What to eat, what type of exercises you should do, and what habits you should pick up to be in your best shape.

Be sure to pay attention to each detail so you don't miss out on the simple hacks to get a six-pack.

You won’t believe how easy it is to start defining your body.

And don’t worry, if you start today, you still have a few months until summer comes.

If you truly want to see a change in your body, then you’ll have to know a few things.

For starters, everyone’s body is different and no routine or diet can assure you 100% a six-pack.

It’s important to keep in mind what your body needs.

However, several general tactics work for most people.

So the best thing you can do is go with these methods.

What you eat is probably the most important part of getting a six-pack, so be sure to pay attention to this part of the article.

Getting a six-pack depends 80% on diet and only 20% dependent on exercise.

It's not just about eating healthy foods, it’s also about eating enough of the right foods at the right times throughout the day when your body is in need.

Experts recommend 6 foods a day for this process.

You obviously have to balance all foods, but while getting a six-pack you should have proteinase your main course and then add the rest.

If you’re highly active most of the day, then you should eat foods high in protein every 3 hours.

The best types of proteins are the ones in chicken breast and fish.

It’s also highly effective to consume protein supplements after training.

Besides, it will help you build muscles and burn calories.

Out of all the nutrients you could ingest, protein has the most notable thermogenic effect on the body.

For this reason, many athletes and competitive bodybuilders go on diets with high protein value.

But wait a second, be careful with being too extreme with jumping on the protein train and forgetting the rest of the foods.

A lot of people don’t know this, but carb scan also be a part of your six-pack diet.

Most people have been falsely led to believe that carbohydrates are bad and that they will make you fat.

But those are the ones who don’t know about healthy carbs.

Of course, eating too much of anything will make you gain some extra pounds, but natural grain or starchy carbs such as sweet potatoes, brown rice, and oatmeal are quite beneficial in your six-pack quest, especially when consumed post-workout.

It’s not about cutting carbs out, it’s about eating the right ones.

Even still, if your goal is a six-pack, moderate your carbs and have 1-2 cups of vegetables with each meal.

This will assure that your body gets the vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber it needs to function at its peak and remain healthy.

Focus on all of your abdominal muscles

The abdominal muscles are quite complex and no one exercise is going to get you a six-pack.

The core is made up of a set of six areas of muscle hence, the name six-pack all comes together and also connects the lower and upper body parts.

Getting a six-pack means far more than simply looking shredded, and that means actively working each muscle group to create an overall powerful core.

When you're working your abs, intense exercises and overloading the muscles will lead to strength and stability in the center of the body.

Some of the basic exercises are crunches, planks, side planks, oblique crunches, reverse crunches, and crossover crunches.

But still, know that compound, multi-joint, total body movements will promote more total fat loss and promote a much bigger muscle-building than any of the basic movements.

Every single exercise must have abs in it

For people who train a different muscle, like legs or arm day, it's recommended to throwing some ab exercises in-between working sets.

Get used to doing a lot of planks and crunches instead of going on your phone or taking an extra-long rest because this will relax your body very quickly and that is the last thing you need to get a six-pack.

But this mostly goes well with cardio exercises, be careful with overcharging your body after having used heavy weights in volume gaining workouts.

You've probably heard that the best way to burn fat is to do long-duration cardio ate slowly to medium pace.

This fat loss method is decent, but there is a much better way.

Experts suggest doing interval workouts combined with abdominal exercises because this will make your body take a new form much faster.

A clear example of what this would be is: if you're running on the treadmill at a medium pace, run the last 20 seconds at full speed, after that, instead of resting, do 20 crunches and immediately hop back on the treadmill.

Repeat this at least 5 times.

Make sure you rest

Another thing to watch out for is overtraining your body, which can do more harm than good.

After a muscle is worked to the max, it needs time to recover so that it can heal and eventually grow bigger.

When the abdominal muscles can rest and rejuvenate, they will repair themselves and be able to handle more and more as they get stronger.

So, instead of doing abs every day for long periods, experts recommend doing abs up to three days a week (non-consecutively) or perhaps every other day.

When doing exercises for other muscles in the body, like squats or a chest press, you should always be engaging your core to continue to work those abdominal muscles.

This will not only create great strength in your abs but will also help stabilize you in those compound exercises to better support the rest of the muscles in your body.

Now that we've been through the basics of what you should be doing to get a six-pack, these are some key questions and answers that might help you.

How Can an Ectomorph Get a Six Pack?

The most important factor that you need to consider before embarking on your six-pack journey is that not everyone can get a six-pack.

I don’t mean that from a mentality or commitment perspective but the simple fact of genetics.

Your ab structure is determined by genetics and no amount of training or dieting can change that.

This is often something people neglect to mention and you could spend years chasing something that you can’t achieve.

Each individual will have a specific ab makeup and this could range from a 2 pack right the way through to a genetically gifted 10 pack.

Therefore your focus should not be on trying to build a six-pack but rather on a well-defined set of abs.

One could do 1,000 crunches a day but that will do nothing for your abs to be symmetrical.

When should I work out?

For most people, performing this routine minimum of three days per week will be plenty.

An advanced bodybuilder could do it just about every day.

Most experts like to head to the gym early and do abs and cardio first thing in the morning, then come back in the afternoon for weight training.

That way, I get to spike up my metabolism twice a day.

If you'd rather do the workout in one session, I recommend either performing the ab routine as a warm-up for your weight training or after your training if you're going to be doing heavy liftings like squats or deadlifts.

Then perform your cardio last.

What is the difference between a Skinny Pack and a Six-Pack?

The importance of developing a full abdominal section is seen most in those who possess what is commonly referred to as a ‘skinny-pack.

’Some people are naturally thin and as such possess a low body fat percentage despite doing no exercise because their metabolism was just made that way.

The result is that there is no fat over their rectus abdomens and you can visualize each member of the six-pack.

And of course, we often see this look on athletes.

Highly competitive athletes are often very happy with their appearance and take pride in showing their six-pack.

However, to the trained eye, it appears as nothing but a disappointment.

The six-pack formation is very narrow, the muscle bellies are small and underdeveloped, and the obliques are non-existent.

As we proved throughout the video, there are many things one has to do to get a six-pack.

Nevertheless, even if you're doing all of these things, there's no guarantee you’ll get a six-pack.

Some people just don't have it in their genes.
