How To Tear Up Your Midsection And Get Leaner

By Russ Howe


If there is one mistake that most gym lovers make, it is spending too long looking for an over complicated answer explaining how to get abs, when in fact the truth is a lot easier to digest. There are three major mistakes generally made here.

These three fundamental rules must play a part in your routine if you are going to achieve the attention-grabbing midsection you hope for:

1. Hit all the muscles in your midsection properly.

2. Ignore those who over-train their abs, this leads nowhere.

3. Contract the muscle in the same way you would squeeze your biceps at the top of a curl. Feel it.

It is surprising how many individuals cannot tick all three of the boxes above. In fact, the first one throws an awful lot of people a curve ball. If you were to ask a thousand gym members which abs exercises they did as part of their routine, you would probably hear the same answers again and again. Crunches, sit ups, weighted crunches, and so on. But they are neglecting several key areas of their midsection with this approach.

Crunches won't hit your lower abs or your obliques. This is why even those in decent shape often only have the top two muscles clearly visible on their stomach.

This full workout will hit every single area for you:

1. Crunches with feet on an exercise ball x 20

2. Leg raise x 20

3. Ankle-touches x 20

You will really feel this one more if you perform it as a circuit, going from one exercise to the next without stopping for rest. Try to get through 3-4 rounds as quickly as you can, while focusing on feeling the contraction in the target area on every single rep you perform.
Today\'s workout teaches you how to get abs in minimal time with this brutal circuit.


This will allow you to individually focus on the three key areas to a stronger abdominal region, but you can significantly increase fat loss by keeping the intensity level set at a high pace.

It is very easy to get caught up in bland, boring workouts for muscles which do not provide the same ego-boosting stimulus as biceps, chest and shoulders. This is why many men neglect training their legs and do very dull midsection workouts, but the fact is any muscle needs a reason to develop. If you keep hitting it with a boring, easy workout then it won't force itself to change.

If you get your training intensity sorted out, you can get fantastic results in a very short space of time. Should you train abs with weight? This is not really necessary, providing you can keep your intensity level high. Today's body weight circuit teaches you how to get abs with no fitness equipment and those who apply the techniques will see results from it.
