Do you want to know how to
get a six pack in 3 minutes?!
Well, I’m here to tell you that it’s super easy as long as you are 21 years of age (In the United States at least…) and enter a “small” store that will allow you to walk to the beer cooler, grab a “six pack” and pay for it in no more than 3 minutes!
I know… I’m a really fun guy… except I didn’t hear anyone laughing. Let’s move on to see how this is really possible.
The truth is that it IS possible to get six pack abs in 3 minutes
but there is a couple of caveats…
Obviously, no one would expect to achieve this in a TOTAL of 3 minutes, but I am going to explain an exercise technique that can be performed multiple times per week for a total of 3 to 4 minutes that really will help you burn fat and see your six pack.
What I am going to propose here is an exercise technique that will allow you to perform an astronomical amount of work in a short amount of time as in 3 to 4 minutes.
In addition, you need to follow a fat burning meal plan that aligns with your goal to see those six pack abs! Here’s a good place to start for the meal plan.
Tabata Be Thy Name
Perhaps you have heard the term Tabata, Tabatas or Tabata protocol.
The Tabata protocol is based on a study where the subjects (aka victims) completed 6 to 8 rounds of ALL OUT effort for 20 seconds followed by a brief 10 second rest. If you manage to perform 6 to 8 rounds of this, it translates to 3 to 4 minutes.
As Coach Robert dos Remedios states in his book on Cardio strength training:
“The Tabata Protocol” is perhaps the most bastardized form of exercise ever.”
What he means is that performing a round of leisurely pushups or lunges for 20 seconds followed by a 2 minutes chat with your buddy is NOT the goal here!
To Unlock the benefits of the tabata protocol
your effort must be All-out!
“All out” is a very simple concept to understand but that doesn’t mean it’s easy to perform!!
It means you couldn’t possibly work any harder if your life depended on it. That’s All-out. Before you beat me up for that statement, I’m merely trying to make a point here. I’m sure you or I could dig a little bit deeper if our life truley did depend on it.
Example Exercises that will help you
get a six pack in 3-4 Tabata minutes:
- Burpees (Squat Thrust)
- Split Squat Jumps
- Kettlebell Swings
- Front Squats
- Jump Rope “Rocky style”
If you are following a 3 or 4 day per week workout routine, perform a tabata as a finisher! I promise that people that happen to be in the gym when you do this will wonder if they should call 911!
You will probably be a complete mess lying on
the floor when you are finished
Give it a shot!
