subject: Lose Weight Fast - Getting Six-pack Abs [print this page] If you eat well there is no doubt you will begin to lose weight fast. Combine that with doing a lot of crunches and sit-ups as well as a decent amount of cardio you will be well on your way to getting a six-pack. This is a typical abs workout. But is this the best way to get great abdominals? Are you possibly overlooking critical elements of your health and aesthetics with such a focused routine?
We have all admired and envied someone with a great set of abs. But one of the reasons you noticed that person and their abdominals is usually because they have a complete package; great shoulders, a tapered torso, good muscularity, strong and toned butt and thighs. The abs become the eye-catching centerpiece to this overall lean, toned, symmetrical package.
So now you realize you need to build a total package. You need to build your whole body. Will that take much longer than just focusing on a simple abs workout? The good news is that it wont take any longer. In fact, the route to an overall balanced physique will get you where you want to go faster than gimmicky body-part focused routines.
The best abs/core exercises are actually squats and deadlifts. When your body has to stabilize holding weight on your shoulders like when you squat, it will give not only abs, but your core, butt, thighs, back, and shoulders a tremendous workout. You get a similar whole body workout from deadlifts. These two exercises are a must for anyone who truly wants to get fit and get a great six-pack.
Another component of your exercise routine should be sprinting. Doing a short sprint workout twice a week will work wonders for your abs as well as the rest of your body. And boy will you feel the workout the next day. Simply do 6 sprint drills (A Skips, B Skips, Heel to Bum, Running Backwards, Carioca, Straight Leg Shuffle) which you can learn how to do with a simple Google Search. Then follow that with 5 x 40 yard sprints. An added benefit is that high-intensity cardio such as sprinting has been shown to be an excellent way to burn fat.
