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.
The biggest problem when it comes to training your midsection is the amount of contradicting information on the best approaches to adopt. There is not one perfect training method and a bunch of wrong ones, different things work for different people. But the sheer volume of different opinions often simply confuses people to the point of quitting because they don't know where to start.
Try telling a work friend that you're attempting to get in shape and you'll hear countless different opinions on what you should do, most of which go against what the last person told you to do. You could let that confuse you or you could simply see it for what it is. There is more than one way to get in shape, it's as simple as that.
While each exercise routine must be specific to your body, the basics of fitness remain the same for all of us.
Below, you will see a very basic yet incredibly effective abdominal workout designed to strip body fat from your body and develop stronger muscles in your core. In doing this, you will finally achieve the definition and physique you have been trying to achieve. Better still, the entire workout can be completed in as little as three minutes.
* The Mountain Climber
* Ninety Degree Crunches (knees held up at a ninety degree angle)
* 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.
So, in a world where you often hear of people doing 2500 crunches per day, why is this very short session so effective? There are four main reasons why, here they are:
* By focusing on an equipment free session you allow yourself to never skip a session due to the fact that it can be performed in any environment.
* The focus is on time, not reps. This encourages you to simply work as hard as you physically can, while keeping you under a very strict time target that enables you to fit this workout into any busy schedule.
* If fat loss is your goal the high intensity exercise is excellent. By elevating your heart rate you'll be able to work harder and faster. Plus, your metabolism will be kick-started for the next 16 hours, which means you'll burn calories at an increased level for the rest of the day following this short burst of activity.
* While most people enjoy pushing themselves with cardiovascular training or trying to beat personal best's on weights, few people have anything to strive for while hitting their midsection. There's no challenge. The challenge is what's going to push you to new results.
Three minutes may not seem like long, but it's about what you do with the time rather than how long it may be. One look at any gym will tell you this, where there have undoubtedly been folks striving to learn how to lose weight and getting nowhere fast, despite training religiously for years and doing what seems like endless cardiovascular activity. Of course, one of the main factors in learning how to get a six pack in 3 minutes is appreciating that the work can't stop the moment your session is over. You should be working on eating sensibly and looking after your body if you want to get maximum results.
