How Many Sit Ups Do You Need To Do To Get A Six Pack?

By Howe Russ


One of the biggest myths in fitness is that you must do thousands of crunches to define your midsection. Today you'll see how to get a six pack in 3 minutes without a gym or the need for a personal trainer. In fact, you'll use nothing more than a stop watch and your own body weight. We'll also look at some of the most common mistakes people make when training their midsection.

There are so many areas of confusion in the fitness industry that most people are simply lost in a sea of misinformation and don't know what to do.

Many people spend over half an hour every single day performing rep after rep on the Ab Crunch machine following their workout. Others believe that the best approach to getting a toned midsection is doing over 1000 or 2000 sit-ups every day. Today we'll show you a time-tested, science approved method for achieving great results within a fraction of the time. []

Of course, you may have also heard the expression that abs are built in the kitchen. This is true, so if you want to get maximum results with today's guide you'll need to watch your eating habits and ensure you are following a healthy, balanced diet each day.

With so much confusion surrounding exactly which exercises work best and how many repetitions are necessary, most people are just lost when it comes to training their stomach. In actual fact, there isn't one definitive exercise which defeats all others and the best way to hit all areas of your midsection is to perform two or three different moves which target all the main sections. For example:

1) Lower Stomach - Knee Raises.

2) Upper Stomach - Elbow To Knee Crunches.

3) Overall Core - Elevated Plank.

Contrary to popular belief, you do not need to perform thousands of repetitions to see good development in muscular tone. These are small muscles and don't need to be trained extensively. If your exercises are well balanced, such as the ones above, you can turn them into a circuit workout which can be performed anywhere, anytime.

Try performing each exercise for 30 seconds without rest. When you reach the end of the circuit, simply rest for 60 seconds and then go again. If you can do three rounds of this circuit without stopping then this will not only improve the development of your abs, it will also help you to burn lots of unwanted body fat at the same time.

Thanks to the high intensity nature of circuit training, your body will burn fat more fat while you concentrate on hitting your midsection and developing the muscles of your core.

Usually, people believe you can learn how to get a six pack in 3 minutes by taking a miracle pill or having an operation. The truth is, however, you can achieve great results in very little time if you learn the basics of how to structure a good workout plan. You don't need a personal trainer and you don't even need gym equipment.
