Learn How to Get Ripped Abs Too

By Tom Silver

Time, dedication and a little hard work and you too can get ripped abs. Sure, you say, but I'm too skinny to get ripped abs. There is a plan that works even if you are too skinny.

Keep Your Plan in Focus Stay focused on your goal, ripped abs, and create a workout program that 'fits' your life. A workout program that consists of "circuit training" elements; bench presses, military presses, bicep and leg curls, rowing, back extensions, squats and dead lifts creates maximum variety so your muscles work hard and you don't get bored. Work your program only three to five days a week and see results.

Ab Work First The beginning of your workout is when you are the freshest; by starting with your abs you are more likely to work them harder. Also your abs will stay engaged and working throughout the entire workout.

Push Your Muscles For best result, lift 3 sets of 10 to 12 reps each and lift a weight that is comfortable in the beginning but by the last rep is a challenge. Do not hurt yourself; but be sure you are pushing your muscles. It may take a few sets to find your ideal lift weight; just make sure you are able to get 10 to 12 good reps.

Rest to Repair Once you have worked your muscles they need to rest and repair. It is ideal to lift weights every other day. When you weight train you are actually breaking down, fatiguing or 'injuring' the muscle. It is important that your muscles have a day to repair before they are fatigued again; thus becoming bigger and stronger.

Eat and Sleep Good nutrition and plenty of sleep are the fuel your body needs to get ripped abs. A diet that includes fresh fruits and vegetable, lean protein from chicken and beef, fish and omega-3 fatty acids and monounsaturated fatty acids and complex carbohydrates is a key to your ripped abs success. If you are underweight and need more calories choose a meal replacement shake instead of junk food.
