FITNESS MOTIVATION: Marc Fitt’s Top 5 Fitness Tips For Getting Ripped 6 Pack Abs!

1. Know What You Eat And Track Everything.

If you’re looking to see your six-pack by dropping your body fat, you need to actually be in a deficit of calories. This means eating fewer calories than your body requires depending on your level of activity. A good deficit would be around 500 calories. You don’t want to have too little calories, cause your body always needs extra calories to survive, so if you drop too much it’ll try to set aside fat in order to have a reserve for when you need.

2. Be Intense.

Be intense in the gym, and throughout each part of your fitness journey. If you want to get shredded, you have no chance but to respect your short rest times, and to do so, you really have to be in it mentally. If you want it to work, you need to really push yourself so you benefit from the after burn effect. How to do that? Well, you should aim for 20-30 reps per exercise and integrate variations like supersets, giant sets, drop sets, etc. This way, you’ll get your heart rate up higher and burn way more calories while training, and even in the days after. The reason being, your body will have to consume more calories than usual to repair the muscle fibers you destroyed while training.

3. Don’t Do Too Much Cardio.

A good weight lifting program can actually bring you better results than conventional fat burning, cardio workout programs. At the end of the road, more calories will be burned. When you do a 45-minute cardio session, you’re only burning calories while you’re running, biking, whatever you may be doing. When you lift weights, you tear muscle fibers, and leave your body needing to work to repair them for days after. If you really want to do cardio, HIIT cardio is the way to go. It’ll be the best way to use your time, and burn tons of calories. What is HIIT? HIIT is sprinting for 30 seconds, and then slowing to a walk for 1 minute. You repeat the process 6-10 times. It’ll take about 10 minutes, and you’ll burn way more calories than 45 minutes of boring slow jogging.

4. Don’t Cheat Yourself.

A lot of people don’t understand how much cheating can impact your results. They say, oh I’ll just cheat a little here, and here, but what they don’t realize is, eventually those all add up and make the difference between being in shape or not. Act like a champion if you want to be one. By following your plan well, you’ll also develop a sense of self-discipline like no other. That discipline will help you in all aspects of life. If you cheat yourself on a workout plan, what happens when you need to make a big life decision? Be true to yourself, and learn how it works in reality. The quicker you realize, the quicker you can change your situation.

5. Control Your Mind.

I’m a huge believer in the power of the mind. No matter what you say, or think, whether in a positive or negative way. So, if you want results, give the right message to your subconscious. Instead of saying, “I don’t want to be fat” tell yourself, soon, you’ll be in the best shape of your life and have a six-pack. Just by thinking, you can activate your body’s metabolism. When you’re stressed out, or are being emotionally affected by something, your heart rate increases, you start sweating, etc. Everything comes from the commander of your actions, which is your mind. If you are able to think you burn more fat by doing this, doing that, or eating this/that, then your mind will help you get there. Be positive, and you’ll attract good things in life.
