Six Pack Abs Routine – Try This To Get Six Pack Abs Quick!

If you’re looking for a good six pack abs routine, then you’ve landed on the right website!

Why?

Because I’m going to show you in this article how to get six pack abs quick… simply by adding a little “extra” something to crank your metabolism and fat burning into overdrive while you work your abs.

First let’s recap, what you need to do to get a six pack:

• Burn Fat: You need to be at least 10% body fat to start seeing abs, for really razor sharp ones, you need to be around 8% (this is for men)…
• Need Muscle: If you’re “skinny fat” you need to gain a little muscle, and if you’re just plain fat, then while you’re burning fat you need to build some muscle so you end up looking “ripped” instead of “skinny fat”…
• Decent Abs: Funny I put this one at the end huh? But I know lots of guys with a great six pack, who hardly ever work their abs… it’s mostly getting really lean…

So the rest of this article will show you a unique “twist” to achieve those goals above, so you get your six pack abs in no time!

First, The Six Pack Abs Routine

This is actually the easy part. Every time you pick up a new fitness magazine, there’s a routine for your abs. Showing you a bunch of cool new ab exercises. We’ll keep it simple.

We’ll work in a circuit fashion, meaning you go from exercise 1 to exercise 2, and so on without resting. This is one set. Then you take a short break and repeat the routine for your next set. Here’s the circuit:

• V-Situps: laying on your back with your arms outstretched overhead. Keep your legs and arms straight and using your core, make them touch each other. If you’re doing it right, you’ll pick your legs, things, lower back, back, arms, head and shoulders off the floor at the same time and the only thing on the ground will be your butt. You’ll look like a “V-shape” (hence the name!) with your butt on the ground and hands touching your feet. 10-15 reps.
• Reverse Crunch: Lying down on the ground, back flat, shoulders down and hands behind head (you might have to anchor them with a medicine ball or something). Knees bent, raise them slowly to 90 degrees over your waist. Using the lower abs primarily. And making sure to keep your back on the floor flat. (If this is too easy, you can put some weight on your feet with a light dumbbell or something, remember though, keep your back flat). 10-15 Reps.
• Yoga Side Bend -- hold for a minute.
• Plank (on or off a swiss ball) – hold for a minute.

So that seems like a decent little six pack ab routine right? We’re not done yet though…

Next, The “Secret” Sauce!

Like I said, we want to crank up the fat burning to the maximum to really get those abs to shine through. The key here is a couple of things:

• Create an oxygen debt — meaning you’re huffing and puffing — no light jogging allowed!
• Get some lactic acid burning which helps get some growth hormone circulating — which is a powerful fat burning hormone…
• Use the largest muscles in your body to get the most overall metabolic response…

How do we do that with just an ab routine when the abs are so small it’s hard to get out of breath working them? EXACTLY!

We add the secret sauce in between reps — Bodyweight Squats!

So in between each exercise of the above circuit you’re going to crank out a set number of bodyweight squats to get your heart rate up, get that lactic acid burning and keep it there! So you’re basically supersetting each set of squats with an ab exercise. For example:

• Bodyweight Squats - 20 – 50 reps as fast as possible with good form — you WANT to get out of breath and feel your legs and lungs burning!
• V-Situps: laying on your back with your arms outstretched overhead. Keep your legs and arms straight and using your core, make them touch each other. If you’re doing it right, you’ll pick your legs, things, lower back, back, arms, head and shoulders off the floor at the same time and the only thing on the ground will be your butt. You’ll look like a “V-shape” (hence the name!) with your butt on the ground and hands touching your feet. 10-15 reps.
• Bodyweight Squats - 20 – 50 reps as fast as possible with good form
• Reverse Crunch: Lying down on the ground, back flat, shoulders down and hands behind head (you might have to anchor them with a medicine ball or something). Knees bent, raise them slowly to 90 degrees over your waist. Using the lower abs primarily. And making sure to keep your back on the floor flat. (If this is too easy, you can put some weight on your feet with a light dumbbell or something, remember though, keep your back flat). 10-15 Reps.
• Bodyweight Squats – 20 – 50 reps as fast as possible with good form
• Yoga Side Bend – hold for a minute.
• Bodyweight Squats – 20 – 50 reps as fast as possible with good form
• Plank (on or off a swiss ball) – hold for a minute.
• Bodyweight Squats - 20 – 50 reps as fast as possible with good form

Why Does It Work So Well?

A bunch of reasons:

1. The overall workload is high, so more stimulus equals more fat burning response from your body…
2. You’re working your legs a lot with the bodyweight squats, one of your largest muscle groups, so more hormone response, more fat burning, more muscle stimulation…
3. You’re keeping your heart rate up for fat burning…
4. You’re getting a lot of lactic acid buildup in your legs and abs from the high reps and little rest…

The first time you do this, you may only make it through the circuit once. That’s ok, you should recover in a couple days (more — if you’ve never done a lot of bodyweight squats — you’ll be sore!).

But each week try to add another circuit till you’re doing 3 sets of this circuit. Then you’ll be cranking! And feel free to change up the ab exercises for variety — but always keep the bodyweight squats in between each set of ab exercises to keep the body in “fat torching mode”!

So there ya go, if you want a six pack abs routine to get you six pack abs quick — then have fun doing this one.
