OK, so you're a couch potato. Admit it. Admission is the first step toward taking action.

And, you've  acknowledged that you want to know how to get a six pack. That's another action step.

You were not born a couch potato. And you did not magically become a couch potato overnight. But, for weeks, or months, or years now, you've had thoughts about firming up your body and developing great abs. And, you're at the point you seriously want to know how to get a six pack. So, let's take a realistic look at your ultimate goal and then develop a very simple action plan for reaching that goal.

First, your goal. You need to define your expectation. Do you expect to develop a body that looks like the body builders we've seen on TV, on the Internet, and in books and magazines? Be honest with yourself. Are you willing and able to make the substantial changes to your lifestyle required to develop an incredible body?

Or do you have an expectation of of developing your body so that your muscles are simply attractive and defined? While this goal will require changes and perseverance, the changes to your lifestyle will not be as dramatic as the first option.

When defining your goal,  be honest with yourself. It's important that you have a clear vision of what your body will look like after you have achieved your goal.

Now, let's consider your action plan. And yes, it  will take action on your part to effect ANY kind of change. If you are serious about how to get a six pack, you will need to be serious about your action plan.

You've already acknowledged that you are a couch potato. The primary action required has two parts: 1) get off the couch and 2) no more snacks. So, by simply getting off the couch and putting the snacks away, you've already taken a giant step toward reaching your goal.

Next, you'll need to create an exercise plan and commit to a reasonable diet. Let's look at each one of these.

You already know that your exercises will need to be both well-defined and rigorous in order to achieve your goal. But, maybe you can start slowly. Since you're already off the couch, try doing some exercises while you're still in front of the TV. Hey, there's nothing wrong with watching TV while you exercise! Get on the floor . . . do some leg lifts, sit ups, jumping jacks, toe touches, push ups . . . just do something to create movement. That's an excellent way to begin your exercise program. It's OK to take several days to define your exercise plan. But, it's not OK to stay on the couch. Get off the couch, get on the floor, and get moving.

If you already got rid of the snacks, you've already taken an important step toward changing your diet. Like your exercise plan, your diet plan does not have to be some drastic, life-changing event. You simply need to become aware of everything you put into your mouth and practice some moderation until you find a diet plan with which you are comfortable.

So, you still want to know how to get a six pack? You've admitted you're a couch potato and you have a vision of what you expect your body to look like in the near future. You're moving around in front of the couch instead of sitting on it. And you put the snacks away and you're aware of everything that goes into your mouth. That’s a GREAT start to getting the six pack abs you've been thinking about!
