MIND CARE
MI - Mindset - the motivational aspect of getting your six pack abs. This is really where it all begins. All successes are achieved twice. Once in the mind and then in reality . The mental picture has to be drawn up first and this will later be manifested by our actions.
ND - Nutrition/Diet Six Packs Abs are made in the kitchen. This couldn't be more true. I experienced this first hand when I lost 20 pounds earlier this year. The major component of my regimen involved around a good diet. Cause my training schedules were nothing but erratic given my hectic work schedule. So Diet does play an extremely important role. You cannot outtrain a bad diet. Period.
CA - Cardio training Particularly important in a fat loss or six pack ab training regimen is Cardio Training. You simply cant beat cardio training to rack up the calorie deficit that is the cornerstone of leaning down. I am not a hardliner who would recommend only interval training or only steady state. You gotta mix it up, you gotta be consistent and you gotta be progressive. But dont neglect cardio. Make it and important component of your workout schedule.
RE - Resistance/Weight Training This is perhaps the most neglected part of a fat loss regimen, but perhaps the most important part. In my view more important than cardio. In my own experience, i did not have any access to cardio equipment, so i solely relied on Weight training to lose my body fat and boy oh boy - that really worked. This is extremely important for building and maintaining muscle mass which will keep your metabolism cranked up all day. Imagine what happens after a gruelling workout. Your muscle fibres are broken down and depending upon how good your workout was, your body is going to spend 1-2 days repairing the damage. which means you wil be losing extra calories by just bumming it around the next few days. Aint that amazing.
To summarise, these are the four pillars of a solid foundation for any fat loss/six pack abs program. You can buy all the fitness products available in the world. You can join all the fancy gyms in your area. But it all boils down to these four components. Devote your time to understanding these four concepts and success will be guaranteed.
