Want ripped abs? Think you are too skinny for ripped abs. With an investment of time and hard work you too can have ripped abs.

Keep Your Plan in Focus Stay focused on your goal, ripped abs, and create a workout program that ‘fits’ your life. A workout program that consists of “circuit training” elements; bench presses, military presses, bicep and leg curls, rowing, back extensions, squats and dead lifts creates maximum variety so your muscles work hard and you don’t get bored. Work your program only three to five days a week and see results.

Abs First Start every workout with your abs. By engaging your abs first they stay engaged throughout the whole workout. You are also freshest at the beginning of your workout therefore whatever you do first you a likely to work the hardest. Abs first; then move onto the rest of your workout.

Tax Your Muscles to the Max For ideal results your exercise sets need to consist of 10 to 12 reps per set at a weight that is easy at the start but by the end is a challenge to lift. Do not hurt yourself; it may take a few sets to find your ideal weight to lift. Remember, once you find the ideal weight to lift, every two to three weeks you need to increase the weight. Your muscles will get used to lifting that weight and you need to keep pushing your muscles.

Rest to Repair Once you have worked your muscles they need to rest and repair. It is ideal to lift weights every other day. When you weight train you are actually breaking down, fatiguing or ‘injuring’ the muscle. It is important that your muscles have a day to repair before they are fatigued again; thus becoming bigger and stronger.

Eat and Sleep Good nutrition and plenty of sleep are the fuel your body needs to get ripped abs. A diet that includes fresh fruits and vegetable, lean protein from chicken and beef, fish and omega-3 fatty acids and monounsaturated fatty acids and complex carbohydrates is a key to your ripped abs success. If you are underweight and need more calories choose a meal replacement shake instead of junk food.
