The Quickest Way to Flat Six Pack Abs

You probably already realize that the quickest way to flat six pack abs is to ensure you avoid as many mistakes as possible.

But, what do you do if you don't know what mistakes you're making in the first place?

If you keep reading the rest of this article, I'll let you in on a couple of the common mistakes I see people making when they are trying to get a six pack fast.

The first thing likely stopping you from getting that trophy six pack is too much reliance on supplements.

This isn't necessarily your fault. It seems every time you pick up a fitness magazine, you're bombarded with advertisements. Each and every one of these ads portraying some supplement as the "magic fix."

The truth is, supplementation can play a role in your six pack quest. Yet, relying on it too much is a recipe for failure. Instead, you need a solid foundation of a good diet, strength training, and high intensity cardio.

The next thing likely holding you back is "too much cardio." That probably sounds a bit confusing as I just told you cardio is necessary.

Allow me to explain.

When it comes to losing stomach fat, there's a big difference between the types of cardio you should be doing. There is basically "effective" cardio, and "ineffective" cardio.

"Effective" cardio consists of doing very intense, focused cardio. Preferably in intervals. An example might be sprinting up a hill and walking back down - then repeating.

Most people make the mistake of doing SLOW cardio. You know, the guys you see at the gym chugging along on the stationary bike or running 2 miles per hour on the treadmill.

Heck, maybe you're even that guy. If so, I apologize if I've offended you.

But, I think just about anyone can agree that this type of cardio is very ineffective in getting you that six pack you wanted.

You're probably beginning to realize, the quickest way to flat six pack abs is about taking effective actions while minimizing mistakes along the way.
