What to know how long it will take to get six pack abs? Follow the directions in this video to calculate how long it will take!
Directions:
1. Find your lean body mass.
— a. weight x body fat percentage (as a decimal)
— b. weight – pounds of fat = LBM
2. Take goal body fat percentage (as a decimal) and subtract it from one.
— a. Men: 1 – 0.10 = 0.90
— b. Female: 1 – 0.17 = 0.83
*In most cases to see abs, you need to be under 10% if you’re a male and under 17% if you’re a female, so that is why 0.10 and 0.17 are used. You can change these numbers to whatever body fat percentage your goal is.
3. Find your goal weight.
— a. LBM / # number from step 2
4. Calculate how many pounds you need to lose.
— a. starting weight – goal weight
5. Find out how many weeks it will take to lose the weight.
— a. pounds left to lose / 1 or 2
*On most diets, you can expect to lose 1 to 2 pounds per week, so that is the reason for dividing by 1 and 2. You can change these numbers to whatever your weight loss goal is.
6. Now you have a good idea of how long it will take you to reach your goal. Good job if you did all of that math. A+ for you.
