6 Pack Abs Misconceptions - What People Think It's About

I speak to people daily about their health and fitness and I'm now 100% certain that everyone has some idea of what it takes to get 6 pack abs or the best method to get a flat stomach... Or at least they think they do.

People very commonly have misconceptions about who can get six pack abs and what it takes to actually make it real. Some of the things I've heard include:

• I'm too old to get a six pack
• I don't expect to get flat abs
• I would like a six pack but I doubt it will happen
• Doesn't diet soda help me get a flat stomach?
  
• I work on my abs all the time but I still can't lose stomach fat

The reason people go on about these things and the same reason that people don't get results with 6 pack abs is just because of their misconceptions. There is no formal teaching ground for the average person to learn about what the best exercise methods are, and most people don't want people telling them what to do anyway.

So what should people know about 6 pack abs if they want to see some results?
Well, first of all there are no "right" or "wrong" ways to do this. There are ways to get results and ways to bypass the results you want. The first step is always learning how to get the results you want.

If you want 6 pack abs or you want to flatten your stomach and look sexy for the beach then you should start out with your nutritional education. You're already eating right? So this is something that you can do instantly to see some results now.
The rules when it comes to nutrition are:

1. Avoid the deep fried foods
2. Keep it as fresh as you can - load up with Vitamins and minerals, fresh greens and biodynamic or organic foods. Always think fresh and raw.
3. Don't go too long in between meals (3 hours max before eating something - apart from when you're sleeping of course)
4. Don't overeat. This is major. Get control of yourself and eat a portion size that is suitable for you (everyone is different but you should be able to tell when you overeat).
5. Stay the heck away from the "diet" products - this is one of the biggest misconceptions about 6 pack abs. Taking these as replacements for sugar is ludicrous.

One of the major exercise misconceptions about how to get 6 pack abs is doing sit ups. Sit ups are one of the WORST exercises to help you get 6 pack abs. It's all explained in my eBook.
