reach their six pack goals over my years as a trainer. Lets take a look at my top ideas for ripping up those abs:
Women dont have the same propencity to build muscle, due to a lack of testosterone to pack on dense muscle. This only means that a change in focus and a altering of your diet is all you need to get those muscles growing.
One of the fundamentals is not just to only work the muscles but also reduce the fat accumulation that presides over the stomach. This exposes the abs out, and lets the world know you have a 6 pack. When this is done you can pat your own back, as that AMAZING flat tummy look is all yours baby.
The best way to get rid of this fat layer, is to use a targeted cardio approach. One thing that I recommend to lady customers, is to start doing pump or circuit classes, as this rates as one of the fastest ways to burn tummy flab.
Not only are they fun, they utilise the core for nearly all the actions involved. Sign up to your gym whenever you can, or else get hold of some at home ‘fitness workout’ DVD’s and try the class in your lounge.
