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.
