Throughout my life I have always desired six pack abs. I went through a period in my twenties where I worked out consistently, every day, for roughly 2 hours and always did cardio and abs. But being young and ignorant I thought abs were a product of exercise solely. I have since been educated and recognize that abs, of the 6 pack variety, are more a product of nutrition…plus some exercise.
Not really me…but could be.
So last week I set a goal to focus on my eating and my exercise, to take a four month challenge to get noticeable abs. For those of you who know me well this will be a huge challenge. I love to eat and the foods I love to eat are not exactly healthy. I like pizza, ice cream and candy. But for the next 4 months I am being intentional in my eating and intentional in my work outs.
I plan to chronicle my daily routine and hopefully by the end you will see a transformation. I will look at my wins for the day, my obstacles and challenges I had to overcome and share my exercise routine and food consumption. I am doing this for a couple of reasons. First, I need to be accountable, so keep me honest. Second, maybe you can relate, maybe not, but either way I hope this journey inspires you to set a goal and go after it.
I am 38 years old and have never had a noticeable six pack. I call this my six pack challenge. You can also follow the journey on twitter (@jakeacarlson #my6pack). My daily postings will be at www.familybeforefortune.com/mysixpackchallenge (Click Here to Check it Out)
