Ever wonder how you can get six pack abs that those athletes have in the Olympics? It is all about hard work. Yes, you heard right. Sadly, there is just no short-cut to achieving those abs. But not every athlete have the same type of abs. Different sports equals different athletes abdominal. Lets look at the different sports and what kind of abs you can get.

Long Distance Swimmers Vs Sprint Swimmers:

Swimmers have great muscles in their shoulders and arms. Best example of a swimmer will be Micheal Phelps, the first Olympian with 8 golds in 1 Olympics. He is a short-distance swimmer. With his long body, and with muscles on his chest, shoulders and back, he also has great abs. But did you notice the swimmers who swim long distance? They may have strong abs but in terms of having a well defined abs, it is not as well defined.

Marathon Runners Vs Sprinters:

I don’t think you will ever see a long distance runner who is bulky with muscles running a marathon. Not in my life time anyway. Because of the nature of marathons, runners have skinny frame and they may have abs, but it is also not as well-defined.

But for sprinters, just look at Usain Bolt. Have you seen his abs? Other than models, I guess sprinters have one of the best set of six pack abs I have seen so far. If you want prove, just go to youtube and search for videos of his 100m and 200m sprints in the Olympics. He will proudly show you his set of abs again. Just watch his videos.

The way a sprinter goes about his training and the intensity that they put is so much greater and push their heart rate much more than, when compared to long distance runners, who runs at a steady pace.

So if you want to have a set of great abdominals, which athletes training will you follow?
