A six pack in only 3 Minutes - Is it possible?

Most of us it seems today are in a big hurry or have little time to spare. This lack of time means that everybody is looking for a quick fix especially when it comes to fitness.

So before we go further if you are hoping that you can get a six pack in 3 minutes then you need be a little more realistic.

Just working out for 3 minutes every week will not get you a six pack .You really need to be training 3-6 times a week and folllowing a healthy diet plus eating the right amount of calories to get your body in a fat burning state. However if your time for exercise is very limited and you can spare only a few minutes every day here is some good advice and a great 3 minute fat burning, six pack workout you can try at your next training session:

1. Focus on intensity

One of the most important factors when looking to lose body fat and show off your six pack is applying high intensity to your workouts. This means that if you can only spare just a few minutes per day for training then the workout must be performed at the highest level of intensity you can manage.

2. Proper Technique

During your workouts always make sure that you are performing every rep with good control and proper technique.This will make sure that you are working the muscle as hard as possible which is especially important when only working out in short bursts of time. If you do feel that your form is not correct or your technique is suffering then either slow down the rep tempo or reduce the weights you are using.

3. Total Body Workouts

Just performing ab exercises when you only have a short period of time to train is not the best course to take. Your goal is to really burn as many calories in the time you have available and one of best options to do this is do workouts that target the whole body. Resistance training performed at high intensity is a fantastic way of burning fat and giving your whole body including abs a hard workout. If your not sure about this try this workout and see how you feel after only 3 minutes:

1 Kettlebell/Dumbbell 2 handed Swings - 1 minute

2. Press up with mountain Climber - 1 minute

3. Dumbbell Squat to overhead press  - 1 minute

Perform as a continuous circuit with no rest between each exercise.

This workout will have you dripping sweat and panting for breath in no time plus it is working your abs hard for the whole 3 minutes .

 So just applying these tips to every training session means that even though you are only exercising for short periods you are giving your body a very effective workout.  If you hit the point when you can perform a workout like this a maximum intensity then its time to either change the routine or start adding weight.

So as you can it is not impossible to get a six pack in three minutes but if you want quicker results then you really need to increase your workout time to 15-30 minutes. Finally always keep in mind that without the correct diet all you hard work in getting a six pack will be in vain.
