   have you tried upping reps with lighter weights and more cardio work, this should be the ideal ‘ripping’ workout method.

   Hey,

   One website: http://www.truthaboutabs.com. I highly recommend the Truth About Six Pack Abs Program because it comes with seven freebies!

   1) Tabara Intervals, google ‘em. Sprinting is the way forward. Long distance running? Uh-uh, forget it. Compare the physiques of Paula Radcliffe and Usain Bolt. ‘Nuff said.

   2) Eat natural. Grassfed meats, wholemeal bread/cereal/riceorganic fruit n veg, etc. No fast food WHATSOEVER. I mean, McChicken Sandwiches contain RAT DNA. Do you really wanna wake up with whiskers and a frickin TAIL?

   3) Skipping. This handy little playground sport burns 12 cals per MINUTE. Do it Tabata-style occasionally, for a change. Keep on ALTERING your workouts to promote maxium fat loss/muscle gain.

   Good luck!

   Different people hold fat in different places and that last little bit of fat is usually the hardest to lose. Here are some things I have found useful
   - Do sprint repeats. It’s warm enough to do these outside so that’s good. Jog to warm up (~1/2 mile). Then do 8 sets of repeat sprints (start with ~100m and gradually move up to ~200m as you get in better shape). Basically you sprint all out, then slow jog (really slow) back. Repeat 8 times. The first one you want to go only ~3/4 speed since your body will still be warming up. Make sure you stretch afterwards as your hamstrings will be sore the next day (especially after the first time).
   - Resistance training: go for more reps (less weight), try drop sets, try circuit training. All of these are useful for getting more lean and ripped (and as a result will burn fat off your abs). Remember the more muscle you build, the more fat you’ll burn (muscle burns fat).
   - Ab ball: do a lot of exercises using one of those ab balls…they work your core in every exercise. You can also do actual ab target exercises (twists, crunches, etc.). Get a trainer at a gym to show you some (usually you can get one complimentary session). Or you can get the CoreSecrets (ball/video) for ~$10-$20 online (just google it)
   - Oblique exercises (twisting). Do a lot of these using the ab ball: sit on the ball hold a 10 lb weight and walk your feet forward. ‘Lay down’ and with the weigh above you twist to one side-up-pause-twist to the other side. Ensure you’re using your obliques to do the work.
   - Lower abs. Do leg lifts (hold weights in your feet, or lay on ball and do them). Leg raises (where you hang in the air and rotate your knees to your chest). Get with a trainer at a gym to show you some new funky ab exercises
   - Improve your nutrition to mostly eat low fat protein (chicken, fish, lean turkey, etc.) and veggies (i.e. broccoli). Mix a little fruit in there for some sweetness. You can also buy whey protein and make whey protein smoothies (2 scoops protein, ice, skim milk – blend – little peanut butter, ripe banana, more ice – blend again: tastes great). Cut out any junk food (especially soda, anything loaded with high fructose corn syrup, all sweets, etc.). You wanna eat 5-6 small ‘meals’ per day as this will keep you from being hungry all the time and ‘pigging’ out and will keep your metabolism up.
   - Start taking some active energy multivitamins. Also, if you’re of age (18+), you can try a thermogenic fat burner such as Ripped Fuel (provides extra energy and helps burn fat) or Hydroxycut Hardcore…but follow the instructions

   Work hard, have fun…you should start seeing the ripping results in a month or so. I’ve been doing something similar to lean out for every summer for the past few years and it works.

   to get theripped look you need to do the following
   eat very healthy, no junk, sugary or fried fatty foods

   lift weights with high reps and lower weights

   cardio to burn fat ( at least 40 minutes )

   incorporate alot of lean protein and vegtables into your diet and drink alot of water ( at least 8 glasses a day)
   so lift weights, eat strictly and exercise properly to lower body fat levels, increase metabolism for more calorie burning and you will get ripped or at least more ripped than you are nowby doing the above at least 2-3 times a week
