Get Six Pack Abs Fast – Is It An Impossible Dream?

I am 5 decades old, but I’m not ashamed to mention my age. If life begins at 40, then I’m just 10 years into it. But what I’m really embarrassed with is the size of my waistline. It’s close to 40 (inches) and not a bit appealing. I really wish I can do something about it. I wonder if those tips on how to get a six pack fast really work.

At my age I’m not really into strenuous exercise. I’m ok with walking, some jogging and a lot of stretching. But if you ask me to do high intensity work-out, I’d quit. Aside from the fact that I’m asthmatic, my propensity to exercise is really not that high (short of saying that I’m really not into it). So is there still a chance for me to get six pack abs fast?

Some say that diet plays a major role in getting six pack abs fast. Well not directly though. The theory is that the six pack abs is there except that they are covered with fat. Eliminate the fat and lo and behold your beautiful abs is exposed. So the idea here is to bring down your body fat level to 7% and you’ll get the well-chiseled mid-section you’re yearning for. But it’s easier said than done. If you can do away with eating “white food” – white rice, pasta, white flour, and sugar – then you’re more than halfway there. But unfortunately, rice is my staple food, and for some unknown reason I feel weak whenever I’m unable to eat rice at least once a day.  Does that mean that I’m forever damned, that I’m stuck with this body similar to that of Homer Simpson’s?

If I can get myself to minimize my carbohydrate intake and do minimal exercise along the way, probably I still have a fighting chance.  Planks are highly recommended. Get down on your elbows and toes and hold that position for a minute (or what seems like eternity to me). Do these 3 times a day every other day, and you’ll end up with a painful midsection (at least initially). The 1st few sessions will result in discomfort but as they say, “no pain, no gain”.

For those with enough will power to eat only a “clean” diet, you are most likely to achieve your goal of getting six pack abs fast.  Sprinkle a little “plank” exercise and it’s a cinch. As for me, if it’s for me then it will happen. If not, well I’m willing to forget it.
