A lot of people are under the mistaken impression that all they need to do to build six pack abs is to join a gym. Unfortunately, it's more complicated than that - there is far more to getting killer abs than to just work out. The first step to achieving 6 pack abs is to accept that it will be difficult process requiring a lot of hard work.

I've looked into the matter and found seven secrets which can help you to get a defined six pack and the killer abs you've always wanted.

1. Accept the fact that getting ripped six pack abs isn't necessarily going to be easy. There are far too many who jump into developing their abs without realizing this - when they find out that it's going to be hard work getting 6 pack abs, they give it up and abandon their dream of killer abs. You need to know from the beginning that it's going to take hard work to achieve that six pack you're after.

2. Routine life: A routine will really help on your path to getting a 6 pack. You need to follow a routine as in a fixed time to sleep, eat, workout, etc. leading an irregular life will keep you from getting the better results.

3. Healthy food: In order to get a well-toned body with 6-pack abs it is very important to avoid junk food and follow a healthy diet plan. A proper diet plan will provide you with every nutrient your body needs to function at its best.

4. Use the right workout plan. This is probably the most important factor. While exercise is great for you, you need to be getting the right kind of workouts if you want to build those ripped 6 pack abs. Consult a professional for advice on what kind of workouts are right for you; if you're working out the right way, your six pack abs will be develop a lot quicker.

5. Old habits may die hard (just make sure that they die). If you smoke or drink, you need to give up these habits. Drinking in moderation is fine, especially if you switch to healthy choices like antioxidant rich red wine, but the cigarettes have to go if you really want to build killer abs.

6. Water. Getting enough water is vital. Drink eight to ten glasses of water a day. When you work out, you lose a lot of moisture, so proper hydration is important. Drinking enough water keeps your body working properly and detoxes your system.

7. Sleep: The strain of working out leads to wear and tear on your body tissues. Your body recovers while you're sleeping. It is highly recommended that you get enough sleep at night to help your body recover and relax so that you're all pumped up and refreshed for the next day.
