Six Pack Abs Exercises Made Easy

By Jose Loni

Six Pack Abs are easy to attain with easy exercises. Understanding how we can achieve six pack abs is important so that we can plan the proper exercises, and get quicker results. Six pack abs can be accomplished by training smart.

To have the appearance of six-pack abs, we need to focus on exercises that lower our overall body fat, so our six-pack abs will become more visible.

Our diet is an important key to getting six pack abs quickly. We must eat properly and frequently throughout the day to help maintain our energy level for our daily activities. So that our blood sugar does not spike up and down too frequently.

Warm up: we should start with an activity that is of light to medium intensity for 5-10 minutes, followed by some light stretching of the muscles involved in the exercise. We want to make sure that our muscles are flexible and ready for the activity.

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: We want to emphasize proper cool down and stretching to make sure we maintain our flexibility and movement of the areas trained.

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.

These exercises are easy guides that will help you achieve six-pack abs. Exercising correctly and efficiently will help our body to burn the fat and give you the six pack abs that you have been wanting. - 15266
