CREDIT: @thefitnessuni Thanks to @fuxbol_ for the question! For a woman to get six-pack abs she needs to reduce her body fat to between 16 and 19 percent body fat. This is below what’s considered an average healthy range which is 22 to 33 percent. Only a precisely timed and portioned diet along with cardio strength-training and appropriate rest will get you there. Meals will consist mostly of lean proteins and vegetables. At one or two meals you’ll add fruit or whole grains as well as a little healthy fat from sources such as olive oil or avocados to round out your nutrition. High-intensity interval exercise is more effective than steady-state work when it comes to burning fat especially visceral fat that sits deep in the abdominal wall. To do your own high-intensity intervals alternate all-out efforts with periods of easier effort. For example warm up for five minutes and then alternate one minute of sprinting with one minute of walking for 20 minutes. Finish with a short cool down. Don’t do this workout every day though or you’ll risk burnout. Strength-training is intrinsic to gaining a six-pack. Muscle takes more calories for your body to burn during activity and during rest giving your metabolism a boost. Moves such as the plank side plank bird dog and crunches are a start but as you become stronger introduce moves that include resistance such as kettlebell swings standing trunk rotation and standing cable crunches. Aim to work the abs three to five times per week. Even if you do all the work and reduce your body fat level you’re not guaranteed a six-pack. Some women’s genetics give them staggered abs that don’t appear as clear segments.
