“Magic Mike” Lessons For Six-Pack Abs

July 3, 2012 / Staff

If you need a little inspiration to hit the gym and define your abdominal muscles then the new film, “Magic Mike”, directed by Steven Soderbergh and starring Matthew McConaughey and Channing Tatum, might be just the ticket to get you off the couch and away from the carbs.

Personal trainer and registered dietician, Jim White, has some tips for getting rock hard abs just like the stars.

White says diet is the first step to turning yourself into a lean, mean, stripping machine.
“When it comes to losing weight and getting ripped abs and a flat washboard stomach, you need to control your portion size,” he says. “Most men eat big portions so they need to watch that. Plus they need to make sure their carbohydrates are at a moderate level and that they’re not white, refined or processed carbohydrates.”

Morning cardio and afternoon full body workouts, three times a week, should get you in shape in 5-6 months if you’re the average guy.
