The 30-Minute Abs Workout Program: Fight Off Excess Body Fat
IF YOU REALLY wanted shredded abs, chances are you’ve heard a number of conflicting “facts” about getting your midsection to show.
Forget the idea that you only need to know crunches and other front abs exercises—that’s not going to work if you want to effectively lose body fat. Likewise, training your abs every single dayis a bad idea, and could in fact be extremely detrimental to your health. By following our three-days-a-week plan, you’ll work out your abs without overtraining yourself.
And, as always, it’s important to keep burning fat if you want your abs to show. No amount of muscle-sculpting will show up if your body-fat percentage isn’t fairly low, so make sure you focus on eating healthy—abs are made in the kitchen, as they say.
Directions:
Perform the exercises as straight sets, completing all the prescribed sets for an exercise before moving on to the next one.
Use the heaviest weight that allows you to complete all the prescribed repetitions for each set.
