I have always been an athletic person since elementary school and people always used to marvel at my body.
When I got to junior high I realised that lots of the guys had  sculpted rock hard abs that drove the girls crazy.
As late as I stayed up each night doing sit-ups my abs just never came.
I started becoming very conscious of this and was embarrassed to take off my shirt in front of other people.
I realised something had to be done about this and that is why I started reading as much as I could about how to build hard abs.
After reading many hours worth of articles and buying many products promising hard abs, which were mostly useless, I soon found my secret to the life of a beach god.
To me rock hard abs are the most important focal point of your body as all girls find them very very sexy.
You could have to biggest arms and chest but if your stomach is lacking a six pack then you sex appeal falls drastically.
I also enjoy working my abs the most because I know they will separate me from the countless guys on the beach that work everything properly but their abs.
My secret to my abs is simple.
I work them 3 times a week before my gym session, otherwise you might be too lazy after your heavy workout, for approximately 15 minutes.
The routines vary but consist of crunches with a weighted ball in between feet, side crunches, planks and other unconventional ab exercises that the typical person does not due.
Another very important aspect to achieving a chiseled six pack is diet.
A lot of people have a gleaming six pack from all the crunches but it is covered by body fat that accumulates in the stomach area.
A healthy diet with a good dose of cardio is required to burn off this fat to start showing off the abs.
