About the Author:

Vince DelMonte is the author of Your Six Pack Quest. He specializes in helping chubby guys and gals get with weight loss tips to get a six pack without gimmicks, supplements or dieting.

If the title of this post caught your attention, there is a good chance you are sick and tired of not seeing the weight on the scale budge.  People, predestined to be skinny, are commonly referred to as “hard gainers.”  These people have traits like Lamborghini-type metabolism, giraffe like limbs, and the strength of a senior citizen. You have to fight with every bone in your body to do something about your small frame and to keep up to your friend.  Even though you might think your genetic deficiencies have sentenced you to a life of frailty, there is hope.

If you are underweight, than your first step to gaining weight is to understand that you must play by a different set up rules.  Vince goes through these steps in the article

1. Double It Up: double whatever you are currently eating in the kitchen right now

2. Live Your Life Around Food:  Eat every 2-3 hours.  Set your clock on a countdown timer to go off every 2 and ½ hours to remind you.  Eat your first meal within 15-30 minutes of waking up – absolutely no later. This first meal of the day should always consist of REAL food to flood your body with quality nutrients.

3. Use BIG Eating Equipment: Get a BIG cup, get a BIG bowel, and get a BIG plate.

4. Never Train Hungry.

5. Eat Nutrient Dense Foods

Focus on caloric-rich foods that are loaded with nutrients.  Here are some of the best choices:

• Carbohydrates – Oatmeal, rice, breads, yams beans, potatoes, fruits and veggies.
• Proteins – Steak, chicken, lean beef, cottage cheese, whole milk, eggs and salmon.
• Fats – Olive oil, flax oil, avocados, nuts and peanut butter.
• Extras (high calorie cheat food) – Ice cream, raisins, dried fruit and trail mix.

6. Drink A Carb And Protein Drink While You Workout

7.  Live the motto, “Never Stop Eating”

Doing this once or twice won’t get it. You will need to repeat this everyday or every other day, rotating with workouts for the arms, legs, etc. And just like with the arms (The Popeye Syndrome -- Build Your Arm Muscles), we would look funny with a ‘washboard’ abs and flabby legs and arms.

Vincent Delmonte will be coming up with a ultimate package to be available soon.  If you want to be notified, please sign up in the column to the right.

I have noticed that people tend to think bodybuilding is just for men or over zealous teanage boys.  But it isn’t.  It isn’t limited to twenty year old females either.  A 60 year old woman can start out slowly and progress at her own pace.  Weight workouts build muscle which cut down on the flabby look and burns more calories.  It’s like losing weight -- or gaining weight -- while getting fit all in one swoop.  You don’t have to be trying to compete professionally or look muscle bound to benefit from weight training.  You don’t have to purchase equipment if you go to a gym, and you don’t have to go to a gym if you desire to purchase home equipment.  Either way, you don’t have to have everything to start.

By the way, Tony Little has 10% off all products in time for the holidays if you are shopping for equipment.

There you have it -- the exercise and a visual of how to do it correctly by a professional and a personal trainer.  Now all you have to do is spend a few minutes a day -- probably at the gym unless you have a total Home Gym.  What would you do to have abs like Vince?

Right now he has a 2 week trial offer going.  Soon he will have a special on his two best body building packages.  To learn more, go to Six Pack Abs or No Nonsense Muscle Building.

Also check the links below, the article index page, or the far right column for other articles about building abs.

Don’t forget to sign up for notices on specials, news, etc. at the top of the right column.

The lessons are .pdf files (you can get the adobe reader for free) that connect to videos also.  You read about the position, the history of yoga, the meditation, etc, and then watch the video to see the correct way to execute the position.   It gives you a different workout plan for everyday.

Best of all, you can do it at your own pace.  If you want to do lesson one for 3 days, you can.  Advance to day 2 when you are comfortable with day 1.  Just remember to download the lessons as they come in. The course includes:

• 21 daily lessons,
• 22 videos,
• 211 pages of comprehensive yoga instruction in over 60 powerful yoga techniques, yoga history and theory, yoga psychology, yoga diet, cleansing, yoga lifestyle and more…
• along with daily yoga practice guidelines,
• and special appendices of yoga practice routines.

Is it free?  No, but it is less expensive than six yoga classes at your local gym.  In fact, I would consider taking this course before I went to yoga lessons.  That way I would get more out of the lessons, being familiar with the positions and having practiced.  I might even be able to start at a higher level.

If you have been following my posts, you know that I am one that would rather do the yoga in the quiet and privacy of my own home.  I would rather have a set of good Yoga DVD’s to slip in the DVD player and do my yoga with them.  In fact, I would have several so I could switch them out, maybe one for each day of the week.  So this 3-week e-course is right up my alley.

It is free to check it out and see what all they have to say about it.  Click here to learn more.

I could re-write what Dane says, but it is better if you read it in his own words.  Take a minute to read this article – it will be well worth your time.

The answer is simple. Your technique, your program balance, your focus. Watch the video for some down to earth facts from Vince Delmonte. You will pick up some tips. (The sound track may be out of sync with the video, but the facts are still relevant.)

So how do you develop your abs? Check out the article: Ab Exercises -- The Best Ab Exercises to give you facts about the weight workouts.

How do you find a good abs workout? Check out Ab workouts -- Finding The Best Ab Workouts for a good guide to help you choose.

You have to be in some sort of shape to start this.  And it will take some equipment.  You can find the equipment at a gym, so you don’t have to purchase the equipment.  Take a deep breath and be ready to work -- then Shape that Body.

Vince DelMonte and Shannon Clark have a complete program just for females called Bodyshaping Success Kit for Women.

Set in a kneeling position with your bottom on your feet and back straight; then take 3 cleansing breaths.  Lean forward over your legs into a child pose (much like a fetal position), head on floor.

Reach your arms out in front of you, then unfold to a prone position, and raise your head and torso up into the cobra position.  If possible, do not let your front touch the floor during the transition.

Now bring your head and torso back towards the floor and lift your legs up with your arms stretched down the sides of your body into the grasshopper position.

Now, lift your legs higher, bending at the knees.  Reach back with your arms and catch your ankles.  This is the bow position.

Slowly lower back into the bow position, down and forward into the cobra position, then shift back into the child pose.  Slowly pull  up into the kneeling position and breath.  Repeat 3 or 4 times.

See how simple it is to make a routine? Until you feel knowledgeable about yoga, I suggest you get a good set of yoga DVDs such as Wai Lana’s (see right column).

Here is the second of two 4 minute routines to you can kick start your body’s Fat Burning to Lose Fat. Use Part 1 the first day, Part 2 the second day, and repeat the following days.  You will notice the difference in just a few days.

Remember, this is by a professional bodybuilder, so modify it to fit your abilities.  Use weights you are used to -- ladies, start with 2 lbs weights.  The box jump, use a low platform; you can easily build one out of wood or use an exercise mat folded up.  Be careful it is something you can jump on and off without falling or having it tip over on you.  Make other modifications as necessary.  Since you time each piece instead of counting reps, you will automatically start at your pace, then work up.

Use Part 1 one day and Part 2 the next

These smoothies are to be used with weight workouts.  To see more about Vince’s workout programs for women, click here. Men, click here.
