Understanding Abdominals

Abdominals! One of the muscles in your body that has several names. Some say abs, 6 or 8 pack, and even core. Whatever you may know them as, they are responsible for holding your upper body and lower body together. You have to admit, that are great set of them will set you apart from those who fail to get theirs to show. The best way to get your abdominals to show is to best understand how they operate. So, here's a little education that will open your eyes and hopefully start you on a new strategy. There's actually 4 different sections that make up your entire abdominals and they are as follow: transversus abdominis, rectus abdominis, external oblique muscles, and internal oblique muscles. The definition and its functions are located in the diagram below:

Transverse abdomininis: Located under the obliques, it is the deepest of the abdominal muscles and wraps around your spine for protection and stability.

Rectus abdominis: Located along the front of the abdomen, this is the most well-known abdominal. Often referred to as the "six pack."

External abdominal oblique: Located on the side and front of the abdomen.


Internal abdominal oblique: Located under the external obliques, running in the opposite direction.


Getting your abdominal to show is challenging and is one of the most researched topic when it comes to fitness. They're are at least a hundred reasons why this is difficult because of the way our food is processed today and your knowledge level on how they operate. Plus, there's a lot of supplements and fat loss pills that have failed in their promises and it kind of discourages those who may have tried them. I hope that you haven't lost faith because I have a video that will give you hope and possibly motivation.

Why is Obtaining 6 Pack Abs So Hard?

Why does it seem difficult to have visible 6 or 8 pack abs? I know this is one question that most have asked yourself or others and you've probably came across many different answers.Most of them may have been true and most of them may have been not. It can definitely get confusing, especially when what you're trying has been exposed or it just doesn't work at all.

I truly believe that the reason most people struggle points to the fact that you haven't been taught how to attack them from an eating perspective. Exercising, crunches, and core exercises are great to help strengthen your abs but they will not make them show. The way that you get them to show is to reduce the belly fat that lies over them. I can tell you from experience that it's definitely easier said than done. Getting to that level takes discipline ladies and gentlemen as well as education. It is not an overnight process. That last sentence is worth repeating. "IT IS NOT AN OVERNIGHT PROCESS!" Excuse me from using all caps, I just want to be sure you understand the statement. I don't want you to get discourage either because I'm here to educate and make sure you start on a more effective path. Take a look at the video below to get started.

I came across this quote and want to share it with you.

"There's A Difference Between Interest And Commitment. When You're Interested In Doing Something, You Do It Only When It's Convenient. When You're Committed To Something, You Accept No Excuses; Only Results." by Kenneth Blanchard

Abs Abs Abs

This seems like the#1 topic that's on people mind when I log on to the internet or watch YouTube videos and there also seems to be some type of magical pill or abs machine that's getting promoted. So, people will tuned into these infomercials and see these models with a six pack (most were paid to advertise whatever product) and they expect to look just like that in a short period of time. Now, I know that you're sick and tired of buying these products and machines and getting minimal or no results at all. I'm actually sick and tired for you and I hate when those type of ads somehow make it to whatever page I'm viewing. In order to get rid of or slim down your midsection, you will have to understand your abdominal muscles and fat.

Understand that your body needs fat to store energy and the abdominal area is where it stores most of the fat. So, what does that mean? To put it in a nutshell, that's the last place where fat is going to leave. In order to have yours show like those models is to decrease your body fat and find the foods that fight fat naturally. If your thinking about liposuction, then I urge you to forget about it because it's not safe in my opinion. For one, during that procedure, it strips away your fat cells and fat will store wherever there are fat cells. So, if fat cells are no longer in your abdominal area, then your body fat must go to where the cells are. This means it will go to other areas of the body like your fingers, neck, or wherever it find those fat cells.

You have to control what goes into your body and stay away from foods that are high in fat, sodium (which leaves you bloated), and foods that have trans fat in them. You will have to find alternatives and give up the fast and greasy foods. Exercising is important but the real key to obtaining great viewable abs is through the foods that enter your body. Get away from the "diet" routine and just choose a healthier way to eat. To me, diets are temporary & you will go back to whatever you were doing when you see a little results. How about just making a decision to eat healthier and maintain those abs. Take in more fruits and vegetables and less meat and potatoes or you can cheat yourself and continue buying those crazy pills or machines and don't get results. The choice is always yours so let's make it the right one! There's a lot more to learn and I will share some more info here and later on but for now, get the basics down first! See you soon..
