Most folks at the gym would like to discover how to build muscle as quickly and effectively as possible. Today's post will teach you how to get a six pack in 3 minutes per day and also how to apply the same rules to build other areas of the body in double quick time.
Thanks to the discovery of HIIT, the days where people used to spend over 2 hours per day in the gym should be long gone. However, many are still stuck in that mentality. If that's you, then you are about to open a door to a whole new world of training. []
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.
At one point on another, almost every gym user has encountered a period of little progress. In most cases, this occurs because their body has simply adapted to the routine the person has been doing. If you have been training the same way and lifting the same level of resistance for the last three months, it's no wonder your muscles have adapted. They know they don't need to grow any more in order to handle the workload being put on them, because they did it all last week and the week before that.
Try to keep every single workout different from the last. Even if the changes are relatively small, you'll notice great improvements in your results.
Intensity levels are often misunderstood. No, increasing your intensity in the gym does not simply mean blasting through exercises at maximum speed. You should never sacrifice good lifting technique for anything, no matter whether it's more weight or more speed. Intensity means keeping your rest periods to a minimum, that's all.
The shock factor of hitting the body with new, unfamiliar exercises and also keeping rest times down is enough to spur new growth in even the hardest of gainers.
The following sample workout focuses on toning the midsection in as little time as possible. It is simple, but it is very intense: []
* Leg Raise
* Bicycle Crunch
* Plank
Each exercise should be done for 30 seconds, with no rest between exercises. When you reach the end of the circuit simply rest for a minute and then go again. Three rounds would take less than 10 minutes. That may seem like nothing at all, given the hours people often spend doing crunches and leg raises in the gym, but the high intensity levels here are something most people cannot cope with.
The workout above will effectively show you how to get a six pack in 3 minutes at home every day. If you were to keep doing it, however, you would simply adapt as we have already discussed. The trick lies in varying things when it become stale. You can also apply this style of training to any other muscle group, so if your goal is to learn how to build muscle in as little time as possible, then you have just discovered one of the most effective methods.
