Secrets of 8 pack abs !!!

Whether you're just starting an exercise program, or you've been at it for years, there is one thing on everyone's wish list: a toned stomach. Well-defined abdominal muscles are glorified as being sexy, healthy and youthful.
Like all I too wished to have eight pack abs and wanted to know the secret behind getting packs. Now that I am aware of it, I will be sharing this secret with all of you.
You may be surprised to learn that you can train less and see better results—yes it's true! And you don't have to buy any special equipment. All you need is your body and the proper training knowledge.

 The Eight pack workout
Try to do the following exercises either once or twice in a week 

1) Floor crunches - Nothing beats floor exercise for developing firm ,muscular abs. All you need is a little floor space .The key to this exercise ,as with all ab exercises , is to pull with your abdominal muscles and not with your shoulder or back.

2)Incline knee raises - The incline knee raises is a challenging but rewarding exercise to do for the abs . This exercise can be done on any incline surface such as a sit up board .Remember don't let your feet hit the ground and keep constant tension on your abs.

3)Hanging knee raises - This is a tough exercise that allows you to work both the lower abs n side muscles . Lift your knees straight up, and you hit the lower abs ; lift your knees to each side to work on your side muscles .

4) Decline crunches -This is a terrific exercise for developing the lower and middle abdominal muscles .As the name implies , you ll need a decline bench that allows you to hook your feet .

Along with these above mentioned exercise you need to do cardio exercise twice or thrice in a week.

THE EIGHT PACK DIET

1)    Go for good carbs - not all carbs are evil, it's just that you need to avoid having white carbs and should rather have brown carbs like brown rice, whole wheat and oats .
2) Try to take protein early in the morning so that you feel less hungry throughout the day which happens due to favourable changes in the hormones and brain signals that control appetite.
3) Drink loads of water so that your metabolism gets a boost and enables you to cut extra calories.
4) Eat three standard meals and three snacks, equalling 6 times a day. Don't be concerned about overeating; just make sure the foods you eat are high in fiber, protein and nutrition.
