Can You Get Abs when you get past 40 years old ?
Yesterday Jan 10th 2010 was 12 months to the day that I took my first photos to record how I looked. I have taken new photos on the 1 year anniversary to show how far I came in 12 months in terms of fat loss. The other reason for taking them is to be the starting point for my new target. Yes I am aiming to get my abs showing. Is it possible for a guy in his mid 40’s to be able to get a six pack ? well I am told it is, so let’s see if I can manage it.
After losing 56lbs of fat last year and hitting my target weight 2 months early, I was happy to just maintain my weight for the rest of the year, and just enjoy reaching the goal I had set at the start of the year, but I also like to give myself new targets, and I think this one is within reach.
From the research I have done, it seems to get 6 pack abs, I have to get my body fat below 10% . I am currently at about 12% ( 20 % lower than this time last year ) so again this is all about diet, all I need to do is use the same flexible eating process I have used to lose the weight I lost in 2009, and just keep going until I get the results I want. I think I need to lose about another 7lbs to do that. After losing so much weight last year, I don’t expect this last 7lbs to come off easily or quickly. I do hope that because of the extra food I ate over the Christmas Holidays, I can get a quick start, but I think a realistic target will be 12 weeks, so that is what I am going to aim for. From Sunday January 10th , I have worked out from the calender that 12 weeks is April 4th 2010, which happens to be Easter Sunday, so that is my target. So, the goal is set, let’s see how I get on.
I can tell you that I won’t be doing any special types of abs exercises, and I won’t be wasting money any abs machines. My abs are there , I just need to get them showing, and I will do that from diet and losing the fat that covers them.
