Six Pack Abs With Interval Training

When most people exercise, they keep the same pace throughout their exercises. Interval training is exercises that switch pace instead of the same pace all the time. Interval training can greatly increase the metabolism therefore increasing the fat burning process.

If you begin exercise training with a warm up exercise, you will generally continue in this manner through the entire set of exercises. If you do exercises at intervals, such as running at a normal pace and then speeding up your running exercise to a much more intense running exercise, you are increasing your metabolism and burning more fat.

You can do the same thing with abdominal exercises. Let’s take the mountain climbers exercise; begin in a push-up position. Only your hand and toes should be touching the floor. Bring one knee up as close to the chest as you can. Reposition your foot to its original position and switch legs. This will be done at a quick pace but not fast. Perhaps a jogging pace would be a good pace to start. Continue in this manner for about 2 minutes then pick up your pace to a running pace. This pace should only be done for about 40 seconds and then you should resume your normal pace for one minute. Repeat the faster pace and then the slow down.

If you choose crunches, the same method can be added to your crunch exercise. A bench crunch should be done on a weight bench. You should make sure the feet are lower than the heat and begin in a lying position. Place your hands on the poles that hold the weights up. Do not pull with your hands, this is only for balancing purposes. Now, one leg at a time, bring the knee up close to the chest and allow it to return to its original position. Switch legs and continue rotating legs for approximately 2 minutes. After 2 minutes, speed up your crunches for about 40 seconds and then return to your regular pace for 1 minute. Continue in this manner by speeding up for 40 seconds and returning to normal for 1 minute for approximately 5 – 8 minutes. Rest approximately 3 minutes and continue. Do at least 2 sets with a 3 minute rest period between each set.

Interval training in this manner can help burn fat and build your 6 pack abs fast. Your body does not get bored with the same exercise routine or the same pace you have set for yourself. Switching up your exercise pace is great for the cardio exercises. It allows your body to have a slight break before the up-paced exercises by doing the exercises slow without stopping the exercise altogether.

While doing your interval training, don’t neglect your diet regimen either. You should make sure you eat the foods that helps build your muscles and assist your body in ridding itself of fat. You should also make sure you drink plenty of water to replenish the vital fluids you may lose during exercise training. Also vitamin and mineral supplements should be considered in order to make sure your body is getting the vitamins and minerals it may not be getting from your diet.
