How to Get a Six Pack

How do I get a six pack has got to be one of the top questions asked on How to Box - so here is the answer...

You have probably noticed a lot of boxers with unbelievably ripped abs and you want a set too. Their six packs are literally bursting out there for all to see.

Boxers, like bodybuilders, are masters at cutting fat off their body. They need the absolute maximum amount of muscle they can get and still remain in a certain weight class. That means there is no room for fat on their bodies. That plus the punishment of being hit in the stomach repeatedly means boxers have really nice six packs (abs of steel).

I've got good news for you. You already have a six pack. If you didn't your stomach and guts would fall out all over the place. Take your fingers and push on your stomach. Feel the resistance? Your abs are in there somewhere and you were born with them. They are naturally formed into that six pack (actually eight pack) you want so bad.

Now, the bad news. The only way to expose your six pack is to remove the layer of fat that is suffocating them. That is where boxing and more importantly - boxing nutrition can help you. In the next few pages I will teach you how to create meal plans and menus that will cause your body to eat up all that fat and expose your six pack. Doing 1000 crunches, 1000 situps or 1000 leg raises a day by itself is not going to give you a six pack -- eating right --> will.

I'm not saying exercise is not important. It speeds up fat removal, and ab exercises are important for shaping your six pack. But first you need grab all that fat, rip it off your stomach and expose your six pack so you can see what you are shaping. Unless you plan on cutting it off which I do not recommend :), you need to persuade your body to use the fat it has stored on your abs, your butt, your hips, or wherever else that last doughnut ended up.

A Word on Genetics

Your genes are going to have something to say about how quickly you get rid of the fat and show off your six pack. On the one hand you have those who are genetically advantaged. In the words of Tom Venuto, author of Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle,

On the other hand, are those people who are going to have to work really really hard and be really really patient to get their six pack to show. These people are the genetically disadvantaged. In the middle is everyone else - the vast majority - who are going to get their six pack by following an exercise routine and nutrition principles on a consistent basis.

Notice that eventually nearly everyone will show off a nice set of six pack abs if they are consistent for long enough. There is only a very small percentage (<1%) of people who are beyond hope. Chances are you are not one of them - so don't blame your inability to follow an exercise program or limit what you put in your mouth on genetics.

So, How Do You Get A Six Pack?

Let me make this really easy for you:

• 1. Start the 12 week boxing training program or some type of consistent exercise program.



• 2. Read the entire boxing nutrition book on How to Box and use the information to put together a meal plan that burns the fat and builds the muscle. If that seems hard to you, consider a meal planning solution.

The pages that follow explain boxing nutrition in general, but the principles, if applied are literally going to transform your body. You will lean how to control your weight so that you can box in whatever weight division you want and a nice side effect of that will be that your six pack will become more and more visible as the days go on. Stick to it and you too can have a six pack.
