Just a couple of weeks back Aamir8217;s eight-pack abs made a blaring entry to the fitness world when Ghajini8217;s promos hit the screen. As the first actor in Bollywood to flaunt eight-pack abs walked the screen exuding incredible sex appeal, Shah Rukh8217;s OSO8217;s six-pack abs just about faded into oblivion. As fitness trainers in the city grapple with the flood of demands from fitness freaks for the all-new eight-pack abs, you know Bollywood has struck again.

Walk into a fitness centre in the city and you8217;ll find special programmes on for eight-pack abs while muscle maniacs sweat it out with extra crunches, sit ups and leg lifts to get that perfectly toned and shaped torso.

Twenty-four year-old, software developer, Samir Madhani who aims to appear for Gladrags mega model hunt next year increased the hours for his workout the moment promos of Aamir Khan8217;s recent film, Ghajini hit the screen. Madhani who works out on a regular basis at More Effective Health Club at Hadapsar did not want to lag behind in the race. 8220;Once the film is released, it will be eight-packs which people will be looking for in a model and not six,8221; says Madhik.

While Madhani works out to develop his eight packs, Nitin More his fitness trainer puts his act together to add the extra inputs to the fitness programme. 8220;There is not much difference between developing six and eight-pack abs. In fact it8217;s the same way as for a six-pack-just more intensive. But what can you do to get on with the process is making sure that you keep the momentum going and arrive at your goal without becoming too side tracked. Also eight-packs largely depend on body structure. So we have decided to design a programme which apart from the exercises will also clear the myths attached to developing abs,8221; says More. According to More the height and the width of the abdominal region decides whether one can develop eight-pack abs or not. 8220;Not everyone can develop eight-pack abs. It largely depends on the body structure,8221; asserts More

Rekha Khandelwal, Abs fitness centre, ICC Towers that too has clients asking for developing eight-pack abs concurs with More on who can reach that state of fitness. 8220;Abs are small muscles in your body. Toning them is all about reducing fat and developing muscles. Once you reduce fat, it will be visible on its own. But as far as eight-pack abs is concerned, it8217;s all about an individual8217;s body structure. It8217;s all one muscle; it just has tendons running across it. The packs depend on how thick the tendon is and the length of the muscle itself. Those with a short tendon will probably be able to get an eight pack.8221; So do you qualify? If so, go get it!
