Six Pack Abs Workout Routine, Diet Plan & Exercises

Over the past couple months, my fitness routine has included many of my favorite strategies to get six pack abs.  Combining a clean diet with ample strength training and cardio has allowed me to significantly reduce my body fat to a level I have never been before.  As such, I’d like to share my six pack abs workout routine and diet plan.  Additionally, I’d like to review some of my preferred six pack abs exercises.  While I can’t guarantee you’ll see the same results as me, I hope that many of these tips will help you learn how to get six pack abs.

Staying in Shape with a Maintenance Workout Routine & Diet Plan

It might sound easy, but staying in shape can be just as difficult as losing fat or gaining muscle.  In a way, it’s more motivating to have a set goal and clearly defined approach.  The problem is that you can only keep a laser-like focus on your diet and exercise program for so long.  At some point, you should return to reality and enjoy yourself a bit.  Ironically, easing up a bit will help your body and mind recover and allow you to push harder again in the future.  Pushing too hard for too long can easily lead to burn out.  That’s where a maintenance workout routine and diet plan come into place. Maintenance Workout Routine & Diet Plan In my opinion, the goal of a maintenance workout routine and diet plan is to stay in good shape or marginally lose body fat and/or gain muscle.  This is not the time you should see 5-10lb fluctuations in your weight.  Simply try to maintain your body.  Here are three general approaches to adjust you...
