In the last few years, acquiring a perfectly toned six pack abdomen has become extremely popular with everyone; from celebrities and movie stars to fitness enthusiasts and even teenagers clamoring for those cool six packs. Most people share the misconception that it is almost impossible to develop six packs; this has increased their popularity even more. Today we shall discuss some methods that will show you how to develop six packs in 3 months. Regular hard work is a precursor to the success of the methods described below.

The mantra for developing six packs is to lose weight and add muscle strength at the same time. Therefore, a combination of diet and exercise is very important in the development of six pack abs. The following is a three month plan to develop cool six packs.

First Month:  The first month should be used to remove as much abdominal fat as you can manage. The workouts described below will help you complete this objective.

1.    Vertical leg crunch: To get into position for this exercise; sleep face-up on a flat surface or an exercise mat with your hands placed behind your posterior. Next, keep your upper torso still while you raise your legs in a perpendicular fashion with the rest of your body, flexing your lower abdomen to do so. Hold this position for a decent period of time before reverting back to the initial position. To begin with, practice 5-10 repetitions daily and increase once you are comfortable.

2.    Bicycle Technique: Lie down on an exercise mat with your knees raised at a 45 degrees angle to your body and your hands behind your head. Start moving your legs in a manner that mimics riding a bicycle; lift your head up with your hands and bring it as close to your knees as you can. Keep your knees and head elevated till you cycle at least ten times and then slowly relax.

Second Month: In the second month, focus your efforts on strengthening your upper abdomen. The exercises described below will help you in this area.

1.    Long arm crunch: Get into position for this exercise by sleeping on a flat surface with your hands stretched above your head and positioning your knees at a 45 degree incline to your sleeping body. Next, push your arms towards the folded knees raising your upper torso a few inches above the ground. Hold for a few seconds and then relax.

2.    Standard crunch: Before starting this exercise you must sleep face-up on your exercise mat, fold your knees at an angle of 45 degrees to your body and place your hands behind your upper back. Maintaining the described posture, lift your shoulders towards the pelvis, without moving your lower back. Recline back to the original position keeping your knees still. Gradually increase the number of repetitions for faster weight-loss.

Third Month: The third month must be used to get rid of remaining abdominal fat and for shaping your brand new six pack. The twisting exercises given below will help you achieve this goal.

1.    Corkscrew: Lie down on a flat surface and raise your legs till they are perpendicular to your body. From this position, start vigorously moving your legs from left to right and right to left like a corkscrew. Come back down and repeat.

2.    Windshield Wipers: :  Lie down on an exercise mat with your arms stretched outwards. Raise your legs till they are perpendicular to the body. Move your legs from left to right and vice versa exactly like a windshield wiper. Keep your torso and hands perfectly still while doing this. This exercise will significantly tone your lower abs if done correctly and regularly.

You must combine the above given exercises with diet control, regular jogging and other aerobic exercises to get your very own six pack abs in three months.
