Achieve Total Success
Let’s face it, getting a rock hard, defined six pack is really one of the defining features of a fit and toned body. It’s probably the hardest goal to accomplish, and it’s rare to see a six pack that isn’t accompanied by chiseled arms, a defined chest and back, and a strong lower body.
What’s the secret to a toned and sexy midsection? Hard work, for starters, and a combination of healthy eating and a solid workout plan.
When it comes to healthy eating, you want to get all the basics right: low fat, low sugar, high protein, high fiber, and minimal but healthy (complex and whole grain) carbohydrates. Healthy fats like omega-3 fatty acids (e.g. NOW Ultra Omega-3), and vitamins like Vitamin D (e.g. NOW Vitamin D), have also been shown to boost metabolism and contribute to higher fat burning results.
For more information on how to get your toning diet right, read my Six Pack Diet Plan for Women and my Six Pack Diet Plan for Men. You should find everything you need to get your eating habits on track! Remember, your nutrition plan is half the battle when it comes to getting a ripped and toned midsection.

Killer Ab Toning Routine
When it comes to working out for your abs, you need to have a total body approach to fitness. What I mean by that is that you need to be working out your entire body to see results, because fat loss depends on total body exercise. You can’t spot train when it comes to fat loss, and losing fat is the biggest factor in seeing a toned, ripped midsection.
But you definitely need at least one workout a week to be focused on your core and abs. Not only will this boost your fat burning results, it will also tone your midsection and improve its appearance. The more muscle mass you have, the tighter and more toned your abs will look.
