The High Intensity Approach To Getting Ripped Abs

By Russ Howe


If there is one mistake that most gym lovers make, it is spending too long looking for an over complicated answer explaining how to get abs, when in fact the truth is a lot easier to digest. There are three major mistakes generally made here.

If you have ambitions of achieving a solid six pack, you need to cover these three bases first:

1. Hit all the muscles in your midsection properly.

2. Ignore those who over-train their abs, this leads nowhere.

3. Contract the muscle as you perform each exercise, otherwise it isn't working.

It is surprising how many individuals cannot tick all three of the boxes above. In fact, the first one throws an awful lot of people a curve ball. If you were to ask a thousand gym members which abs exercises they did as part of their routine, you would probably hear the same answers again and again. Crunches, sit ups, weighted crunches, and so on. But they are neglecting several key areas of their midsection with this approach.

By constantly hitting the upper abs, you end up with a very unbalanced six pack, one which clearly displays definition up top but visibly fades away after the first two muscles and displays no obliques at all.

If you want to get an appealing, well developed abdominal area then try today's full workout:

1. Crunches with feet on an exercise ball x 20

2. Leg raise with swiss ball held between your ankles x 20

3. Straight-leg crunches x 20

You will really feel this one more if you perform it as a circuit, going from one exercise to the next without stopping for rest. Try to get through 3-4 rounds as quickly as you can, while focusing on feeling the contraction in the target area on every single rep you perform.
Today\'s workout teaches you how to get abs in minimal time with this brutal circuit.


Intensity is key to the success of your workouts. Training your midsection is no different here, so keep the intensity level turned up to achieve superior fat loss results.

The main problem faced by a lot of men in the gym is that they simply find hitting their stomach muscles very boring. If they're honest with themselves, they'd rather be standing in front of the mirror doing biceps curls and military presses. However, providing any muscle group with a lackluster workout will result in half baked results.

If you get your training intensity sorted out, you can get fantastic results in a very short space of time. Should you train abs with weight? This is not really necessary, providing you can keep your intensity level high. Today's body weight circuit teaches you how to get abs with no fitness equipment and those who apply the techniques will see results from it.
