Better Abs: Believe it or not, the secret is in the mind

Try the Fit Over 40 Abs
program and Lose Weight Today!
Probably the most common question I get other than "do you lift
weights?" or "how much can you bench" is, "How do you get
those abs?" Not many bodybuilders carry 6-packs around the entire year,
and I'm no exception. However, during a 'peaking phase', my abs are pretty
decent for a guy who was once completely obese!

They're
shocked at my first response, and you will be, too:
"What are you thinking about when you eat? "After
a few seconds of blank stares, I usually get the reply,
"I don't know... never really thought about it!"
"Exactly," I say. "How do you plan on getting
any part of your body to respond, including your abs,
without concentration on the challenge?"
However,
it's more than just 'concentration' - I'm literally telling
my body what I want it to do with the food I'm eating, with
the workout I'm doing, and with the cardio I'm performing. I
often touch my mid-section to make a stronger connection.
I'm constantly visualizing myself with the abs I want. I
never waver from that vision. When I do, that's when the fat
loss slows down. Sounds too hocus-pocus? Give it a shot and
then talk to me!

Let
me give you one brief example of the power of thought on the body, (and you
can see dozens more in "Fit Over 40"
).
In
the book "Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking" by Malcom
Gladwell, a fascinating study was noted about the power of mere association
with physical performance. A group of individuals were asked to read documents
that were riddled with subtle "age" words, like "prune",
or "wither". They were then asked to walk to a hallway to take
another test. They were not told the reason for the readings, or why the
readings changed.
The
result? Each time the person read more "age" words, they literally
ALTERED the way they walked down the hall. Speed slowed down considerably...
even posture changes were noted. They literally began to "act old".
If you think this does not work in reverse, think again.
You
can see dozens of ab routines inside the Fit Over 40 e-book. Every ab routine
will work optimally once you change how you perceive the power of your words
and your thoughts! For more information, go to fitover40.
