Most of us it seems today are in a big hurry or have little time to spare. This situation means that people are looking for quick fix solutions in all areas of their lives including their fitness.
So before we go further if you are hoping that you can get a six pack in 3 minutes then you need be a little more realistic.
If your only doing 3 minutes of training every week you will not get a six pack. For the best chance of getting a six pack you really need to be training 3-6 times a week while comsuming a controlled amount of calories from healthy food choices. However if you pushed for time and have only a few minutes every day to workout then here is my advice plus a great total body workout that will burn fat and target your six pack in just 3 minutes:
1. Focus on intensity
High intensity when you are working out is key when trying to reduce body fat and reveal those six pack abs. So if you can only find a short period of time to exercise every day you must try and work at the highest level of intensity possible.
2. Proper Technique
Good technique and control of every exercise should be followed when performing your workouts.The result of doing this is that the muscles get worked much harder which means that your workouts although short are effective. If you do feel that your form is not correct or your technique is suffering then either slow down the rep tempo or reduce the weights you are using.
3. Total Body Workouts
Just performing ab exercises when you only have a short period of time to train is not the best course to take. Your goal is to really burn as many calories in the time you have available and one of best options to do this is do workouts that target the whole body. Resistance training performed at high intensity is a fantastic way of burning fat and giving your whole body including abs a hard workout. If your not sure about this try this workout and see how you feel after only 3 minutes:
1 Kettlebell/Dumbbell 2 handed Swings - 1 minute
2. Press up with mountain Climber – 1 minute
3. Dumbbell Squat to overhead press – 1 minute
Perform as a continuous circuit with no rest between each exercise.
I guarantee this workout will get your heart racing and leave you gasping for breath plus it is working your abs and every other muscle for the whole 3 minutes.
As long as you approach your workouts with these factors in mind, you will give your entire body and core a great workout in just 3 minutes and start burning tons of calories.. If you hit the point when you can perform a workout like this a maximum intensity then its time to either change the routine or start adding weight.
A six pack in three minutes is not impossible but for faster better results you really should be working out between 15-30 minutes every time. Finally always keep in mind that without the correct diet all you hard work in getting a six pack will be in vain.
