How to Get a Six Pack in 3 Minutes

How to Get a Six pack in 3 Minutes

First Step-Be Realistic

When you want to start learning how to get a ripped six pack, you have to keep your ambitions realistic. Are you going to start looking like a body builder after just a few weeks? Is this a website about how to get a six pack in 4 weeks, or how to get a six pack in 6 weeks? No. Those goals are possible, but improbable. If you want to learn how to get a six pack in 3 minutes a night, you have to accept that it's gonna take a while.

Next Step-Make a Goal

You need to ask yourself, what is the acceptable amount of ripped-ness that I am satisfied with? How much muscle do I want to gain, and how much fat do I want to burn? When can I tell myself that I'm halfway there, almost there, or have succeeded in my goal? A goal is very important for learning how to get a good six pack, because it gives you something to focus on.

Your Workout Plans

Here's the biggest problem with learning how to get a six pack in 3 minutes: as you get stronger and your ab muscles can take more punishment, it will take you longer and longer to get a strong workout. If you want to really keep your workout down to three minutes a night, here's a good starter plan.

Figure out how many sit-ups you can do in a minute. These should be good, full sit-ups. There's no point in cheating yourself, because it's for your own workout good. Whether you can do 10 or 100 doesn't matter, you just need to measure your level of pain after that minute is up. Aim for around 60, or one per second. If you can do 60 sit-ups in 60 seconds, and you aren't feeling any pain, then you are at a more advanced level. In other blog posts, I will discuss more advanced ab workout techniques that can give you just as good a burn in 60 seconds.

For your second minute, you need to work on the oblique abs. Split the time between the left and right sides. Raise yourself up like you would for a regular sit-up, and then try to touch your right elbow to your left knee. Alternate these back and forth for a minute. Again, you should be feeling a decent burn. If you don't, you need to check out my advanced techniques section.

For the last minute, you're going to hold a crunch. Raise yourself up into a crunch position, and just..hold it. For as long as you can. If you aren't feeling any pain, continue to tighten the crunch until your abs feels the burn. Hold this for one minute.

Finally, roll over onto your stomach and push yourself up with your arms, and do a seal stretch so your upper body is off the ground and you can really stretch the abdominal muscles you just worked out on. You should feel a pleasant stretching burning sensation in your torso. These are the stretched and frayed muscle fibers of your abdominal and oblique muscles. Soon, your body will be sending new proteins to repair those muscle fibers, and they will build up a little bit. Your challenge the next day is to rip them again.

There, that's an easy 3 minute workout that should keep most of you beginners busy for some time. If you can't do it all at once, don't panic. Just do as much as you can in the time you have, every night. I like to work out right before I go to bed. Keep it up, and you'll know how to get a six pack in 3 minutes in no time at all. Good luck! See you with that six pack in a few weeks to months!
