Are you dreaming of the “six pack” effect on your stomach? Here are 7 of the best exercises that will help you carve your stomach muscles and make them hard as steel. Exercises involve the simple, oblique and transverse muscles of the abdomen. The first results are visible after two weeks of regular training.
To get a six pack on your belly, you need varied exercises, regularity and use a protein rich diet.
Exercises for the "six-pack" should be comprehensive and strengthen all parts of the abdominal muscles: straight, oblique and transverse. To get a visible effect, you should do regular workouts, preferably 3-4 times a week. It is also important to have a proper diet that will help you get rid of fat around the abdomen and expose your muscles.
