I recently took a great question on my ‘The Truth About Six Pack Abs’ blog from on of my readers, Nancy. She wanted to know, “I want to develop toned abs, rather than a ripped six pack. Can the Truth About Abs be tailored to my needs, or is it just for those that want to truly get ripped six pack abs?”

I get that question all the time, and it’s a great one!

Well the answer is ‘yes’. The Truth About Abs can be used by people that want a sexy, flat stomach. The program is not limited to body builders, or those people that want ripped, washboard abs.

Let’s look at why this is true…

Below are the top 3 reasons why you will either achieve your six pack dreams, or fail to get defined abs. The factors are ranked from most, to least important:

#1 – How Much Fat Are You Carrying (Body Fat %)

#2 – The Size Of Your Ab Muscles

#3 – Testosterone Levels and Your Gender

Let me explain some more…

How Much Fat Are You Carrying (Body Fat %)

Without a doubt the single most important factor in deciding whether you have ‘washboard abs’ or a flat, toned stomach is your body fat percentage.

In order to get ‘ripped’ you will need to get your body fat down MUCH lower than if you simply want to get toned.

The very same exercise and nutritional techniques are used whether you want to get toned or ripped. The truth about abs let’s you adapt this knowledge to your goals. So it is a perfect fit for both.

If your goal is to get toned, just ease up on the workouts as soon as you reach your desired physique. This way you will MAINTAIN your body fat percentage, rather than reducing it any further.

For those people that want to get ripped, the idea is to really crank up the workouts as soon as you have a toned mid section. This way you will drop your body fat even lower and start to see the ‘ripped’ look.

The Size Of Your Abdominal Muscles

To a lesser degree, the size of your abdominal muscles dictates whether you have a ripped abdomen, or a flat, toned mid-section. (No matter how big your stomach muscles, you will never be able to see them until you reduce your body fat percentage far enough).

Mike Geary’s program teaches you the very best abdominal exercises to increase the size of your 6 pack, but again ONLY if this is your goal.

Mike’s ab routines give you the option to build either ripped or toned abs. With varying levels of intensity you can tailor each workout to your own goals. Getting ripped, or getting toned. No problem.

Testosterone Levels and Your Gender

A lot of women worry that too much exercise will make them big and bulky. However, the truth about six pack abs explains that this is not really true, and you have nothing to worry about.

If you are a lady worried about getting big then there are two reasons to rest easy: 1. You don’t have the testosterone levels to grow huge muscles. 2. You won’t be lifting the crazy weights needed to build big muscles.

But why be scared of ‘increasing muscle mass’? If you replace body fat with slender, toned muscles then you will appear slimmer, not big and bulky. Your problem areas will actually reduce in size.

Ladies, you would need to be lifting some pretty crazy weights to develop the kind of ripped six pack abs you see on male fitness models and in magazines.

Of course that’s cool if you want to. But no pressure.

Most people believe that getting in shape means going to the gym. The truth is, we don’t have to do that. There are various ways, and some fun ways that we can use to get fit. And these fun ways can change over the course of the year with every season.

Most of the time, people start an exercise regime just to get rid of some extra pounds or always maintained the body weight that you have. For those who are overweight, they are always looking for ways to lose weight fast. In order to do this, it’s important to learn how to lose fat without interfering in your life, or in the least way possible.

Take for instance your diet. This doesn’t mean that you have to start writing. It only means that you have to make a few changes that will benefit you in the long run. For example, if you want to continue eating the amount of food that you eat every day, instead of eating in two or three meals, it would be wise to divide up the portions. So you eat a little bit throughout the day.

Your body will be able to burn calories quicker in this way. Being smart about the food that you do eat will also go the extra mile. While still eating the same types of foods that you love to eat, cook them in a different way. For example, boiling or broiling foods rather than frying them will make a huge difference.

In other words, being creative in the kitchen will help you go a long way. Instead of drinking juice, get your vitamins and your fiber by eating fruit. Fruit is also a sensible snack that has much less calories than any fruit juice or other type of snack.

Although many of us enjoy outdoor exercises during other seasons, winter can kind of get in the way. But, if you like walking or jogging, a treadmill can remedy that situation. If you save your membership fees and apply it to a treadmill, it is an excellent investment that will pay itself off shortly.

We have to enjoy the exercise in order for it to really work. Otherwise we won’t stick to it. In the wintertime, there are great sporting activities that can really be a lot of fun. Try to do some ice-skating or skiing. In addition to them being fun, they also help to tone the muscles all over your body. As for skates, pretty much anyone can afford them. Alpine skiing equipment can be a little more expensive, but you can find a deal. Just about anywhere, even online.

When it comes to skiing, your lower body gets an excellent workout which helps to tone your buttocks, legs, and abdomen. You’ll also get a good dose of vitamin C by getting out on the hills. In addition to that, you also have some fun doing a little apres-ski with some friends.

There are many ways for you to lose fat, build muscle, and become or remain healthy.

When to eat is just as important as what to eat. You can’t consistently eat late at night and expect progress. No less than 3 times each week you must exercise or play sports. Make goals you can reach and commit to completing them successfully. Drink plenty of liquids and make sure you rest enough.

Spending lots of money is not necessary, either. Of course, you have to spend money in order to eat, but, you can eat well without breaking your budget if you practice due diligence. You obviously mustn’t spend bundles of money on exercise or playing a lot of sports, either.

Don’t let your progress depend only on how much you weigh. Instead, concentrate on developing your lean muscle growth. As your lean muscle mass develops, you will lose fat, but you might not necessarily lose pounds.

This is all predicated on your eating habits. It’s simple – you eat a lot, you’re weight increases. It doesn’t matter if all you eat are properly-balanced meals that are nutritious. Because muscle is heavier than fat, added muscle could mean weight gain, even with fat loss.

On the other hand, if you consume fewer calories as normal, then your weight will decrease. Fat will disappear, and you’ll gain muscle definition, but not as much because you’re not providing enough fuel for the muscles to grow too much.

Weight-training is ideal for building muscle mass. Aerobic sports such as soccer, basketball, snowboarding, skiing, swimming, and bicycling are good for losing fat and building lean muscle. Imagine zipping down a snow-covered mountain on your Salomon ski equipment or playing hoops in your fresh Nike kicks as you get in shape. It is possible.

But don’t just exercise or play and do nothing else. Track how and what you are doing. Determine your goals and commit to reaching them every day.

This could entail using a digital sport watch to keep your exercise time. It might mean putting down your goals to paper and putting them up where you can see them several times every day.

Whatever your methods, do what’s good for you. Have attainable goals that require at least a medium level of effort to reach them. Don’t have goals that are too difficult or too easy to attain.

However you choose, simply focus your mind and commit your energy to achieving your desired weight or health goals. You’ll be glad you did, and so will your family and friends.
