Next, you need to learn how to trim and tone your body to achieve six-pack abs and a gorgeous figure.

If you are now picturing yourself doing hundreds of crunches a day to obtain this look, think again! According to Michael Geary, you are wrong! Michael Geary is the author of the internationally best seller The Truth about Six Pack Abs which is the number one abdominal workout program in the world.

I believe him too! If you have seen pictures of Michael, you know that he is the epitome of success when it comes to building a rock hard core and ripped six pack abs!

After reviewing his book, I think there are 3 steps to success with the Truth about Six Pack Abs program. First, you need to figure out your energy needs and begin to lose that belly fat by eating the proper foods and staying away from the junk. Second, you need to understand why traditional cardio may not be working and implement Michael's cardio strategies. Third, you need to learn the abdominal workouts that Michael has designed.

You may be making the 5 common mistakes that most people make when trying to achieve six pack abs. The biggest mistake is the idea that spot-training your abdominal muscles will produce that rock-hard, chiseled stomach. No ab crunches in the world will help you lose the belly fat that may be covering up your abdominal muscles. You need to consume fewer calories and eat foods that are more efficient for fat burning and lean muscle building.

Included in Michael's ab program is a metabolic rate calculator, which makes it extremely easy to determine your caloric needs in order to lose body fat. He offers great advice and a really fun, tasty menu that will teach you how to eat in a way that maximizes your fat burning AND offers the best nutrition for a lean, chiseled figure.

You need to perform some amount of cardio in order to burn that belly fat, but you may not realize how you should be performing cardiovascular exercise. Rather than long duration cardio, Michael guides you through some more appropriate high intensity interval training that you will perform in less time but with better results.

Sit-ups and crunches are ineffective. Michael guides you through new ab exercises that will maximize your six-pack ab training efforts. Photos help illustrate these fantastic abdominal exercises that are guaranteed to strengthen your core and provide that ripped, washboard center. The ab program also teaches you all about your ab muscle groups and how they work together leaving you with a better understanding on how to properly train your abs.
