There was a time when being voluptuous and leggy defined sexiness for women. Only men had six-packs and body-building for women were virtually unheard of. We're in a different era now- a time where women orbit the earth as astronauts and drive Formula 1 race cars alongside men.

Tastes and standards have changed with the times. The image of the voluptuous, busty bombshell with the pouting scarlet lips has been replaced by the toned and tanned surfer chick with cut abs.

Girls with washboard abs are abound- fighting aliens on the silver screen, Madonna strutting her ripped bod onstage, and even in mixed martial arts tournaments- ring girls before the fights and even IN the fights as contenders!

People may think girls with six pack abs go through a gauntlet of intense, excruciating abdominal exercises for several hours each day. Not so. All that active women (and men, for that matter) have to do to is just lose excess body fat to reveal all the ab muscles underneath.

Because it's not possible to spot-reduce belly fat, the only way to expose those glorious abdominal muscles underneath is to avoid fatty food and burn-off excess body fat through a slew of fat-busting exercises.

When it comes to burning body fat and getting six-pack abs, what goes for men is the same for women. Increasing the body's metabolism through an effective fat-burning exercise program and eating wisely is the way for guys and girls.

The best and least time-consuming way for girls to get abs is to increase their metabolism for optimum fat-burn. This can be done through a combination of cardio and bodybuilding exercises. It's common knowledge that cardio exercises are most effective in burning body fat, and developing the muscles puts contours and striations in the abdomen- giving the six pack look.

Doing muscle-building exercises along with cardio workouts can also help in getting you get six pack abs faster by increasing the body's metabolic rate. Muscle tissue has been discovered to expend energy even while inactive. Working on your muscle tone aside from doing fat-busting aerobic exercise will let you burn more calories with lesser effort.
