In this day and age, everybody is looking for the fastest way to do everything. We're sure you have already seen the type of adverts which claim to tell you how to get a six pack in 3 minutes and other big claims. Whether you're trying to learn how to lose weight or you want to build some muscle, fitness is one area in which people are continuously looking for a quick fix.
However, it isn't all bad news. In fact, just because every new gimmick claims to yield quick results doesn't mean that quick results are not achievable.
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.
While you could have one instructor telling you that some people just can't develop their abs and another one telling you the opposite, or a fit friend advising you that you need to eat the latest supplements while your work colleagues tell you to avoid them like the plague, the truth is there is not just one way to get fit. There is not just one correct method of working out. Even in today's health and fitness landscape, where things are becoming more scientific by the hour, lots of it still comes down to trial and error.
While each exercise routine must be specific to your body, the basics of fitness remain the same for all of us.
Due to the high intensity of today's workout routine you shouldn't be fooled into thinking you've found an easy quick fix solution. You'll earn your results, that's for sure. Three minutes may seem like nothing right now, but it is a long time when you are working at a high intensity.
* Mountain Climbers
* Crunches with knees at ninety degrees
* Plank Variation (instead of being on your forearms and wrists you'll be elevated up onto your hands in the push-up starting position)
In this workout each move is performed for 30 seconds, meaning each full round will take just a minute and a half to complete. The idea is to minimize rest, focusing on high intensity. Three minutes will allow you to complete two full laps of this circuit. If you wish to push for a third you can do so providing your current fitness level allows you to do so. Even with the addition of an extra round, the full workout is over within four and a half minutes!
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:
* Suddenly you don't need a gym to get a workout. Leaning body weight exercises is a great way to open up new opportunities for exercise and reduce the number of sessions you have to skip over the course of a year.
* By keeping the session time very low, you can literally fit this into your lunch break if you need to.
* High intensity is the key to increased fat loss. While many people like to do this with their cardio workouts, few people learn that they can also apply the same technique to different styles of training, such as circuits and weights.
* 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.
By learning the principles of how to lose weight and maintain it, then applying the principles of high intensity interval training to your fitness routine, you will indeed be able to discover how to get a six pack in 3 minutes with a core strengthening workout such as the example given to you today.
