Six-Pack Abs Facts
Six-Pack Abs: Some Facts You Should Know
It is the common question of most: how do I get six-pack abs? Yes, this is the most common concern of people as unfortunately it is our midsection where most of the accumulated extra fats from food are stored. Another sad thing is it is difficult for most of us to get rid of the fats around our abdominals that is why it is really important to know some straight facts in order to understand how to reach the goal of having six-pack abs.
Cardio Exercises, Strength Trainings, and Low-Caloric, Healthy Diet
All people have six-pack abs. How come? You might want to ask. Six-pack abs does exist in your midsection. If you don't see it, it is because a layer of body fats has accumulated on top of it concealing the washboard abs in the process. This validates the fact that doing rigid abdominal exercises alone will not give you the much-wanted six-pack carved out on your stomach. If your mid-section has layers of fat in it, there is no amount of training that can get that pack visibly on your body.
To build that pack, you have to reduce the fats stored in your abdominal section first. This can be done by following a proper nutritional program which will stop fats from developing more. The program must consist of a healthy, low-calorie diet and not with low-carbohydrate, low fat consumption.
The abs training will serve as a way to burn those fats already accumulated by the midsection of your body. The abdominal training must not be constituted by hundreds of repetitions to achieve the six-pack. This is a mistake that most continually to make thinking it can hasten developing the pack. What are needed for this case are not the many counts of repeating specific abdominal exercises.
Instead, you need a good quality, strength body training/workout, which means, you target not only the muscles in the abdominal but on the other parts of the body where the muscles need boosting as well. With this kind of training, you are working on your overall body parts, which is a good thing because it means overall goodness and health as well.
Six-pack Abs are Strong Abs
Though some see no purpose except for aesthetical reasons in getting six-pack abs, doing the ab exercises can actually be good to your overall physical and health. Having a sculpted abs may mean having a great physical look, but it goes more than that. Having a set of sculpted abs can mean having a strong abs, which means also having a strong support to the spine as well as strong protection to the back.
So, when you are doing exercises to target the muscles in the midsection of your body, you are not only taking care of your physical look but the overall aspect of your body as well. However, it is important to remember that abdominal exercises are only part of your complete program with as far as getting a six-pack abs, or overall fitness for that matter, is concerned.
Putting it all Together
When aiming for a nice set of six-pack abs, it is important that you not only focus on your midsection but on the overall needs of your body. A combination of proper nutrition, cardiovascular training, and good quality strength abdominal exercises is the ideal formula to achieving that goal; therefore, focus on these three essential ingredients to effectively see that sculpted mid-section of your body.

Good Instruction
Good instruction from Oswald chambers this morning.
in reference to: My Utmost for His Highest by Oswald Chambers (view on Google Sidewiki)Fulfilled Prohecy
I see the fullfillment of Jesus' words as I read this passage. Here I am half way around the globe, living in a different culture reading about a Jewish womam pouring perfume on Jewish man prior to His crucifixion 2000 years after the fact. Jesus spoke the truth, He is the truth, the way and the life. Know Him!
in reference to:"Why do you bother the woman? For she has done a good deed to Me. 11"For you always have (M)the poor with you; but you do not always have Me. 12"For when she poured this perfume on My body, she did it (N)to prepare Me for burial. 13"Truly I say to you, (O)wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of in memory of her.""

Why Don't We Drill for Our Own Oil
Maybe I am a little ignorant and unlearned, but I have a hard time understanding why we do not drill for own oil in Alaska and offshore as well. Why does some of those in power insist on keeping the United States dependent on foriegn oil? There is a mystery here and I am afraid of what the answer may be.

Oswald Chambers points out the most important goal to have in life, that is to live a life that is well pleasing to our creator. The only way we can do that is believing is His only begotten Son who died for our sins and arose from the grave so that we could have a right relationship with our Heavenly Father.
