The Six Pack Abs Exercise ProgramOK, now it's time to start your six pack abs exercise program & get some cut abs. So, um, get over to the gym and start working out... But there's a little more to it than just working out. Ab exercises are a must, of course, but you need the right ones as well as other regular, big lifts to burn calories & get the rest of you well muscled!
You have have your ab exercises, regular lifts, and cardio. All three of these create the six pack abs exercise program. The ab exercises make your abs bigger and stand out more. The big, multi-joint lifts burn lots of calores and make you body look more ripped overall. And the cardio burns fat off so EVERYBODY can see those abs. The big lifts in this workout make your body do a lot of work & exert itself more than just isolation exercises. So, you burn more calories by doing, say, the clean and press than by doing wimpy leg extensions. Bigger exercise = more total body effort. Also, this workout is relatively short and meant to be done in 45 to 60 minutes. This is the amount of time it takes for testosterone production to peak, and keeps your workouts short and intense. I don't like spending my whole day at the gym, and I'm guessing you don't either. You want something efficient that takes the least amount of time, for the best possible results.
Before you start lifting do 3-5 minutes of running on a treadmill, or some other cardio exercise to warm your body up. This will keep you from getting hurt and ease you into the workout. And at the end, set aside some time for stretching. Stretching your muscles when they are warm after a workout is when they are most pliable and you get the most stretch. Stretching before a workout actually decreases the amount of strength you can exert in your exercises. So, use stretching as a cool-down after your exercises.  So, download this workout and try it! Keep track of your progress, and take photos of yourself so you know how much weight you've dropped after just a month of lifting. After a few months, you'll show amazing results! As always when starting a new workout regime, start out slow. A little time of being inefficient and being a tortoise is worth it to not get injured. Trust me ;-) And remember, to give the weight lifting in the six pack abs exercise program the edge to show off your abs, eat a good diet and do the cardio. They work together to create your six pack abs.
