The Truth About Six Pack Abs FAQ – Ripped Or Toned Abs?
I recently took a great question on my ‘The Truth About Six Pack Abs’ blog from on of my readers, Nancy. She wanted to know, “I want to develop toned abs, rather than a ripped six pack. Can the Truth About Abs be tailored to my needs, or is it just for those that want to truly get ripped six pack abs?”
I get that question all the time, and it’s a great one!
Well the answer is ‘yes’. The Truth About Abs can be used by people that want a sexy, flat stomach. The program is not limited to body builders, or those people that want ripped, washboard abs.
Let’s look at why this is true…
Take a look below at the three main reasons why your abs are either hidden, or well-defined. They are listed in terms of importance, from 1 to 3:
#1 – Relative Body Fat Percentage
#2 – The Size Of Your Ab Muscles
#3 – Testosterone Levels and Your Gender
Let’s look in detail…
Relative Body Fat Percentage
Yep you guessed it. The main difference between ‘ripped’ and ‘toned’ abs is your body fat percentage.
In order to get ‘ripped’ you will need to get your body fat down MUCH lower than if you simply want to get toned.
The Truth About Abs will teach you the techniques you need to get ripped, if that’s your goal. But these same techniques will also get you toned. You can just adapt them to your specific needs.
If you want to be toned, the key is to use the program until you reach your goal. Then you can modify it to make sure that you maintain your desired physique and body fat percentage.
For those people that want to get ripped, the idea is to really crank up the workouts as soon as you have a toned mid section. This way you will drop your body fat even lower and start to see the ‘ripped’ look.
The Size Of Your Abdominal Muscles
Why do people waste so much time doing crunches? Because they think that muscle definition is the key to a toned, or ripped abdomen. But the truth is that it is a much smaller factor than the amount of belly fat you are carrying.
Don’t get me wrong, Mike Geary doesn’t ignore abdominal exercises. He just teaches you the very best ones to do. Again, you can adapt these depending on your end goal.
Mike’s ab routines give you the option to build either ripped or toned abs. With varying levels of intensity you can tailor each workout to your own goals. Getting ripped, or getting toned. No problem.
Testosterone Levels and Your Gender
Most women don’t want to get big and bulky. But the Truth About Six Pack Abs program is designed so that this will not happen.
If you are a lady worried about getting big then there are two reasons to rest easy: 1. You don’t have the testosterone levels to grow huge muscles. 2. You won’t be lifting the crazy weights needed to build big muscles.
Sure, ladies you will be increasing muscle mass, but at the same time DECREASING body fat. So your body will actually become more firm, slim, slender and toned.
Ladies, you would need to be lifting some pretty crazy weights to develop the kind of ripped six pack abs you see on male fitness models and in magazines.
But the decision is all yours, of course!
