How To Get A Six Pack In 3 Minutes

By Howe Russ


Since the beginning of the fitness industry there have always been people looking to get instant results. While it might seem that everybody today is looking to learn how to lose weight instantly via the next big thing, the industry has always been this way and not much has actually changed. It's commonplace nowadays to hear people claiming that you can discover how to get a six pack in 3 minutes or pack on an inch to your biceps in two weeks by following a certain type of plan.

That's not to say you cannot achieve fast results, though.
See how to get a six pack in 3 minutes with today\'s quick workout.


The midsection is an area of the body which is subject to so many different opinions and training styles that many fitness enthusiasts simply don't have a clue where to start. With so many different so-called experts telling you contrasting things it can become hard to focus.

If you have a friend telling you about a training method they have got results with but then another friend warning you that they tried the same thing and got nowhere fast, it's easy to discourage yourself. Good old trial and error still plays a major role in finding the perfect fitness plan for an individual.

While each exercise routine must be specific to your body, the basics of fitness remain the same for all of us.

The three movements in this workout are designed to not only strengthen your abs but also toughen the areas around it. By strengthening the muscles around your stomach you will notice that results come far easier. This workout only takes three minutes, but you'll earn your results.

* Body Weight Mountain Climber

* Ninety Degree Crunches (knees held up at a ninety degree angle)

* Advanced Plank

Your task is to work through each move for thirty seconds before switching to the next exercise in the routine. The results here come not only from the fact that each exercise is proven, but also from the high intensity you're working at. Intensity is key, so try to make the transitional period between each exercise the only rest you allow yourself to take. Two rounds will take you 3 minutes. If you can handle it, you can increase the workout to five minutes by adding in an optional third round.

So, in a world where you often hear of people doing 2500 crunches per day, why is this very short session so effective? There are four main reasons why, here they are:

* By learning how to train with no equipment you unlock all kinds of new workout opportunities.

* Providing you have a shower at work, you could literally do this in the office due to the tiny amount of time it takes from beginning to end.

* If fat loss is your goal the high intensity exercise is excellent. By elevating your heart rate you'll be able to work harder and faster. Plus, your metabolism will be kick-started for the next 16 hours, which means you'll burn calories at an increased level for the rest of the day following this short burst of activity.

* One big area of failure with abdominal training is boredom. It's dull doing sit-up after sit-up. In order to get results from anything in life you need to enjoy what you are doing in the first place.

If you've been lost with your fitness, don't worry because you're not alone. It would be quite safe to wage a bet that most people in your local gym don't really know how to lose weight despite training regularly for years, such is the confusion regarding health and fitness. Providing you combine this information with a sensible diet, learning how to get a six pack in 3 minutes doesn't seem impossible.
