Q: What Is The Easiest Way To Lose Weight?
A: The easiest, safest way to lose weight quickly would be to first work out the calories you need in a day, and then reduce this by 20-25%. That’s how many calories you’re going to eat per day. This is general advice, and there would be a lot of individual considerations to think about but it’s a great starting point.
Q: What Is The Quickest Ways To Get A 6 Pack?
A: The quickest way to reveal your six-pack would be to drop your body-fat percentage to a level where your six pack muscles (abdominals) are visible which is around 12% for guys. For women, this is slightly harder, but abs can be visible between 22-25%. We all have six packs somewhere but through an effective training and dieting strategy, this is how you get to show them off!
Q: How Can I Gain Muscle Fast?

Do this using a challenging load.

Repeat 4-5 times a week to ensure your muscles are provided with enough stimulus.
-
To recover, sleep 7-9 hours a night.

You may also wish to consider supplements such as creatine.
