Ab workouts do not give you abs. But leg workouts can give you big legs... How does that workout? Ab workouts do not give you abs, but chest workouts can give you a big chest... Let me unveil this mystery for you right now so you can stop wasting your time in the gym and start getting some decent results.
The secret to getting abs is to remove as much of the fat on your stomach as possible. If nobody in the world had a layer of fat on their stomach, everybody would have abs. This is as true now as it will be in 1000 years.
If you can carve that layer of fat, no matter how think or thin, away from your stomach, then you are 95% of the way to having a fantastic set of abs. The other 5% come from training them to make them a little stronger and bigger, but the hardest part is actually burning the fat away from them in the first place.
Here is how to do that.
Combine weight lifting with interval training:
Interval training is simply picking an exercise such as running, boxing, swimming or anything else and going hard at it for 30 seconds and then taking it easy for a minute, then going hard again for 30 seconds and repeating this for 20-30 minutes with very few, if any breaks.
The second part to this is hitting the gym.
Do full body workouts such as dead lifts, squats, bench presses and shoulder presses.
This will see fat carve off like a hot knife through butter, as long as your nutrition is up to scratch.
