13 Tips to Get Your 6 Pack Abs

1. Drink water as soon as you wake up

The idea is to drink plenty of water even before you jump into the shower as everyone wakes up dehydrated after a long night of sleep. Cavaliere believes you should drink between 40 to 60 ounces of water (between 400-600 millilitres).

2. The order of the exercises you do are important

While performing ab exercises, start with the ones that focus on your lower abs, such as leg raises, because they are the most difficult and you probably need the extra energy to perform them correctly.

The last exercises you should do are the ones that make you move only your upper body, such as crunches.

3. Think of your plate as a clock

Divide your plate mentally into three areas. The largest portion should be reserved for fibrous carbohydrates. The second-largest portion should be protein, and finally starchy carbohydrates.

4. Make Reps Count, Don’t Count Reps

Trade training quantity for quality. “Speeding through repetitions to reach a certain number is not going to get you the results you want,” Cavaliere says.

5. Contract Your Adductors

6. Fold Your Rib Cage

7. Add Flavourful Spices

Jeff Cavaliere likes to have green tea extract, red pepper flakes, or cinnamon in his meals. These will increase insulin sensitivity, decrease your appetite, or increase your metabolism.

8. Eat ginger every day

Ginger helps with decreasing insulin sensitivity but also helps with recovery by decreasing muscle soreness.

9. How you breathe also matters

“Blow air out while pulling your stomach down,” in a move called cinching.

10. Choose a healthy cheat snack

To keep you on track you will have to eat cheat meals every once in a while, but make sure they are as healthy as possible. No need to indulge in a bucket of ice cream, but rather some whipped cream and yoghurt can also satisfy your cravings and not deviate you to get your 6 pack abs.

11. Don’t forget about your serratus and obliques

The corkscrew is a great exercise to work the serratus and obliques.

12. Cardio or ab exercises are not the basis to get your 6 pack abs

Nutrition is the foundation of everything you do. No matter what you do in terms of cardio or ab training, if your nutrition is a big obstacle, you will not get your 6 pack abs.

13. Extreme nutrition tactics will not help either

Apples, grapes and carrots can have sugar, yes, but avoiding them is not what will get your 6 pack abs.

Remember to be consistent with a healthy eating habit and training to get your 6 pack abs.
