You could spend a lot of time and money researching all the programs out there that promise to help you burn fat and get ripped abs. Luckily for you, I've done the work for you and tested many programs myself.

Like I've said before, any good fat-burning, six-pack abs program will be built around tried and tested principles, which basically boil down to the following:

• do strength training to add lean muscle to your body
• do interval training instead of long, steady cardio workouts
• be careful about your nutrition.

The 3 programs I've chosen here are the ones I feel do the best job of presenting the information to you and making it easy for you to get started right away and achieve the fat loss and fitness goals you've set for yourself.

A useful addition to any of these programs is the Body Transformation Tracker. You can download it now for free.
