My abs transformation I also played sports around 4-5 days per week, which included a lot of cardio… …I spent countless hours doing six pack workouts and routines. I even spent some time trying out di erent diets, such as the Ketogenic diet, where I cut out carbs entirely in the hopes of dropping body fat. It was confusing and frustrating. Regardless of the hard work I was putting in, my abs never really came through the way I’d hoped, and honestly, it felt like I was doing everything. …Sound familiar? Over the years, I began to accumulate and apply knowledge with both my training and nutrition. It was amazing how many simple things were holding me back from achieving my goal physique, and how many misconceptions I had about getting abs. I’ve designed this ebook to literally save you years worth of time and money in order to get abs. So if you’re ready… Let’s begin! ff Page 6 of 31 YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS I want to start this off by saying that having abs or not shouldn’t reflect how much you ‘like’ your body, and first and foremost, you shouldn’t neglect your mental health in order to get abs. You shouldn’t starve yourself in severe calorie deficits, or try to maintain the worlds lowest body fat percentage for the 24/7 365 days a year, this is a recipe for mental and physical health issues. This isn’t to suggest that you can’t have a six pack year round, and also be healthy, which is very much possible - but you must be aware that there will be phases where you will be leaner and have slightly more defined abs, and other muscles, and times where you may appear ‘fluffier’. This is totally fine, and normal. Why many people struggle with getting lean: The main issue with getting abs is the overwhelming amount of information towards getting them. You’ll hear one person say that getting abs is entirely, 100% through diet, another person saying they’re just doing ‘a thousand crunches every morning’, other people saying you can’t do anything about abs, no matter how much you train them, and others who say that even if you did get lean enough to get them, they won’t last the winter. The truth is, revealing your abdominal muscles isn’t actually that hard to do - but it definitely does require some fundamental knowledge (and a little bit of effort to get). If something was easy everyone would do it. Page 7 of 31 First things first, we need to understand that having an impressive core will come down to two things… 1: Eating in a calorie deficit (which I’m sure you’ve already heard the term of before) 2: Training the different parts of the abdominals correctly. In this guide, I will break down the necessary principles of nutrition, the anatomy of the core muscles, and then finally offer you an effective exercise plan which you can implement into your daily gym routine. Before we get started… This guide doesn’t mean getting abs is going to be a walk in the park. It’s still going to require effort, and the more you put in, the more you get out, depending on how far you want to go. “If you don’t ind the time, if you don’t do the work, you don’t get the results” - Arnold Schwarzenegger f Page 8 of 31 COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS AND ANSWERS Below is a list of common myths people have when it comes to getting abs… MYTH 1 Training abs directly will ‘burn body fat around your abs’. A: You can’t target where you want fat to go sadly, and for most people, the nal place it comes o is on the stomach and lower back. MYTH 2 You need to ‘cut out carbs’ in order to lose body fat. A: The only thing you need to cut down on are overall calories. Whether or not you eat in a high carb / low fat diet, or a low carb / high fat diet, the number one thing that will get you to drop body fat and reveal your abs will be the total amount of calories you eat every day. MYTH 3 ‘You build your abs by doing tonnes of body weight crunches etc’ A: The abdominal muscles function no di erently to any other muscle in the body. You don’t grow your legs by doing 50 reps of body weight squats. Muscles grow through progressive overload - and the abs aren’t any di erent. They will grow through increasing weight over time, and incorporating the right exercises to accommodate for this. ff ff ff fi Page 9 of 31 MYTH 4 ‘Training abs will give you a blocky waist’ A: So there may be a slight element of truth to this, obviously as a muscle gets stimulated, it grows. However, your waist size will largely be dependent on the width of the hip bone and the muscle insertion of the oblique. Training abs won’t change the shape of the bone. Further, the sheet of muscle on the abdominals are so thin compared to other muscles, that your waist really won’t grow in size - especially when you consider the fact that you will be losing body fat. The main culprit of having a thicker waist is simply having higher body fat. You’ll be amazed at how much smaller your waist will look once you get lean enough. Incorporating the correct ab training on top of this will ensure that when you are lean enough - your core will look far better than it would have if you didn’t train it at all. Page 10 of 31 THE IMPORTANCE OF GENETICS The truth is genetics are important when it comes to our potential. This doesn’t mean however, that we can’t all massively improve and shock ourselves with what we have. Some people simply have very de ned, full abdominals and hold low amounts of body fat, and don’t even workout. Other people store the majority of their body fat on their abdominals and lower backs, and have to be more mindful of their nutrition because of this. Some people also have fourpacks, two-packs, six-packs, and so forth, we’re all di erent. No matter how hard we try, we can’t change how many abs we have. If you have a four-pack, no amount of ab workouts will build two more abs and give you a six pack. This is just our muscle insertion, and it’s something we’re born with. I’m not writing this to sound disheartening though. Yes, we’ve all been given a di erent card, but the opportunity for us to improve and develop the best version of it is there. There are plenty of top level competitors who have twopacks or four-packs, but their cores are still extremely impressive. ff fi ff Page 11 of 31 NUTRITION FOR FAT LOSS The abdominal muscles are developed in the gym, however, they are revealed through diet and nutrition. The goal with your nutrition should be to nd ways to enjoy your food, but to also be in a sustained, consistent calorie de cit. This is the hard part because people nd it di cult to stay in a de cit. You need to know that you can actually eat whatever you want, but keep it within a certain calorie range. This will mean that yes, you can eat a load of junk food and still be in a de cit but because junk food is generally higher in calories, you won’t be able to eat that much of it. This means that you’ll end up being hungry, and binge eat on more foods and go into a surplus, which isn’t what we want when trying to stay in a de cit. Therefore I highly recommend that you combine foods you enjoy with higher volume meals, and limit the amount of junk food you eat. There are plenty of extremely tasty food options and alternatives to junk foods which are easy to sustain and enjoy. BINGE EATING / CHEAT MEALS Big binge days aren’t ideal, but they are possible if you: • Limit them to at most once per month • Try not to go extremely overboard • Be mindful with the calories • Add additional cardio the day before, day of, and day after (e.g. increase step count by 5,000 for each day) • Get straight back on track with your diet ffi fi fi fi fi fi fi Page 12 of 31 HOW TO IMPLEMENT FOODS YOU ENJOY INTO YOUR DIET • Find lower calorie alternatives, and be creative. This means you can actually eat MORE of what you enjoy, but with less calories. • Actively search for low calorie alternatives for foods you enjoy. For example, if you enjoy omelettes, begin implanting more egg whites instead of just eggs. If you enjoy lots of honey and sugar, replace that with sweeteners and Zero Calorie Syrups etc. • Simply limit the portion sizes of what you enjoy eating, or make sure you have enough volume food to have throughout the rest of the day to keep you full and also enjoy the foods you like. Listen, unfortunately, low calorie foods won’t be as tasty as the highest calorie foods - it’s just how it works. You need to be willing to make a little bit of sacri ce in order to reach your goal of getting abs. As you begin to progress and gain more knowledge, you’ll nd ways to become very satis ed and love your diet. FAT LOSS CHECKLIST Below is a list I want you to go over. These are extremely useful to ensure that you remain in a good and sustainable de cit. 1. Replace oils with 1 calorie sprays. This helps massively. This also doesn’t mean you have to only use 1 spray when you cook (for example, I normally use around 10-15 sprays, which ensures that foods cook perfectly ne). The di erence is you’re still saving hundreds of calories that you would have otherwise eaten from oils. fi fi ff fi fi Page 13 of 31 fi fi If you can’t get back into your diet or routine, then I would highly recommend that you ignore binge days altogether and nd ways to implement the foods you enjoy into your daily routine and diet. This massively help keep you in a calorie de cit which will help you lose body fat 2. Have at least two big volume meals a day. These volume meals are absolutely necessary to keep you full, but also have minimal calories. They are extremely important if you often nd yourself wanting to binge eat. (GO TO PAGE __ FOR VOLUME MEAL RECIPES) 3. Replace the sauces such as ketchup, and mayonnaise with lower calorie or ‘lighter’ equivalents. Invest in some hot sauce if you enjoy it as they have far less calories. 4. Reduce carbohydrate portion and fat portion size in each meal. 5. Increase fruits & vegetables (this will take up more space in your stomach and keep you feeling full) 6. THE SLOWER THE BETTER! Don’t be in TOO MUCH of a de cit. Aim to lose around 0.5-1.5LBS per week. To do this, take the average of how much you weigh over a week, and compare it with the average of the next week. This will ensure a more accurate result. If you’re a higher body fat % you can a ord to lose around 2lbs, but as you get leaner, and your abs become more visible, you need to begin to aim for a very slow weight loss per week. This will ensure that you don’t lose muscle. 7. Increase Protein consumption. Make sure you’re eating at least 1g of Protein per pound (lbs) of bodyweight (i.e. a 180lbs person will require 180g of protein per day). Protein also has a ‘thermogenic’ e ect, which means your body burns more calories in order to digest the protein - which will help you stay in a de cit. 8. Spread protein intake throughout the course of the day. Your body needs time to absorb the protein, and can only absorb a certain amount in each meal. Therefore, you should aim to split your total protein over the course of the day and aim to have high protein in each meal. You can go over your protein intake, but don’t go under. 9. Use food tracking apps. Apps such as MyFitnessPal are extremely useful in order to visually see how many calories you’re eating on a daily basis. They will make your life easier when you get used to them and will lead to better results. Just don’t become too obsessed with tracking every little thing 24/7 - there will be moments where you can’t, and that’s ne. fi fi fi fi ff fi ff Page 14 of 31 CARDIO FOR FAT LOSS Cardio is good for you, and your overall health. Let’s get that out of the way. But for fat loss, people often think that doing excessive high intensity cardio is the key. The only thing that matters when it comes to losing fat is being in a calorie de cit which can be done entirely through diet alone, and without any cardio at all. CARDIO INCREASE CALORIES OUT INCREASE CHANCES OF BEING IN A CALORIE DEFICIT So, cardio doesn’t mean you burn fat. It just burns calories. Let’s say you have a maintenance calories of 2,000. You burn 500 calories doing cardio. This brings you down to a total of 1500. But then you go and eat a 700 calorie burger. You’re now at 2,200, which is a surplus. This means you will gain weight. So you see, cardio is a useful tool to lose fat, but you must be aware of how much you’re eating. WHAT CARDIO IS BEST? All forms of cardio will help you burn calories, and get into a calorie de cit, but to get a low level of body fat and sustain that level, (key word: sustain) low intensity cardio will be your best option, because it’s something that you can sustain inde nitely. fi fi fi Page 15 of 31 Walking! HOW TO TRACK STEPS If you use any moderately up to date mobile phone, or have a smart watch - there is an inbuilt pedometer which tracks your steps. The key with your step count is to increase it from what you’re already doing, and meet that each day. So for example, if you already do 10,000 steps per day, increase it to 15,000 and aim to meet it. Each day. I’d set the target of at least doing 8,000 steps per day - this is a great point to start with. As mentioned, if you’re already doing 8,000+ per day, increase it by a few thousand for the rst few weeks. WHEN DO I INCREASE STEPS? Steps should increase when you notice absolutely no reduction in weight for 7 consecutive days straight (more on rates of weight loss in the next chapter) WHY NO HIGH INTENSITY CARDIO? 1. Sustainability High intensity cardio isn’t bad. But it actually makes fat loss more di cult. While you may be burning a lot of calories in a short amount of time - it’s very taxing on the body, which means that when you combine it with consistent weight lifting, you will physically burn out very quickly, and it will be unsustainable. Low intensity cardio is great because its extremely sustainable, you can pretty much do a daily walk inde nitely. ffi Page 16 of 31 fi fi So…what form of cardio do we all have access to, can be done whenever and wherever, and is extremely sustainable? 2. Increases the chances of putting us in a ‘catabolic state’ A catabolic state is when our bodies break down both fat and muscle tissue. This is why many people struggle with losing muscle during fat loss phases. A catabolic state is brought upon us during intensive or extensive cardio training, and therefore, we expose ourselves far more to being in a catabolic state when doing higher intensity cardio, and even moderate intensity cardio for extended periods of time. HOW TO STAY OUT OF A CATABOLIC STATE? Having protein digesting in our system, and attempting to go no longer 4-5 hours without a meal is a great way to prevent catabolism. This is why walking is a great form of cardio, because we can have a snack while we walk, or eat just before walking - we can’t eat before performing moderate or high intensity cardio (well, most of us…) FASTED CARDIO? While fasted cardio may be good for ‘quick’ weight loss, it also massively increases the risk of catabolism, and burning through muscle tissue that we spent a long time to build. As discussed, the only thing that matters is calories in, and calories out, and remaining in a net calorie de cit. Therefore, even if we consume calories, whilst burning calories through walking, this will have no negative e ect at all on reaching your fat loss goals. So, providing that you aren’t consuming more than you are burning, you can eat and do your daily walk throughout the day. DO I NEED TO DO MY WALK IN ONE GO? No, your walk can be split over the course of the entire day, as long as you hit your step goal for the day consistently, you will be reaching your cardio goal too. I want you to keep reminding yourself of the concept of ‘net calories over the course of the day’ rather than doing things in one block. fi ff Page 17 of 31 RATES OF REDUCING CALORIES / INCREASING CARDIO Over time, as you get leaner you’re going to want to reduce the calories you consume slightly, and increase cardio. WHEN TO REDUCE CALORIES? The goal with sustainability is keeping your calorie intake as high as possible for as long as possible. It isn’t sustainable to eat very little calories for long periods of time, therefore before we even think about reducing calories, we must rst increase our steps. The only time I’d increase calories is when you feel that the level of steps you’re doing becomes extremely excessive - for me this was at around 14-15,000 steps every single day. HOW MANY CALORIES DO I DROP? When you do decide to drop calories, keep it very small. If you aren’t tracking food, begin to just reduce portion sizes slightly (speci cally the fats) Keep the adjustments small and try to maintain that level until you see no changes in weight loss for an entire week straight. Only then may you begin to decrease calories again. If you’re tracking food, eat at maintenance calories until your weight loss stops and you’ve increased your steps to an upper threshold limit, and then begin reducing calories by increments of 100 each week (200 if you struggle to track). fi fi Page 18 of 31 Here’s an example of how you can plan out your weight loss and cardio to visually see your progression. I do this and it’s extremely useful. (these are random values, don’t copy these for yourself) Week 1 Calories 2500 (maintenance) Steps 8,000 Average Weight Week 2 Calories 2500 (maintenance) Steps 8,000 Average Weight -1bs Week 3 Calories 2500 (maintenance) Steps 8,000 Average Weight -1lbs Week 4 Calories 2500 (maintenance) Steps 8,000 Average weight -0lbs Week 5 Calories 2500 (maintenance) Steps 10,000 (+2000) Average weight -1lbs … Week 8 Calories 2500 (maintenance) Steps 12,000 (+4000 and upper limit for this individual) Average weight -0lbs Week 9 Calories 2400 (100 calorie de cit from food) Steps 12,000 (+4000 and upper limit for this individual) Average weight -0.5lbs) Etc. fi Page 19 of 31 WHEN SHOULD YOU INCREASE CARDIO? From the previous example, we can see that you should only increase your cardio activity when you don’t notice a drop in weight for the entire week. This is because weight can uctuate on a daily basis, and we may even gain weight on some days. Here is an example of what weight loss throughout the week may look like for someone who started at 180lbs. WEEK 1 DAY 1: 180 LBS DAY 2: 179.5 LBS DAY 3: 178.5 LBS DAY 4: 181 LBS DAY 5: 180LBS DAY 6: 179 LBS DAY 7: 178LBS Calories and cardio kept consistent yet weight still increases on some days AVERAGE 179.4 As you can see, from the start to the end of the week, there was still a 0.6 lb loss in weight on average, regardless of days where there were increases in weight. If this individual decided to increase cardio, or reduce calories on day 4 or 5, it would disrupt the process, and put them at an increased level of poor sustainability in the long term; they were still on track of losing weight! Let’s say that the average weight for the following week didn’t change, or in fact increased, then you may be permitted to increase cardio. THE WOOSH EFFECT The ‘Woosh’ e ect is extremely important to consider when losing fat. What happens is, people go into a de cit for a prolonged period of time, and they weigh themselves every day and the fi ff fl Page 20 of 31 weight doesn’t seem to drop. Then randomly, they’ll weigh themselves the next morning and they’ll be 4lbs lighter. This is called the ‘Woosh’ e ect, and it’s your body dropping water weight. Our bodies can hold up to 4lbs if not more of water weight alone, so while we are actually losing fat, sometimes the weight on the scale isn’t going down because were holding water weight. So, I want to emphasise… …THE BIGGEST MISTAKE you can do is start panicking when you’re not losing weight, and drop calories suddenly, because you may in fact already be losing fat in a de cit but retaining water weight. fi ff Page 21 of 31 LOW CALORIE FOOD OPTIONS Here are a list of 30 extremely low calorie foods that are high in volume which you can instantly and easily implement into your diet! 1. Shirataki Penne (Pasta alternative) 2. Sugar free jello (great snack for sweet cravings) 3. Pickles (super low in calories, but may increase water retention due to sodium levels) 4. Vegetable broth 5. Pumpkin Pureé 6. Fat free cheese (cottage cheese, quark) - amazing sources of protein and also very lling 7. Nupasta 8. Zero Calorie / Low calorie syrups 9. Salsa, Sour cream, gravy 10. Unsweetened cashew milk (or other nut milk) 11. Co ee (ca eine also helps suppress appetite and burn calories) 12. Watercress, spinach, and lettuce ( lling and low calories vegetable sources) 13. Bock Choy (super low calorie vegetable, and great to add to stir fries) 14. Strawberries and blackberries (high volume, and low calorie fruits) 15. Egg whites (great to add to any sort of meal, or even to add to an omelette to increase the volume without adding more eggs) 16. Konjac noodles / rice / pasta (extremely low calorie and high volume alternative, I’d recommend noodles as you can pretty much emulate ramen and an entire 400g of it has less than 30 calories - crazy) 17. Low calorie salad dressings 18. Low calorie ketchup & mayo 19. 1 Calorie cooking sprays (essential for cooking, especially pan cooking) 20. Mushrooms and tomatoes (very low in calories, and great to add to dishes) 21. Cauli ower rice (This is amazing if you fry it with a combination of other ingredients such as egg whites, and some vegetables) 22. Turkey Breast llets / chicken breast llets 23. Low fat ground beef 24. Prawns 25. White sh 26. Diet pop 27. Sparkling water 28. Flavour drops such as vanilla 29. Sweeteners (I believe they’re safe to take, but if you are concerned, be sure to research or consult a health professional rst). 30. At Cafés opt for nut milk in your co ee (skimmed milk if you must). These have very low calories. fi fi ff fi fi ff fi fi fl ff Page 22 of 31 HOW THE ROUTINE WILL WORK Before we begin with the plan and exercises, it’s important to understand the three parts of the core we will be focusing on. Upper section External oblique Lower section We could get more complex and deep dive into the anatomy of the core, but my goal with this program is to keep it as simple and easy to understand as possible. Therefore, the workout portion will focus on these three areas. These parts of the core are fundamental areas that we must target in order to develop a ‘complete core’, and as mentioned earlier, no, your waist will not get thicker as the sheet of muscle tissue on the abs is generally very thin, and the potential for growth isn’t anywhere near much as other parts of the body. Also, when we combine these exercises Page 23 of 31 with a calorie de cit - our waists will become vastly thinner, so I wouldn’t worry about this at all. The reason we need to target these three areas is because our abdominals won’t be ‘complete’ if we neglected one. If we only trained the upper portion of our core, the upper abs will get biased more and won’t ow as ‘aesthetically’ with the rest of our core. Furthermore, a question I get asked a lot is whether we need to target our obliques, and the reason that I am a believer in targeting obliques is because when we get lean enough, our abs look far more impressive. The obliques function as a ‘frame’ for our core, similar to how paintings have a picture frame around them which makes the entire painting complete. HOW THE PLAN WORKS These exercises should be done twice a week. I want you to pick two days to do these per week, and t them into your main workout. Do these at the end of your workouts, as you still want the primary focus to be on your actual workouts. The workouts progress slightly in di culty over the period of four weeks. The reason is because if we go all in from the start, we aren’t giving a chance for our abdominal muscles to get used to being worked and we won’t be able to sustain a high intensity all the time. WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE FOUR WEEKS? After the four weeks, restart from week 1, and keep repeating the process inde nitely. This will let our cores recover. Each time we repeat the workout, we can be creative and nd ways to make it more challenging. If you’re on the second round and nding it too easy, then increase the weight you’re using, or try to focus on improving your execution. I would also have at least one rest day in-between each day you select to do these, as this will give your core some time to recover.

If you ever feel that you aren’t making progress, give it time. I can guarantee that you will reach your goals if you can remain consistent and keep moving forward. The biggest key with all training really is simply desire. If there’s a will, there’s a way. For future progression, t’s super important tolook back at your training. How accurately have you followed the guide? have you really been optimising recovery and nutrition? Have you really been training within at least 0-4 Reps in Reserve? Whenever I’ve gone through phases of little to no progress, I’ve looked back and truthfully asked myself these questions… the answers been no every single time! I’d also love to see the progress you make from these programs as writing these programs and guides, and putting them out there is great - but the goal is really to transform and help others. So please send me your progression photos and I’ll be sure to feature them on my social media pages! If you have any questions, concerns, or recommendations for future programs, please feel free to reach me at. peterchristian t@gmail.com Until then, Keep pushing and moving forward! fi Page 31 of 31
