Since the beginning of the fitness industry there have always been people looking to get instant results. While it might seem that everybody today is looking to learn how to lose weight instantly via the next big thing, the industry has always been this way and not much has actually changed. It's commonplace nowadays to hear people claiming that you can discover how to get a six pack in 3 minutes or pack on an inch to your biceps in two weeks by following a certain type of plan.
Fortunately, there are some good ways to achieve quick results.
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.
That is, until you get down to the basics, which is what we are going to do with you today.
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.
* Body Weight 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.
* You'll be able to perform this with a very high level of intensity. Again, this is due to the fact that it's over in just a few short moments. High intensity training is proven to far advance regular training when it comes to blasting unwanted body fat and sculpting lean muscle tissue.
* 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.
