A shredded mid section always looks great on a person. The only thing sexier than a guy strolling on the shore with a ripped abdomen is a bikini-clad girl with six pack abs.
Times have changed now. Gone are the days of the busty blonde bombshell with pouting lips as the ultimate sex symbol. Nowadays, the icon of sexiness is a toned and tanned tomboy with six-pack abs.
Girls with washboard abs are abound- fighting aliens on the silver screen, Madonna strutting her ripped bod onstage, and even in mixed martial arts tournaments- ring girls before the fights and even IN the fights as contenders!
Girls with washboard abs weren’t born with them of course- it’s not inherited through the genes like a sexy butt or an ample bosom. Women with six pack abs get them through a combination of healthy eating habits and workouts that are optimized for burning body fat.
To burn belly fat, one has to actually concentrate on burning body fat. It’s anatomically impossible to focus on losing fat on one part of the body. The only way to get a six-pack then is to eat smart and do fat busting exercises until the curves of the abdominal muscles emerge.
There’s actually little difference in the skeletal muscle of men and women. Consequently, exercises and food intake for effective muscle-building and fat-loss for both sexes are the same. It’s common-sense, really- burn belly fat, reveal the abs.
The quickest path to flat, washboard abs is by doing exercises that burn fat effectively and including fat-busting food in your diet. There are citrus fruits that actually render fat easier to break down and thus shorten your time in the gym.
However, not many people are aware that building muscle (aside from looking good) also increases the metabolism. Muscle tissue actually expends caloric energy even while at rest. Developing the abdominal and other muscles then can have a dual purpose for girls and significantly shortening the time it takes to reveal that sexy six pack on the beach.
