Everyone wants to build abs fast. I mean, who doesn’t? I don’t think I’ve ever met a person who wanted to take things slow as far as defining their abdominal muscles go.
We all want to see results FAST, and that’s a given. There may not be any magic spells for it, but there are things you can do to achieve ripped abs in the shortest possible time. All you need to remember are these 3 simple facts:
1. Burn Fat Fast with a Fast Metabolism.
Train your body hard to increase your metabolic rate. When you have a fast metabolism, your body is actually working WITH you to get rid of excess body fat. The first step to increasing your metabolism requires you to re-evaluate your diet.
A low-fat diet is the first thing you should take on to build abs fast. Cutting down on unhealthy fats and starchy foods will make it easier for your body to put your metabolism in high gear.
Avoid foods that are high in simple sugars and starches such as white bread, white rice, pastries, candy bars, and soda. Always read the nutrition label of food packages and learn how to tell which ingredients are good or bad for you. Even the slightest improvement in your diet can help you a great deal.
2. Burn Fat Fast with Body Heat.
When you work out, your body temperature rises, and that in itself is very important. Your body stores fat for many reasons, particularly for the insulation of heat. Getting rid of EXCESS fat, however, is absolutely necessary.
Using the properties of heat can help build abs fast. How? There are several ways of doing this:
- Wear an insulated exercise shirt under or over your workout clothes.
- Use abdominal wraps to keep your midsection warm and tight.
- Use other body wraps (e.g. thighs) to maximize your workout.
3. Burn Fat Fast with Cardio Workouts.
Nothing speeds up metabolism and gets faster results than cardiovascular exercises. Cardio provides you with a complete body workout. Touching base with every muscle group in your body makes it easier for you to burn excess fat all over.
You may not be aware of it, but a lot of your daily activities already involve some cardio. Walking, for example, is a great cardio workout. Walking to work, going up a flight of stairs, and even grocery shopping are very habit-forming and can easily be considered good cardio practices.
Combined with targeted abs exercises, full cardio workouts can definitely up your game and build abs fast. Other cardio workouts include more intense exercises like the following:
- Running
- Rowing
- Swimming
- Cycling
- Boxing
Working out isn’t a burden; it’s more of a lifestyle, really. Choose the right food, stay warm during workouts, and exercise regularly. Do that and you will definitely build abs fast.

Dear Travis,
Thank you for sharing this.
Really appreciate it.
Can i ask you several question?
1) Can i get my six packs abs by combining sit-up, push-up & yoga?
2) The best repetition for doing sit-up? (Because I want to get six packs in 2 month if possible)
Thanks a lot,
Joe Revod
Hi Joe,
Your best bet for abs is:
1) Eat 5-6 smaller meals throughout the day
2) Do some form of full-body resistance training (weight-training, push-ups, pull-ups, yoga, etc.)
3) Cut out the alcohol and sugar
4) Interval Cardio training (sprints, boxing, etc.)
5) Drink green tea
Good Luck!
If you want to maximize your body’s fat burning capacity and also minimize the muscle loss that inevitably accompanies a fat burning cycle, focus on shorter, 15-minute interval-based cardio workouts performed 3-5 times per week at a high level of intensity.
