Mood:  energetic
Ok, I already posted an ab workout to help you get started on your way to having a great six pack. However, your physique can only be as good as the food you feed it with, so here's a good diet plan that I have found will work wonders for a body.

7 a.m.: Bowl of whole grain cereal
Banana or other piece of fruit
Low sugar whey protein shake
1 cup light yogurt

9:30 a.m.: 4 crowns raw broccoli
4 baby carrots
Handful of almonds

12:00 p.m. Medium sized grilled chicken breast
Serving of brown rice
Small baked potato

2:30 p.m. Low sugar whey protein shake
Small bowl of oatmeal
1 cup light yogurt
1 piece wheat bread or toast

5:00 p.m. 1 small salad made from baby spinach
Piece of wheat bread or toast

7:30 p.m. Serving of meat such as fish, chicken, or
lean beef
Small baked potato or brown rice
Serving of green vegetable such as
broccoli

10:00 p.m. Low sugar whey protein shake
Small bowl of oatmeal

It seems like a lot I know, and it is at first. Soon, however, following a diet plan like this will seem like second nature to you and you will look back with disbelief at the days when you were eating fast food 3 times a day. Believe me, this diet along with a good workout will make you feel like a million bucks 24/7. Remember to drink plenty of water!

A Workout to Get Your Abs Looking Great
Mood:  energetic
Ok, all you fitness junkies who want to have a great looking six pack check out this workout. Bear in mind as you read that this workout was meant to be performed rapidly, with no more than 20 or 30 seconds of rest between each set. If you do this ab workout and eat right, you'll have great abs in no time.

Set 1: 5 minutes intense cardio

Hanging leg raises (10 reps)

Hanging knee raises (10 reps)

Crunches on floor with hips tucked (30 reps)

Torso Twists with medicine ball (75 reps)

Set 2: 5 minutes intense cardio

Decline situps (25 reps)

Side lying oblique crunch (25 reps each side)

Bicycle crunch (40 reps each side)

Leg raises on floor (15 reps

Set 3: 5 minutes intense cardio

Cat stretch (10 reps)

Cable crunches (30 reps with 60-70 lbs.)

Russian twists (100 reps w/medicine ball)

5 minutes intense cardio


Now, I know that this seems like a lot of cardio. You should probably run around 3 miles in the 20 minutes total of cardio. You see, the way that the cardio mixes with the ab workout itself creates sort of a start/stop effect that makes the workout more intense and makes your abs look nice and tight. And remember, if you don't back up this workout with a good eating plan you're just wasting your time. Soon I will post a good diet plan that will help you get your core looking super shredded.
