If you've used HIIT instead of regular cardiovascular exercise before, you'll know it has many more fat loss and muscle building benefits. Yet, for some reason, those who want to know how to build muscle often overlook the possibility of incorporating HIIT into their resistance routines. Can it be used to speed up results? You can use it to increase cardio results by up to 5 times, so can you learn how to get a six pack in 3 minutes per day? Today your questions will be answered.
Gone are the days when people need to spend hours working out in the gym after a long, busy day at the office. Nowadays you can get great results in as little as half an hour. []
The levels of variety and intensity are the two most important factors within any solid training program. Variety simply means challenging the body in ways it's not used to. You could simply swap low reps for high reps, or perform exercises in a different order than usual.
Most gym users hit a plateau due to a lack of variety within their program. This comes from doing a program that works initially and provides good results, causing the gym user to want to stick to it, only to find that results begin to slow down over time. It doesn't mean you are no longer working hard in the gym, it simply means your body has adapted to your program, it knows what to expect.
You don't need to completely overhaul a program which may have worked well for you in the past. Simply throw in a few curve balls, try to keep every workout slightly different. Keep the body guessing and you'll keep it improving.
A lot of people misunderstand the meaning of the word intensity. They often presume it means working out really quickly, sacrificing form and technique for speed. This is not the case. Intensity means keeping your heart rate elevated. There are numerous fat loss benefits to doing this, as well as other benefits too. Your actual exercise is still performed slowly and controlled throughout, getting the absolute most out of each contraction you do. Intensity comes into play when you drop the weights at the end of each set. Rather than sitting there talking to other gym users while you wait for your next set to begin, watch the clock. After just thirty seconds, begin the next set.
The two main reasons fitness enthusiasts hit plateaus are a lack of intensity and variety. If you can get one, or even both, in check then you will notice a new batch of results in next to no time.
The following sample workout focuses on toning the midsection in as little time as possible. It is simple, but it is very intense: []
* Crunch
* Mountain Climber
* Plank
It might look easy on paper, but it is not to be underestimated. Try moving from exercise-to-exercise with 30 seconds on each movement and no rest at all. Take a 60 second breather at the end of the circuit and then start over. Two rounds would only take 3 minutes, but it will really test your fitness levels.
It is true that the simple session above can effectively help you to learn how to get a six pack in 3 minutes or slightly longer. The important thing to remember after you have tried it, of course, is that you can also apply this method to training any body part you wish. Incorporate it into your next chest workout and watch how much more difficult it becomes. The key to learning how to build muscle on a regular basis lies in your ability to adapt and configure your training to suit your goals.
