How To Tear Up Your Midsection And Get Leaner

By Russ Howe


If you spend hours scouring the web for tips on how to get abs or how to lose weight, today you are going to learn the simple strategies which most individuals in gyms around the world are totally overlooking.

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

1. The abs are three separate muscles, you must hit each rather than just one.

2. Don't overtrain your midsection.

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.

Crunches won't hit your lower abs or your obliques. This is why even those in decent shape often only have the top two muscles clearly visible on their stomach.

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

1. Crunches on a swiss ball x 20

2. Leg raise x 20

3. Knee-touch-crunches x 20

Perform each exercise straight after the last, as a circuit, without any rest. After you have reached the end of the third exercise you should rest for around two minutes before beginning again. See if you can achieve 5 rounds of this.

Not only will this hit every single muscle within your abs, it will also kick-start fat burning to a whole new level due to the very high intensity of the session.

It is very easy to get caught up in bland, boring workouts for muscles which do not provide the same ego-boosting stimulus as biceps, chest and shoulders. This is why many men neglect training their legs and do very dull midsection workouts, but the fact is any muscle needs a reason to develop. If you keep hitting it with a boring, easy workout then it won't force itself to change.

Should you train abs with weight? This is another question which is often asked by those looking to take their ab development to the next level. However, there are probably several people reading this who will have difficulty making it through today's body weight workout, given the fact that a lot of people take it easy on their quest to learn how to get abs in the gym. However, by hitting all three key areas of your midsection with three of the biggest, most scientifically proven exercises, you can not fail but to aid your development.
