How To Get A Six Pack Watching TV

Six Pack Diet
Finally there is a way to achieve FAT LOSS without missing your favourite television show. I'm going to show you a way to exercise without leaving the house. No more excuses, this is the ultimate exercise plan for the couch potato.

You have always wanted a six-pack but there is just one problem that stands in your way, you are a self-confessed television addict. We are all aware that sitting on our backsides from dawn till dusk isn't what our bodies are designed to do. What follows is a system to break that habit without breaking your favourite lifestyle trend. The next time you get in from work and park yourself in front of the TV set until bedtime you have to promise to yourself to do the following exercise recommendations as described below. Remember there is nothing wrong with watching the TV if that's what you want to do, watching TV doesn't make people obese it is overeating and a lack of exercise.

The following recommendations can help jumpstart the metabolism and increase enthusiasm to help you want to create a stronger, healthier body without it interfering with your current lifestyle. This is what you need to do, choose a two-hour window you want to work in, typically the most watched programmes are half an hour long on an evening. There is nothing wrong with doing this exercise plan at anytime of the day as long as you stick to the following guidelines.


1. Perform a circuit before the first TV show of your 2-hour window begins.
2. Perform a circuit when the Ad break is on.
3. Perform a circuit when the TV show is ending.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 for 2 hours.

This should work out so you are moving every fifteen minutes or so. You need to do enough exercise for about three minutes work on each of the circuits. The aim is to achieve between five and ten circuits in each two-hour window. Do this 5 days a week and you will burn more calories and tone the muscles whilst doing the same thing as you would normally be doing. In case you forgot what that is its sitting in front of the TV, whilst probably feeding your face with the wrong type of calories.

Here are some sample circuits

Circuit 1. Bodyweight squats for 30 seconds immediately followed by press-ups for 30 seconds
(Repeat 3 times).

Circuit 2. Static wall sit, hold for 30 seconds immediately followed by alternating lunges 30 seconds. (Repeat 3 times).

Circuit 3. Alternating Step Ups on to a Chair for 30 seconds immediately followed by chair dips for 30 seconds. (Repeat 3 times).

Circuit 4. Static wall sit, hold for 30 seconds immediately followed by a plank, hold for 30 seconds.
Repeat 3 times).

Circuit 5. Bent leg raise with a pelvic tilt for 30 seconds work immediately followed by reverse crunches for 30 seconds. (Repeat 3 times).

Remember to stretch any tight muscles for around 20 seconds before and after your circuits. This could be done whilst watching the TV show so it doesn't interfere with any of the circuits. When designing a FAT LOSS programme there are millions of circuit options to choose from and more than one right way to do it. The best way is always the simplest way. If you opt for the simple way i.e. fewer exercises it will give you more focus on getting the technique correct.

After doing this for a few weeks your body's demand for proper nutrition to supply the energy needed for the extra work will be overpowering. For FREE Fat Loss information everyday for 10 days visit FAT LOSS EVERY 10 DAYS

Fat Loss Nutrition For The Bodybuilder

Six Pack Diet

There’s a fine line between dieting for weight loss and building a good physique. Some bodybuilders have reverse anorexia and will compromise the quality of food just to get their desired daily calorie intake in the hope it will pack on the muscle. It’s not that easy and is one of the many misconceptions that dominate the thinking of a typical bodybuilder, especially the beginner. Calories are not just calories; there are bad calories and good calories and even the good calories need to be properly balanced for best results. The same diet can have an effect on different people in different ways, each and every one of us is unique in the ability to digest and assimilate nutrients. Our individual genetic make up determines this.

Bodybuilding magazines are guilty of publishing diets with the inclusion of stacks of food supplements for building muscle and stripping the fat. Sometimes you have to look hard to see food on the list because there are so many recommended shakes and tablets for this and for that. Nutrients from natural food take a back seat with the recommendations you see in these mainstream magazines.

The bodybuilding-publishing world gets the reader to believe that certain supplements are essential for a SIX PACK DIET and the most important aspect of a bodybuilder’s daily nutritional intake. These days there are food supplements crafted to any goal. It’s not hard to realise there is a hidden agenda to these magazines; they are all trying to sell something. If the magazine isn’t financially connected to the food supplements recommended you could bet they need the advertising revenue to stay afloat.

The quality of nutrition will determine the speed of progress with a SIX PACK DIET and the amount of results you achieve with it. Lifting weights doesn’t and can’t turn a bad food into a good food. It’s impossible to reverse the effects of a bad diet with exercise. It is also impossible to cancel out the bad effects of poor nutrition with food supplements. Food supplements are designed to supplement the diet and not take over it. A few of the top brands can be beneficial for convenience and nothing much more. A closer look at these supplements and you would find a list of cheap processed ingredients mixed with artificial sweeteners. My recommendation is no more than 10% of your daily diet should be from food supplements. Food from organic and free-range sources is far more superior then powdered and tablet concoctions.

How To Get A Six Pack Copying Tom Hanks

Have you seen the film Castaway starring Tom Hanks? This isn't a film review but rather a review of how we live our lives today compared to our primitive ancestors. On the film Castaway the character played by Tom Hanks ends up stranded on a remote island for four years, having no choice but to fend for himself for survival just like a Stone Age man.

He didn't sit around all day waiting to get fat, he was forced into doing exercise by needing to hunt for food for survival. There was no processed food, no soft drinks or limitless calories on hand, he was forced into a perfect SIX PACK DIET. He was also forced to work his body the way it was designed to by pulling, pushing, bending, twisting, squatting, lunging, throwing and even climbing his way through a typical day so he could hunt food and eat to stay alive.

This tells us a few things about our modern day existence.

1. We don't need to do any form of exercise in order to make it through a typical day.
2. We have unlimited supplies of calories at our disposal without needing to exert our bodies for them.
3. The food choices we have are not all from nature.
4. The most convenient foods we eat today and over consume are man made. These contain added artificial concoctions, which are almost impossible to pronounce.

Compared to our ancestors we move less, eat more, have higher stress levels and eat poorer quality foods. The majority of us do very little exercise daily, sedentary lifestyles take over our day to day existence leaving our bodies under worked and over fed with the wrong fuels. Put all this together and you have an obesity problem.

Taking a leaf out of a castaway like Tom Hanks would dramatically reduce body fat in no time at all by giving us a natural SIX PACK DIET. Doing a little daily exercise and eating natural food is the quickest way to a six-pack and reduced fat on the body. But above all it is a healthier way to live your life.
