Building a set of six pack abs is not going to be easy.
Make no mistake; it will require hard work and sacrifice.
But it's also a fact that many of the ab-trainers that appear on TV infomercials, magazines, etc totally ignore this fact.
So before continuing, I'd like to set the record straight.
The fact is that to be able to get six pack abs, you must lower your body fat and increase your overall muscle definition.
You'll need to get into shape...
that's the only way that you'll ever be able to have chiseled six pack abs.
Defining your end goal is important and will help you achieve your dream to have six pack abs.
However, it's not that easy and it will be challenging.
But by the time your abs are in tip-top shape, your legs and arms are going to be lean and strong and your shoulders and back are going to be well defined and muscular.
Your whole body is going to be very fit.
You're going to notice a difference on the inside too.
Your heart, lungs, cardiovascular and immune systems are also going to thank you for making them healthier.
Defining extraordinary health by how your abs and overall body looks is not new.
Building six pack abs is one of the oldest self-empowerment ideas around.
The Spartans aimed to cultivate a balance between mind and body.
The Romans described this as "Mens sana in corpora sano" which translates as "A sound mind in a sound body".
Remember the mythological figures of Zeus, Atlas, Hercules and Apollo who were all depicted with ripped abs.
Even later, in the 15th and 16th centuries, Da Vinci and Michelangelo studied the Greeks.
Michelangelo saw the body as a manifestation of soul and character.
He believed that if someone had a strong mind and pure soul they should be represented as lean, strong and muscular in his sculptures and paintings.
His paintings on the Sistine Chapel depict Adam and the young King David with clearly defined abdominal muscles and muscular, well shaped, bodies.
So, when you clearly define your goal as wanting sculpted, lean and muscular six pack abs, you are deciding that you will not only work hard to get in shape - but also to stay in shape! And when you do achieve this and can see your six pack, you will have created your own piece of art! You will have mastered one more thing - the ability to control and command your mind and body to create the perfect set of six pack abs!
Make no mistake; it will require hard work and sacrifice.
