“What’s the best exercise for a six-pack??” … a question which is most asked by gym-goers…
The answer isn’t sit ups, reverse crunches or sit ups on an exercise ball. The rectus abdominas muscle is narrow and flat, and if you’re doing resistance training with good form and posture, from squats and deadlifts to pull ups, then you are already sufficiently recruiting your abs.
To achieve this, we need to burn away the bodyfat so that those abs are really visible…. after reading up on this, I found that a fast way to do this is Tabata intervals…they are simple but not easy and are best done on an exercise bike.
Here’s The Workout…
Begin with a 2- minute easy pedal warm-up. Then spend 4 minutes alternating between 20 seconds flat- out pedalling on a resonably high resistance (where 100-115 revolutions per minute is very tough but manageable) and 10 second easy recovery on a lower resistance. Perform the Plank for 60 seconds- maintain good posture throughout- dont let that lower back slump. Finish with 3 minutes of easy pedalling.
Try it! See what you think!
