Hey, guys. So from the title of this video, you probably want to get straight to the point. You want to see if it's clickbait or not. I've said that I'm going to reveal a secret to building abs. And you want to know what is the secret? I'm going to tell you straight from the beginning. So I'm going to show you. I'm going to write it down. That's the secret.
Simeon Panda
00:00:37 - 00:01:01
Can you see it? I mean, it's there. Can you see it? I'll make it darker. 1 second. Can you see it now? You can't see it. Let me just keep doing it. I'm going to keep doing it and see if it works. Just hold on. Still nothing.
Simeon Panda
00:01:03 - 00:01:29
The reason why you can't see it, this is ab exercises. Ab exercises on someone whose body fat is too high. The secret to building your abs first is getting your body fat down. So basic, but no one ever tells you. All people tell you is you need to do this six pack exercise. This six pack exercise, but no one ever tells you that you need to bring your body fat down. So if you don't bring your body fat down, you're never going to see your abs. That's why you can't see it.
Simeon Panda
00:01:29 - 00:02:12
Your body fat, as a mandehead, needs to be between ten to 14% at least. So at least 14% before you see your abs. If your body fat isn't within that, that range or lower, you're not going to see abs. And that is, that's just how it is, you know? So I'm sure you've seen guys in your gym training their abs for years. For years. And they've never seen them and they're wondering why, you know, and it's not the routine they're doing because they probably have some awesome abs underneath the fact that they're carrying. So I'm going to tell you some facts about abs. This here is a badly drawn drawing of your rectus abdominis.
Simeon Panda
00:02:12 - 00:02:15
That is the six pack for the layman's terms.
Simeon Panda
00:02:16 - 00:02:18
So we have these six here.
Simeon Panda
00:02:18 - 00:03:14
This is the six that we're used to seeing. Some people don't even have six. Some people have four, some people have five. And you're thinking, five. How can you have a five pack? It just means that, you know, one of the packs isn't as prominent. You know, some people have eight and some people can even have ten, which is why I've drawn these shaded, you know, because some, some people do have ten, but genetically, you're only going to have a certain amount that show you can't change that. So if you've got a six pack that shows you can't do any sort of workout that's going to build the last few and make them more prominent so that you suddenly have a ten pack or you suddenly have an eight pack, you know, so anyone that built up their abs, if you see them when they started, they had six, and then they built up those six, they made them more pronounced by working them out, you know, so that's something that you need to consider. So don't ever look at an influencer or someone in the fitness industry with an eight pack and let them tell you, or even get it into your head that you can achieve that same look.
Simeon Panda
00:03:14 - 00:03:38
You're gonna have to work with what you've got. Another thing is for some people, obliques are very prominent as well. You know, me personally, when I'm lean, you can see. You can see my obliques clearly. Some guys you can't, but you can see their six pack clearly. That is because of the subcutaneous fat that is on top of the obliques. It's more on some people than others. That's simply what it is on women, you hardly ever see obliques.
Simeon Panda
00:03:38 - 00:04:18
And that's because for a woman to be more lean, sorry. For a woman to show her abs, she needs to be between 16% to 20% body fat or less. And even then, the fat deposits on their obliques is still high. So that's why you rarely see women, even if they have a six pack, you rarely see their obliques because the fat deposits there is higher on women. These things are some things that you should really consider when you're aiming to get a six pack, you know? And what I'm going to take you, I'm still going to take you today through a full routine. I'm still going to show you how to build your six pack. But I want, wanted to first let you guys know that you need to do cardio and get your diet right. What's hypocardio? Try this out.
Simeon Panda
00:05:35 - 00:05:54
So all those exercises you saw are exercises you'll find in my fat burn extreme training program. But essentially it's just cardio. It's cardio in any way you can get it. You know, I always say that, you know, find something you enjoyed. You know, some cardio. For me, I do. As much as I enjoy the high intensity, I also enjoy the slow pace. You know, I sometimes put a YouTube video on.
Simeon Panda
00:05:54 - 00:06:27
I get on the treadmill and I walk for half an hour on an incline, that's cardio. Me doing burpees, that's cardio. Using the ropes, that's cardio. So find cardio in any way you can get it and bring that body fat down. Now, you can still build your abs while doing that. The only reason that I just really wanted to press on the cardio is if you're not doing the cardio and you're not cleaning up your diet, you're not going to see the abs you can't like, you can do all the ab exercises in the world, I'm going to show you some, but unless you get the cardio in there and bring your body fat down, you're not going to see it. So that's why I really wanted to press that home to you guys. Let's go hit the abs now.
Simeon Panda
00:08:33 - 00:08:47
Okay, guys, I just took you through five ab exercises you can do. Hopefully the exercises you haven't tried before. What I was trying to show you today was not specifically special exercises for Abs. That's going to get you your six pack, because there isn't one.
Simeon Panda
00:08:47 - 00:08:49
There isn't a special exercise or special.
Simeon Panda
00:08:49 - 00:08:55
Selection of ab exercises that's going to magically get you six pack. Hopefully from this video, what I said at the beginning, you'll learn that in.
Simeon Panda
00:08:55 - 00:08:56
Order for you to see your six.
Simeon Panda
00:08:56 - 00:09:10
Pack, if you have high body fat, you're going to have to get your body fat down. So you're going to have to hit cardio and get your diet right to bring your body fat down to, like I said, at least 14% or lower before you see your abs. But these ab exercises that I showed.
Simeon Panda
00:09:10 - 00:09:11
You today, some of them are advanced.
Simeon Panda
00:09:11 - 00:09:39
Some of them are, you know, doable by a regular gym goer. They target mostly obliques. Those ab exercises I like to mix and match and really work on my obliques when I'm working my abs. So those exercises, especially the russian twists, and you saw the slow roll with the bar, perfect for your obliques. So, yeah, you can try those ab exercises out. But please, guys, make sure that you are. If body fat is something that, you know, you have in a higher percentage, bring it down so you can finally.
Simeon Panda
00:09:40 - 00:09:41
See what you're working with.
Simeon Panda
00:09:41 - 00:10:12
Guys, I've got my fat burn extreme training program, which has all of the plyometric exercises and the cardio routines I do. My six pack extreme training guide has all of the ab exercises I do, including diet. That's one thing. Both my fat burn extreme and six pack extreme have diet in them, you know, and they don't just give you a diet plan you can follow temporarily. They give you something you can follow for your lifestyle, you know, so it's a nutrition guide so that you can choose the right foods and not just have it, you know, where that you diet for a short period of time. This is called lifestyle. I've been training. I'm on my 19th year of training now.
Simeon Panda
00:10:12 - 00:10:36
