How To Lose Weight And Develop Your Abs Quickly

By Howe Russ


While it seems everybody is trying to learn how to get a six pack in 3 minutes or less, the fact is you can indeed generate great physical results in a short amount of time if you know what you are doing. Today's post will teach you how to lose weight and develop those all important abdominal muscles in as little as a few weeks.

Before you begin it is important to set a realistic goal here. If you have a lot of unwanted weight to drop then it wouldn't be sensible to set yourself, say, a two week target to achieve your goal. Of course, that is merely common sense. However, the techniques taught to you today will enable quick progress from where you are now to where you'd like to be in just a few short months' time. []

Before you do anything at all, though, you will need to accept the fact that a lean midsection isn't solely achieved in the gym. For many, the gym becomes the fun part of the process after a while. The real key to success lies within your daily diet. Ready to begin?

1. Lower your daily calorie intake.

2. Get your macronutrients in check.

3. Don't cut your favorite junk foods from your diet.

4. Don't forget to drink enough water each day.

5. Use HIIT to elevate fat burning.

Let's begin with a calorie deficit. This basically means eating less than you do at the moment. Most people lie to themselves about how much food they eat during the course of an average day, so in order to work this out properly it would be wise to record a food diary over three days. Then simply operate on slightly less calories from now on.

To work out the correct amount of macronutrients you can use the 4-4-2 system. This means 40% of your calories should come from protein, 40% should come from carbohydrates and 20% should come from fats. In order to do this you'll need to establish your new calorie target first, of course.

The third rule is where your temptation kicks in. Sadly, most people are not fully prepared for how tempted they are going to be by their favorite junk foods. Most opt for a cold turkey approach and this seldom leads to success. Instead, use your favorite junk foods as a reward system for sticking to your plan. After a week, treat yourself with a day off. While you will surely intake some bad calories, it will help you to stick to your new lifestyle long-term.

If you are trying to get slimmer one of the best things you can do is to increase your water intake. You may have heard the myths that you'll end up retaining water around your stomach but, contrary to popular belief, people who drink enough water do not suffer from water retention at all. In fact, science shows that it primarily affects those who don't get enough. Shoot for 8 glasses on an average day, more if you are exercising. []

Rule five is the final point because it needs a little bit of explaining. Rather than spending hours in the gym pounding on the treadmill, bored out of you mind, try using high intensity interval training. Not only are the fat burning benefits far better than regular cardiovascular exercise, your workouts will become far more fun too.

Try the sample session below:

* Knee Lift.

* Sit-Ups.

* Max Plank.

Perform all three moves for 45 seconds without rest, then take a one minute break and begin round two. If you can do three rounds here that's only a 7:30 total time yet the intensity of the workout will provide you with excellent results.

If your trying to figure out how to lose weight in the quickest possible time, a good start would be applying the five basic principles shown in today's post. While you may not be able to learn how to get a six pack in 3 minutes or less, you won't be far behind!
