How To Get A Six Pack - For Couch Potatoes
OK, so you are definitely a couch potato. Admit it. That’s the first step toward taking action. And, you have acknowledged that you want to know how to get a six pack. That’s another action step.
You were not born a a couch potato. You did not magically become a couch potato overnight. But, for some time now now, you have had thoughts about firming up your body and developing well-defined abs. And, you’re at the point you seriously want to know how to get a six pack. So, let’s take a realistic look at your ultimate goal and then develop a very simple action plan for reaching that goal.
First, your goal. What is your expectation? Do you expect to develop a body that looks like the body builders we’ve seen on TV, on the Internet, and in books and magazines? Be honest with yourself. Are you willing to make the important changes to your lifestyle required to develop an incredible body? Or do you have an expectation of developing your body so that your muscles are simply attractive and defined? While this goal will require changes and perseverance, the changes to your lifestyle will not be as dramatic as the first option.
When defining your goal, please be honest with yourself. It’s important that you have a clear understanding of what your body will look like after you have achieved your goal.
Now, let’s consider your action plan. And yes, it absolutely will take action on your part to effect ANY kind of change. If you’re serious about how to get a six pack, you will need to be serious about your action plan.
You’ve already acknowledged that you are a couch potato. The primary action required has two parts: 1) get off the couch and 2) no more snacks. So, by immediately getting off the couch and putting the snacks away, you have already taken a giant step toward reaching your goal.
Next, you’ll need to create an exercise plan and commit to a reasonable diet. Let’s look at each one of these.
You already know that your exercises will need to be both well-defined and rigorous in order to achieve your goal. But, maybe you can start with baby steps. Since you’re already off the couch, try doing some exercises while you’re still in front of the TV. Hey, there’s nothing wrong with watching TV while you exercise! Get on the floor . . . do some jumping jacks, toe touches, situps, leg lifts, push ups . . . just do something to create movement. That’s an excellent way to begin your exercise program. It’s ok to take several days to define your exercise plan. But, it’s not OK to stay on the couch. Get off the couch, get on the floor, and create some movement.
If you actually put the snacks away, you’ve already taken an important step toward changing your diet. Like your exercise plan, your diet plan does not have to be some drastic, life-changing event. You simply need to become aware of everything you put into your mouth and practice some moderation until you find a diet plan with which you are comfortable.
So, you still interested in how to get a six pack? You’ve admitted you’re a couch potato and you have a vision of what you expect your body to look like in the near future. You’re moving around in front of the couch instead of sitting on it. And you put the snacks away and you’re aware of everything that goes into your mouth. That’s an excellent start to getting the six pack abs you’ve been thinking about!
