Hey guys Vince Del Monte here with another video coaching lesson from YourSixPackQuest.com and today I want t talk about ripped abs.
I cannot count how many times people ask me, “Vince, how do I get ripped abs?” And I am going to give you three pieces of advice that is going to be more mental stuff today, things that you can use to help making a decision you need to get the results you want because a lot of times people email me questions and they already know the answers and you are just having a hard time making the decision for yourself.
For example I have a lot of people asking me, Vince can I drink alcohol on the weekends? I said sure you could drink alcohol on the weekends, why couldn’t you, but you need to ask yourself this question, would drinking alcohol on the weekends get you closer to your goals or further from your goals. Take responsibility of your decision and then move forward.
Next piece of advice I want to give you guys on getting ripped abdominals is that cardio is not dead. Do not believe. You know, fitness gurus who tell you that you do not need to do any cardio to lose body fat. Sure you might be able to incorporate a high intense weight training program for three or four months and drop 20, 30 pounds but if you want to get ripped abdominals. I’m talking males—5%, 6%, 7% percent body fat, females I’m talking the 11%, 12%, 13% body fat, I am talking the lowest of lows, you need to do cardio when you talk to any fitness model or body builder and they do what I am going to tell you to do differently though, as supposed to do it outrageous amounts like one to two hours a day is to focus on training harder. Folk, you are getting more out of your actual workout, think about it. If you can train at a higher intensity, you are going to burn a greater percentage of calories, within those percentages of calories or there will be a greater percentage of fat. So, instead of going for a steady 60-minute walk, try and go for a hard 30 minute walk.
When you download my program, I include a bonus product called the killer ab-core workout and it incorporates a very, very unique way of doing cardio you have never seen in any magazine, you have never read in any book and I combined it with a certain kind of training in the same workout that gets you explosive results, very, very powerful results. There has actually been some research that shows that you can actually spot reduce not too enormous degrees, but smaller degrees with this form of training and I include that in the book, so check that out. It is very, very powerful it’s going to accelerate results.
Last piece of advice I wan to give you guys for getting ripped abs is to control your insulin levels. What that means is you need to start eliminating your sugars. So, obviously candies, sweets, doughnuts, pastries, chocolate, that stuff got to go. Now it all depends too on where you are starting. If you are starting at rock bottom, you are a complete beginner. I am not going to tell you to go from eating two chocolate bars a day to zero chocolate bars a day, good progression for you might be to go from two chocolate bars a day to one and a half and then to one, then to half and then eventually none.
So think about eliminating your sugars in a gradual, progressive fashion just like you would with your training program.
If you are to come to my gym and I were to train you, I would not put you on a five day body building program on the first week, we start off with more basic, traditional workouts and that is the same philosophy you have to have with eliminating your sugars. So think about one sugar you are eating right now and eliminate it, maybe it is ice cream before you go to bed. For the next week, I want you to eliminate just the ice cream. Next week you might eliminate all the juices in your diet. The week after, you might start focusing on eliminating some of the dairy in your diet, it is a step by step process.
I put the whole package together for you at YourSixPackQuest.com and I include, as a matter of fact, over 10 different meal plans that go in 2000 calo
