How to Get Ripped Abs

By Tom Silver

A little hard work, time and a plan and you too can have ripped abs. Even if you think you are too skinny, the right plan will work for you.

Focus on a Plan Create a workout plan the 'fits' your life and meets your goal of ripped abs. Work your plan three to five days and week and you will see results. The workout plans with the greatest success include elements of "circuit training" including bench presses, military presses, bicep and leg curls, rowing, back extensions, squats and dead lifts. The objective is to create variety so you and your muscles don't get bored.

Start With Abs Begin every workout by working your abs. The beginning of your workout is when you are the freshest and working your hardest. By starting with your abs you are more likely to work your abs harder then at the end of your workout. This will also help you keep your abs engaged throughout your entire workout.

Tax Your Muscles to the Max For ideal results your exercise sets need to consist of 10 to 12 reps per set at a weight that is easy at the start but by the end is a challenge to lift. Do not hurt yourself; it may take a few sets to find your ideal weight to lift. Remember, once you find the ideal weight to lift, every two to three weeks you need to increase the weight. Your muscles will get used to lifting that weight and you need to keep pushing your muscles.

Rest Your Muscles It is important that you allow your muscle a chance to rest and repair. When lifting weights to build bulk and get ripped abs you are actually injuring or breaking down the muscle and it is key that your muscles have a day to repair and rebuild. Lifting weights every other day is ideal. By lifting weights every other day you give your muscles a chance to repair themselves; become bigger and stronger.

Eat Plenty and Sleep Well Finally, plenty of sleep and good nutrition are important elements to getting ripped abs especially if you a little underweight you need the right fuel to stay focused and get results. Be sure your diet contains plenty of fresh fruits and vegetable, lean proteins life beef and chicken, fish, omega-3 fatty acids and monounsaturated fatty acids and complex carbohydrates. If you can't get enough calories through 'good' food choices, don't reach for junk food; a better choice is a meal replacement shake.
