How to Get Cut Abs Fast
- 1). Start cardio or aerobic exercise immediately, at least three times a week. The options for this step abound. Try walking, jogging, bicycling, kickboxing or step aerobics (just to name a few). Without cardio to burn the fat around the midsection, six pack abs won't be visible.
- 2). Avoid foods that have been found to cling to the midsection, such as foods high in saturated fats, potatoes, beer, processed sugars and greasy fried foods.
Try foods like juicy fruits, such as apples, berries or grapefruit for a healthy snack that will help you feel fuller longer and help you avoid the fatty foods. - 3). Try abdominal exercises. Start out lying on your back with knees bent and feet on the floor. Slowly raise your head, neck and shoulders off the floor, and go back down slowly. Your hands can be crossed at your chest, behind your head or just off the floor at your sides. This exercise is a simple crunch. The recommended number of crunches is 12 repetitions three times.
- 4). Start in the first position of a crunch, this time with your hands behind your head. This time, when you lift your upper body, try touching your right elbow to your left knee, then back down. Go back up only vice versa, your left elbow to your right knee. Both ways once makes one repetition. This is a "crossover" crunch. Do three sets of 12.
- 5). Lie on your stomach with your arms at your sides and toes pointed. Slowly lift your head and chest off the floor as you lift your legs, and slowly come back down. This exercise is called the reverse crunch. Do three sets of 12, as with the others.
- 6). Start out in the beginning crunch position. These are very similar to crossover crunches (this is called a bicycle). This time, however, bring your knees up to touch your elbows, keeping your feet off the floor. Three sets of 12 reps is recommended, but this exercise is particularly demanding, so do what you can until you build an endurance to it.
