How To Build Six Pack Abs In Minimal Time

By Howe Russ


With everybody looking for a faster way to get fitter, there is an abundance of misleading information in the fitness industry cashing in on those who are looking to discover how to lose weight quickly. It's not unusual to hear people claiming they can teach you how to get a six pack in 3 minutes per day, or help you build muscle in one hour per week. Like most industries, hype is dominant in health and fitness.

That's not to say you cannot achieve fast results, though.

When it comes to training your midsection there is a wealth of misinformation which tends to serve very little purpose, other than holding people back. Most people find it difficult to focus on something when they have five other sources telling them to do things differently. This is a common problem in the fitness industry, leading many people to quit on themselves due to frustration.

While you could have one instructor telling you that some people just can't develop their abs and another one telling you the opposite, or a fit friend advising you that you need to eat the latest supplements while your work colleagues tell you to avoid them like the plague, the truth is there is not just one way to get fit. There is not just one correct method of working out. Even in today's health and fitness landscape, where things are becoming more scientific by the hour, lots of it still comes down to trial and error.

While you'll be able to tell if a plan is yielding good or bad results for your body and develop it further from there, the basic principles are the same for all of us.

The three movements in this workout are designed to not only strengthen your abs but also toughen the areas around it. By strengthening the muscles around your stomach you will notice that results come far easier. This workout only takes three minutes, but you'll earn your results.

* The Mountain Climber

* Elbow-to-knee Crunches

* Plank Variation (instead of being on your forearms and wrists you'll be elevated up onto your hands in the push-up starting position)

Each move is performed with high intensity for 30 seconds. This session is based around your efforts, so try to cut down rest between exercises to as little as possible or none at all providing you can physically handle it. In doing so, your heart rate will be elevated and allow you to burn off more calories at an express rate. Two rounds of this circuit will only take three minutes, with the option of a third round for those who are more experienced with circuit training.

While many people spend years seemingly looking for an unattainable 'secret formula' to bringing out definition in their midsection, the underlying truth of the matter is that they're simply skipping over the simple answer to their problems in their mad search to find the latest gimmick. As is often the case with fitness in general, sometimes getting back to basics is the answer you need. This type of session is effective for 4 reasons:

* By learning how to train with no equipment you unlock all kinds of new workout opportunities.

* Providing you have a shower at work, you could literally do this in the office due to the tiny amount of time it takes from beginning to end.

* High intensity is the key to increased fat loss. While many people like to do this with their cardio workouts, few people learn that they can also apply the same technique to different styles of training, such as circuits and weights.

* You'll remove the number one problem with abdominal workouts - you'll make it fun! Rather than a bunch of slow, laboring sets on gym machines you aren't really excited about, you'll have a Rocky-style challenge which pits you against you previous best attempt and demands you outscore it.

By learning the principles of how to lose weight and maintain it, then applying the principles of high intensity interval training to your fitness routine, you will indeed be able to discover how to get a six pack in 3 minutes with a core strengthening workout such as the example given to you today.
