I get this question from guys all the time. What’s the easy way to get six pack abs? These days I try not to look annoyed but I admittedly don’t have a good poker face. I immediately know this guy is looking for a quick fix, a magic pill, perfect ab exercise, or top-secret diet plan that will result in this lazy bastard building six pack abs overnight. This type of clown can’t really be serious.

Yes, this may seem harsh but I never verbalize this self-talk commentary. In response to his question, I pose a few questions of my own.

1. What’s the easy way to get rich?

2. What’s the easy way to bag the perfect 10 chatting it up with her girlfriends in the corner?

3. What’s the easy way to be a good father?

The conversation usually takes a U-turn at this point because the guy’s belief system has been challenged. Anything worth accomplishing is not going to be easy. How many people would be impressed with your ability to open a pack of gum and chew a piece? Exactly. Now that Kevin, the dream shatterer, has caused all the losers to leave the page, let’s talk about getting ripped.

“I Have All The Answers”

That’s what some fitness gurus and ab diet nutrtionist would have you believe. Guys and gals who are sincere in their desire to have a washboard abs are bombarded with slick marketing campaigns that push your “hot buttons”. Touting “easy six pack abs” anything is an assault on your wallet and complete insult of your intelligence. Such tag lines are used to sell books, ab machines, diet plans, whatever. Yes, some will have helpful information for you but it won’t be the final say in whether you get your six pack. You are!

What Have You Accomplished?

If you have ever accomplished anything meaningful in your life, you can build a six pack to rival the Greek gods. By channeling that dedication, discipline, and determination you are 80% of the way there. For those of you who have yet to accomplish anything, I challenge you to become passionate about something before attempting to acquire the ever-elusive six pack.

You Are What You Eat

If you’ve ever tried developing six pack abs before and never saw any results, you’re poor eating habits probably did you in. Forget about the ultra-restrictive, Hollywood fad diets for now. Instead, focus on gradually improving your eating habits over time. This will almost completely eliminate junk food craving withdraw.

Ab-solutely Do Work ‘Em

Ab workout routines are necessary to develop a strong core. There’s no getting around it. Ab exercises are a distant third in importance to getting ripped abs in comparison to the first two:

1. Making the decision to go after it

2. Improving your eating habits.

The Newest Weapon In My Arsenal

Yes, I already have six pack abs but for I have yet to take them into the stratosphere of fitness health. I enlisted a program called Six Pack Quest as a road map to help reach my goal. I’m usually not impressed by ab systems but this one outdoes many of the most popular ones 10 times over.

What I like about the creator, Vince DelMonte, is that he focuses on three keys that I used to get my six pack: mindset, nutrition, and exercise.
