Ask anybody what makes a man's physique complete and attractive, and the answer will most likely be his abs. Abdominal muscles are not only nice to look at, but they are also important because they support your body structure. Furthermore, having a strong midsection will reduce your chances of suffering from lower back pain.

Steps

  1. Consider genetics; Luciano Pavarotti will never have abdominals like Mark Wahlberg's because it's just not in the cards. Even if Mr. Pavarotti diets and follows the best workout routine in the world, he will most likely never achieve great-looking abs. The most important thing is to make the best out of the genes you inherited.
  2. Eat a low-fat diet. Stick to an eating plan that is high in protein, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, and reduce your consumption of fatty and processed foods.
  3. Perform sufficient cardio to shed fat on your stomach. There's still a point in having solid abs even if they're hidden under a layer of blubber though.
  4. Do your routine at least twice a week; it takes approximately 15 minutes from start to finish, so you can't complain that it takes too much time off your agenda. You should change your routine approximately every 8 weeks because the targeted muscles will gradually get used to the movement and it will no longer be effective.
  5. Follow this simple routine to strengthen and shape your abdominal muscles. Perform 3 to 4 sets for each of the 3 exercises. Beginners should do between 10 and 20 reps per set and progressively build up to at least 30 reps per set. (See external links)
