Six Pack ExercisesKeeping You Up to Date with the Hottest Six Pack Exercises

What does your six pack workout consist of? If you’re still trying to spot reduce by doing nothing but hundreds of weak crunches in poor form, you should slap yourself twice. The first one is for wasting large amounts of time with the wrong six pack workout strategy. The second is for not paying attention to the fact that you can’t spot reduce.

I’ve said it a thousand times, so there’s no harm in saying it a thousand and one; you need high resistance and low reps in your six pack workout. The goal is to build muscle. All that is achieved from large numbers of crunches is a shift in the composition of the twitch fibers in the muscles from fast to slow. So unless you’re training to have the endurance to hit the snooze alarm 5,000 times every morning, you’re running east looking for a sunset. Plop some weights on your chest or grab them behind your head and do your crunches. If you can do over 20 reps, add more weight. If you want to do hundreds of crunches in that manner in way of multiple sets, be my guest, but in that range you should be able to achieve a good sore from just a few sets.

The body doesn’t refuse to spot reduce because it hates you, it’s a self-defense mechanism. If you had a lot of weight up top and toothpick legs they would snap or give way. I don’t care how much you hate to hear it, if you’re overweight and want a six pack there’s no way around it, you have to do cardio of some sort; you have to sweat. You can take it from me now and start trying to get the body you want, or you can bounce from diet to diet, program to program, wasting time and money on something you could have already had today if you took action. The only question you need to ask yourself is how important is it to you? If it’s not important enough to take that action, then you’re just wasting your time learning. Find a six pack workout today and stick to it. Not after this party, after the holidays, not for next years “new years resolution” that you’ll not only put off starting for a week after the new year, but break it a week and a day after. In the words of Muhammad Ali, “I hated every minute of training, but I said, ‘Don’t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.’”

If you really have limited knowledge of the body, or you need someone to hold your hand, that’s a different story. Feel free to bounce around my blog posts or get an amazing six pack workout from our friends at truth about abs.
