1 Unique Ab Training Technique
By: Dennis Heenan
Did you know that studies have shown that you would need to do more than 15,000 sit-ups to burn ONE single pound of fat?
Think about that… Just crazy, right?
The problem with the majority of ab exercises is that they do not allow your body to burn enough energy. In others words, if the exercises you are doing are not intense enough, you will not be able to burn fat at the rate you want.
This means the layer of fat around your waste will continue to sit there… Unless you start doing exercises that your body thrives on.
Now, you can make a simple switch in your workouts that not only allows your body to burn fat, but will also build and sculpt your abs.
You do this by incorporating what I call Direct Hybrid Focus (DHF). These are exercises that focus on four main aspects:
• They hit multiple muscles at once
• Increase your heart rate
• Challenge your metabolism
• Directly work your core
Let me give you an example… Lets say you were to do a Burpee. Think about what happens in this exercise…
Are you working multiple muscles at once? Yes. 639 muscles in fact.
Are you increasing your heart rate? Yes, drastically.
Are you challenging your metabolism? Absolutely.
Are you directly working your core? Yup, in fact you are!
You may not think you are directly hitting your core, but each time you make the jump back into the pushup position and jump forward before doing the squat jump, your core is fully engaged. (it’s actually fully engaged throughout the entire exercise but those are the main two spots)
Now of course, this is just one exercise example. What’s even better is that you can also take these same principles and combine them into a full workout like the one below. Take a look:
Workout Description:
Perform 30 seconds on each exercise below with a 5 second transition period. Repeat 2 rounds. After the second round, rest up to 60 seconds and repeat another 2 full rounds.
-Reverse Lunge Jump or Reverse Lunges: 30 seconds on each side
-Ab Wheel Rollout or Hand Walkout: 30 seconds
-Pushup Outside Mountain Climber Combo: 30 seconds
Go through 2 rounds. Rest up to 60 seconds then repeat 2 more rounds.
As you can see, we are again hitting all the key aspects on our list when looking to get an incredibly strong and lean midsection.
It’s workouts and exercises like these that allow your body and abs to “build and burn” at the same time which is the perfect combination when training to get a ripped set of abs.
