With most personal fitness trainers, one thing I asked a lot is how can women get flat abs?’ Many women try, and fail. Yes, without testosterone it’s harder to develop flat abs than it is for men, but it is not impossible at all. With the right approach you can do it easily. Women in our experience, who are after a flat tummy, have already spent a lot of time and effort on their body. This is why I love training people in this category, they are usually very serious about their goals, and train hard. I know for a fact that there are lots of newbies who are very serious to get perfect abs, often it’s the only objective. My first statement to them is that they have to be ready to change their lifestyle and work hard. The rewards are a big and you will be really enticed when your goals are achieved. So,

• How do you go about getting six packs/flat abs in women?
• Is the approach that is demanded different to men?
• Is it even possible?

For sure it just takes a little bit of a different approach, but I certainly have helped many women to reach their six pack goals over the years, so I am pretty much clued up. Let’s take a look at my top ideas for ripping up those abs:

Women don’t have the same propensity to build muscles, due to a lack of testosterone to pack on dense muscle. This really just means that a slight change in training focus and intensity, plus a shift in diet focus is all that you need to grow those muscles. As with any six pack goal, one of the fundamentals is to work the specific muscles, but to reduce the fat layer that sits over the stomach. This exposes the abs out, and lets the world know you have a six pack. Once this is achieved, then that awesome flat stomach look is all yours. A sure fire way to get rid of this fat layer, is to use a targeted cardio approach. One thing that I recommend to lady customers, is to start doing pump or circuit classes, as this rates as one of the fastest ways to burn tummy flab in women. Not only are they fun, they utilise the core for nearly all the actions involved. Join a local gym centre or else get hold of some at home ‘pump’ DVD’s and do the class in home to start with.
