Today I have a cool post for you from my buddy and Clark Kent look alike, Dennis Heenan. He has a surprise 8 min ab workout you can try…<\/p>\n
Enjoy it!<\/p>\n

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?<\/p>\n
Think about that\u2026 Just crazy, right?<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
This means the layer of fat around your waste will continue to sit there\u2026 Unless you start doing exercises that your body thrives on.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
You do this by incorporating what I call Direct Hybrid Focus (DHF). These are exercises that focus on four main aspects:<\/p>\n
\u2022 They hit multiple muscles at once
\n\u2022 Increase your heart rate
\n\u2022 Challenge your metabolism
\n\u2022 Directly work your core<\/p>\n
Let me give you an example\u2026 Lets say you were to do a Burpee. Think about what happens in this exercise\u2026<\/p>\n
Are you working multiple muscles at once? Yes. 639 muscles in fact.
\nAre you increasing your heart rate? Yes, drastically.
\nAre you challenging your metabolism? Absolutely.
\nAre you directly working your core? Yup, in fact you are!<\/p>\n
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\u2019s actually fully engaged throughout the entire exercise but those are the main two spots)<\/p>\n
Now of course, this is just one exercise example. What\u2019s 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:<\/p>\n
