Get Brad Pitt Abs - Without Sit-ups

By Tony D. Martinez

Very soon, Christmas will be past and the New Year is right around the corner. Then will come all the New Year's resolutions to finally get those six-pack abs you have been dreaming about and your girlfriend drools over.

You will be placed in the category of hundreds of others ready to do the same thing. Workout plans will be prepared and you will be motivated in January but by February many will have reverted back to their old habits. This is largely due to the fact that most people don't plan a program that is suited to them. How about getting a Brad Pitt six-pack without even doing a single sit up?

Now that I have your attention, would you like to know more?

First off, this is not an advertisement for the latest gizmo that will magically transform your gut into model perfect abs! You know why? Because the bottom line is this, those machines Do Not Work! Ab loungers, rockers, and busters are designed to do one thing, take money out of your pocket. Moreover, they do that job very well, however machines will do little for your abdominal muscles.

You can do sit ups and crunches until you're bathed in your own sweat but you will never achieve what you desire. The reason behind this is that there is a thick layer of fat covering your muscles and preventing them from being seen.

Look, when you gain weight in the first place chances are it did not sink to your abdomen and nowhere else, right? You may have gained in your arms first then your abdomen or legs You get the picture? Genetics and bad habits decided how much you would gain and where it would go.

Since that is out of the way, you must realize that uncovering your abs will be a similar process. You will have to burn more calories than you consume and get a good cardiovascular workout.

Once you remove that excess layer of fat you'll be able to see your abs and can decide what exercise you need to do to make them look better.

The basic principle is the same; eat healthily and exercise. Using gimmicky machines and concentrating solely on your abs is a waste of time. Lose weight from your entire body and youll be on your way to Brad Pitt abs.

Everybody has different body structures and habits. By conducting a little research and doing some proper planning, you can work out a program that is suited to your particular situation. So start working today and impress your girlfriend and others. - 14915
