Are you looking to get an awesome set of six pack abs and want to know just what workouts are the best? It really is not all that difficult, surprisingly enough. The problem is that most peoples efforts are misdirected. I am going to tell you the absolute best workouts to get six pack abs and you will never have thought of them on your own.But first a word about nutrition, because, if you are eating the wrong things, you are shooting yourself in the foot. It has been said that great abs are made in the kitchen not the gym and this is true. The trick to getting great ab muscles is not building the muscle but losing the fat hiding the muscle. By avoiding processed foods (most of the food products you find at the store) you will be going a long way to getting your six pack abs.This is because most of those foods have additives which actually make you fat. It is best to eat things closer to the way nature intended such as fresh fruits and vegetables, nuts, lean beef, bison, chicken, pork and fish.OK, now on to the workout. When I say that most peoples efforts are misdirected that is because it takes 3,500 calories to burn a pound of fat and doing sit ups or crunches just do not burn...more

I am going to introduce you to what may just become your favorite exercise tool. It is called a kettle bell and has been a staple of the Russian weight training regimen for hundreds of years. The exercises you will perform with this piece of equipment are very simple and even look pointless at times. However, you will be winded almost immediately. In fact, research has shown that you can burn up to 20 calories per minute using a KB. This is important because along with working the abs you want to burn fat so you can see the results of your efforts.Men typically use a 16 kg or 35 lb KB and women use a 12 KG or 25 lb KB.The first exercise you will do is called the halo. This is a deceptively simple exercise in which you hold the KB with both by the handle at your chest so that it is facing bottoms up. Now you simply rotate it around your head 10 times in one direction and 10 times in the other direction. You will notice that the exercise works a number of muscles including your abs.The second exercise is called the two handed swing. Start with the KB between your feet. Squat down and pick it up with both hands. Lift up with your legs and thrust out with your hips so that the KB is...more
