Six Pack Abs Exercises Made Easy

By Jose Loni

To get six pack abs quickly, we need to follow some basic principles. By eating a proper diet, resistance training, and increasing our metabolism, we can achieve fast results to get six pack abs.

When training for six pack abs, we need to do general body, overall body fat burning. When we are able to efficiently train our bodies to do that, our six-pack abs will become visible.

The following exercises are easy six-pack ab training methods that will increase overall strength as well as develop the abdominal core.

Warm-up: light to medium activity to increase blood flow throughout the body for 5-10 minutes. Then do some light stretching to help keep the muscles flexible and ready for movement.

Exercises: We will emphasize multi-joint exercises like squats, lunges, chin-ups, rows, split-squats, deadlifts, and step-ups. The sets will be 3 sets of 8 repetitions for each exercise. Utilizing stability sit-ups and bridging can be incorporated into the exercise program, which will help tone and strengthen the muscles of the core and also give variation to training.

Post exercise: Do a proper cool down and stretch the muscles trained during the exercise session.

The increased lean body mass that we gain as a result of resistance training directly contributes to the increased metabolism of the body. The increased metabolism causes the body to burn fat as fuel not only during exercise but several hours afterward as well. When our metabolic system has been increased, our six-pack abs will be more visible and results will come quickly.

To get six pack abs quickly, we just need to understand and follow the basic physiological principles of diet, resistance training and increasing our metabolism. When we achieve those, we can definitely get our six-pack abs quicker. - 15438
