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

Everyone wants a six pack these days, and that’s understandable. It is a symbol of power and sex appeal, but are you willing to sweat to achieve that goal? If you are, I’ll give you a six pack workout that will peel away that obtrusive fat and carve out muscles of iron across your midsection.

Before we begin, I’m going to give you some tips that can increase the efficiency of your workout by over 300% (actually, I have no idea about the metrics, but it makes a huge difference and numbers give credibility…just do it). The best six pack workouts are done at anaerobic threshold. Your heart should be pounding out of your chest and you should be gasping for air, but push yourself as hard as you can for as long as you can. Take very short breaks and get right back to it. This strips away fat, as it is high-intensity work, and after any anaerobic work there is Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption (EPOC), which causes a metabolic bump or what I like to call an afterburn. This sort of exercise also helps create a more anabolic environment. In time it will make it so you can workout for longer periods of time at the same intensity. If you’re interested in the jargon it is also called an increase in the intramuscular buffering capacity. This six pack workout is done in the same style as sprinting-you go all until you need to stop, take a short rest, and then do it again.

Do each exercise and immediately go to the next. Your aim is for about 20 reps (or however many you can do in one set) of each exercise before moving on and 3 revolutions of the entire workout. The only weighted exercise will be for the abs as that’s the only place you’re looking to build muscle, the rest are chosen for no reason other than that they are highly metabolically demanding. Do everything explosively on the concentric phase and take at least twice as long on the eccentric phase. Feel free to substitute, add, or rearrange exercises if you feel they work better for you. Enjoy.

1. Pushups [for advanced variation, push off the floor and clap before you land(don’t lock elbows for landing)]
2. Mountain-Climbers
3. Burpees
4. Dragonflies (if you can’t do these, don’t feel bad, they are insane)
5. Weighted Crunches (weight on chest or behind head)
6. Airbikes
7. Lying Side Oblique Crunches
8. Pull-ups (You wouldn’t hate me if I didn’t throw these in)
9. Shoulder Pushups
10. Prisoner Squats
