Six Pack Workout

In order to get the six pack abs you’ve always wanted, here is a short six pack workout that should only take you 15 minutes. The first step includes a 5 minute warm up that contains either jogging on the spot, walking, or even skipping. When you feel your body temperature rise, a passive stretch for the muscles that feel the tightest on your body are strongly recommended.

The goals of the workout are:

Step One. Carry out exercise #1 – Leg Raise, for thirty seconds.

Step Two. Instantly after the Leg Raise execute Exercise #2 – The Plank for 30 seconds.

Step Three. After completing exercise 2, rest for thirty seconds before repeating these first three steps again.

Complete steps 1 to 3 ten times and it would equal a simple 15-minute workout.

Step 1: Leg Raise

In order to do the leg raises correctly you must first lie down on your back with both feet flat while your knees are bent. When in this position, you should have your pelvis on top of a rolled up towel or on your fingers. If you decide to use a towel it should be the same thickness of your hand. The position should be straight at the belly button level flat against the floor.

In this position both legs are being raised and lowered with your back stable against the floor while keeping pressure on your fingers or the towel. Throughout the thirty seconds of work your knees should remain bent and the angle of your knees should remain constant.

As you build abdominal muscle, the core of your body will become stronger when you open the angle of your knees which will increase the strain on the lower abdominal muscles.

Step 2: The Plank

The plank is best done lying face down on the floor with your feet together, your forearms on the ground, and your hands clenched into a fist. Bring the abs inward towards your spine and squeeze your buttocks muscles. Next your body should be lifted off the ground while maintaining a straight line from head to toe, resting on only your forearms and toes. Your forearms should remain parallel and your elbows should remain directly below your shoulders.

Good form is maintained when your back is flat and your chin is tucked throughout the entire 30 seconds while slowly returning to the ground for a 30 second rest.

In today’s world people try to find quick solutions for instant results. The people trying to use these solutions are wasting there time and money since there is no quick fix for the results that you want. Other people follow the latest fad diets while starving their body of the essential nutrients that they need, which will cause them to be unhealthy and unaware to the damage they are doing to their bodies.
