Get a Six Pack in a Month – Truth Is, It Will Take You Much Longer

Okay, so you want to know how to get a six pack in a month. Is it really possible to get your abdominals that toned so quickly? The thing about six pack abs is that everyone seems to want them but so few people are actually willing to do what it takes to get them. The thing is everyone has abdominal muscles, but for most of us they are covered by a layer of fat. The truth is your abs won’t show unless your body fat is less that 10% (15% for women).
So, the angle you should approach this from is to look at reducing your overall body fat percentage. So first you need to actually determine what your fat percentage is. This can be measured by a personal trainer or your doctor, or alternatively you can buy yourself a body composition monitor.
Once you know what your percentage is, you then need to calculate how much weight you need to lose to get yourself down to the ideal body fat level.
For example, let’s say you weighed 200 pounds, and your body fat was 20%. If your goal was to get down to 9% fat, then you would do the following calculation:
* 0.2 minus 0.09 = 0.11
* Plus 1 = 1.11
* 200 divided by 1.11 =’0 pounds (this is what you need to get your weight down to)
So, in order to lose that amount of body fat, you will need to reduce your overall body weight by 20 pounds. However, there is one key thing you must keep in mind: This must be done slowly, for example over 20 or more weeks, with good nutrition and good exercises. If you try to do it any faster than that, you will only mess up your metabolism, which will cause you more weight problems in the long-term.
