Six Pack Workout
So you go to the grocery store and there they are. The ab models. They’re on the front cover of every fitness mag. They got the obligatory smug look on their face as they proudly display chiseled abs that look like they were carved by Michelangelo. Underneath the pic is the catchy subtitle saying something like: “Get Rock Hard Abs In Time for Summer”. So you buy the mag imagining all the while being at the beach with your shirt off and all the admiring looks. But when you look at the six pack workout they are promoting, it is this complicated regimen of upper ab exercises, lower ab exercises, leg lifts, ect. The routine takes about half an hour. But you follow it religiously because you want those admiring looks at the beach. But after a month, your abs still resemble those on Winnie the Pooh. The purpose of this article is to debunk some of the six pack workout myths and put you on the right track to putting a smug look on your own face while you show off your own ripped abs. And don’t miss the big secret at the end.
First of all, when you see a defined abdomen, you get the impression that it is made up of several different muscles. There are upper abs, lower abs, in- between abs and they all require different exercises for each group. But in reality, the abs clinically known as the “Rectus Abdominis” is simply one muscle. And that one muscle performs the same single action that all muscles do. It contracts. You can’t work out half of any muscle. You work out all of it or none of it. So forget all about the idea of working out different segments of your stomach muscle. It’s just a waste of time. The most effective six pack workout really only requires one simple action.
So what is the best single action for the proper six pack workout? Well, it’s not leg lifts or knee raises. All these exercises do is work the stabilizing function of the abs. Your ab muscle resists the strain on your back from the hip flexors as you raise your legs or knees. This action feels like it is working your abs well because the lactic acid that builds up under the strain produces a burning sensation. But this exercise only fatigues the muscle, it doesn’t build or strengthen it.
The most affective six pack workout is one that contracts the muscle. The most effective exercise that accomplishes this goal is a modified version of the old fashioned sit up known as “crunches” . What makes sit ups obsolete is the fact that your abdominal muscle is fully contracted when your shoulders are five to six inches off the floor. Going further up than this does nothing for you. So the most time-saving, effective exercise you can do is crunches that only raise your upper body five to six inches off the ground.
But now for the big secret . . .
Doing crunches consistently will definitely get make your stomach muscle hard and bumpy. But those abs will never be seen if they are covered by a layer of fat. And you can keep doing your six pack workout until the end of time and not get rid of it, despite what the ab-gadget commercials say. You have to burn off that fat with a combination of cardio and even more importantly, eating the right foods. No one that I know of has put together a more comprehensive cardio and diet regimen than Tom Venuto.
