How to get a six pack fast? Set firm goals
Have you ever heard the words I want to get a 6 pack now but I don't think I can? Have you ever said these words to yourself? Don't worry you're not alone. Many get up the nerve to join a gym or go back to the one that they've had a membership to. Some learn how to eat properly, plan their meals, and actually eat the perfect diet to achieve their 6 pack abs. But most of them will find themselves looking back on past weeks wondering how they came up short and why they couldn't stick to the plan they were initially so invested in. The vast majority of dieters never see the 6 pack abs they dream of because they overlook on vital component, their goals.
Fitness guru Tom Venuto says that overlooking your goals and mental training is the biggest mistake fitness newbies make. He says that we must train our mind to believe that we can accomplish the body of our dreams. We must rewire our brains to accept the new body image that we desire and get rid of the old body image that keeps us falling off every diet. Tom says creating new fitness habits isn't easy because it has taken our entire lives to program our current habits and body image into our brains and old habits die hard. The most effective way Tom says we can rewire our brains to accept the new habits and body that we are forming is to create goals as if they've already been accomplished, write them down, and look at them frequently.
Create goals as if they've already been accomplished. Lets say you have a goal to eat 5 meals per day with a lean protein and dark green vegetables. Wrong way to write the goal:
1. I'm going to eat chicken or lean protein and veggies whenever possible.
2. In order to stay on my diet plan of 5 meals per day; I wont eat pizza, Mexican food, candy, soda, or cookies.
3. In the future I'll eat balanced meals which include a lean protein. When ever I go out to eat I will make healthy meal choices.
The first goal is far to vague and the words whenever possible are not definite. The second goal wont work because according to Tom, your brain cant process deletion or words like wont or avoid and will simply interpret goal #2 as I eat pizza, Mexican food Finally, goal #3 may not be that effective because its set in the future. Tom says goals need to be set in the present or even as if they've already been accomplished.
An effective way to write the above goal: I have achieved the body of my dreams and am proud of attaining a lean 10% body fat and wash board abs. I have achieved this by eating 5 meals per day consisting of a lean protein like fish or chicken and dark green vegetables like broccoli or spinach.
The above goal is written with emotion, is specific, and is written as if it's already been accomplished. This is the most effective way to get your brain to accept the new behaviors and change them into habits that you don't have to think about much. If you write these goals down and look at them frequently you will keep your primary goals at the forefront of your mind and have the best chance at avoiding the cravings and urges to eat the wrong foods. So if you want to get six pack abs, write your goals down and look at them frequently. - 17268
