You are probably reading this because you are searching the internet for the best ways to get a flat stomach, how to get a shredded six-pack, or maybe just the fastest way to get rid of belly fat – right?
Let’s go ahead and get one thing straight……
The idea that you can remove stubborn body fat
from one particular body part – IS A MYTH!
Doing ab exercises will not burn more fat off your mid-section anymore than doing bench press will burn fat off your chest, or shoulder presses will burn fat off your arms.
You can NOT spot reduce fat!!
Getting a six-pack requires achieving a low level of body fat that has nothing to do with how many crunches or abs exercises you do.
You can’t see your abs if you have excess body fat covering them!
Now, there are some exceptions. Some people do genetically store less fat in their mid-section. If that is the case, their abs will be more visible even with higher overall levels of body fat.
Unfortunately, you can’t pick and choose where your body stores fat, but you CAN workout and eat based on your genetics.
Either way, no matter your genetics, you still have to tone and tighten your abdominal muscles so that as you lose body fat through whole-body exercise, cardio, and diet – they can be revealed!
Before we show you a short workout that will do just that, let’s quickly touch on another AB MYTH!
Many people believe you need to do HUNDREDS of crunches every day to work your core. More is better right? This is also FALSE!
If you use your time efficiently, you don’t need to spend hours in the gym, and you certainly don’t need to limit your ab exercises to endless crunches.
The ab workout we are giving you today uses exercises that we carefully selected, so you hit ALL of your ab muscles in the most effective way possible!
The best part – it only takes 6 minutes from start to finish!
So go ahead, get on the floor and get moving as soon as you wake up, while dinner is cooking, or even on your lunch break!
If you aren’t sure how to do any of these movements or want to follow along with Vince, he filmed a follow-along video for you – BELOW!

But don’t forget what we touched on earlier….
To see the abs you build, you do need to reduce overall body fat. The only way to do that is through full-body exercise and a proper diet.
This is where knowing your BODY TYPE is really helpful.
Everyone is born with different genetics. The diet and workout that will help you shed the most body fat and build the most calorie-burning lean muscle may not be the same as someone else.
That is why we created a fast and free body type quiz.
Our quiz has helped hundreds-of-thousands of people achieve mind-blowing transformations!
All you have to do is answer a few questions, and in minutes you will be given tools that will help you customize your diet and training around your genetics!
The combination of dieting and exercising for your body type, as well as the 6-minute home ab workout above, will no doubt help you get on the right track, so you can show off your flat stomach in no time!!
