Six packs in 28 days

It takes a tremendous effort to build and is a punishment to maintain but a set of six packs is the definite difference between fit and unfit. They are that muscle group that everybody wishes to achieve. The problem is that everybody wants to get six pack abdominal muscles almost instantly. Though they can not be achieved instantly , trainer at local gym Shapes Hassan Khan will explain to us the shortest way of achieving effective six pack abdominal muscles. This routine when put into effect will show its results in just 28 days. According to Khan 30 percent is just the workout and the rest is achieved by the food we eat. Khan has very clearly said that one does not have to kill himself by eating just fruits or vegetables but proteins like boiled chicken are also essential. The workout itself is rather simple, it works on two principles. Firstly the more punishment a muscle recieves the more it grows. Secondly a muscle needs a day in between to rest, by doing so it will grow bigger and more efficient.

To start with 4 exercises will be put into the routine. There will be alternate days for the two muscle groups which are the upper and lower abdominals. The routine for upper abdominals should comprise of 15 reps of crunches per set making a total of 5 sets with a rest time no longer than 45 seconds between each set. A second exercise for sides will also be practiced. Khan explains that rather than using heavy dumbells it is much more effective to use ones own body weight. This routine should comprise of 13 reps and 3 sets with the same rest time of 45 seconds in between each set. The second routine comprising of lower abdominals is much harder as it focuses on reducing belly fat. This routine will consist of leg raises and twists aswell as hanging leg raises. The number of reps is also 15 for twists and leg raises with a rest time of 45 seconds in between sets. When it comes to hanging leg raises Khan says Its not about the reps here but the amount of stress one can put on their muscles and the best thing to do when it comes to leg raises is for one to raise and retreat in the slowest manner possible.

Now the extensive part of abdominal training comes into play when we talk about the diet that is needed to maintain the hard work. When it comes to diet Khan says I cant stand those people who think eating salads is the only way to maintain abdominal muscles , I think all food types taken in minute quantities are essential for the maintainence of abdominal muscles. Ofcourse the best way to kill excess hunger is to eat vegetables such as cucumber which eaten in any amount do not have a negative effect on abdominal muscles.

In order for this plan to be successful there must be absoloutely no compromise on diet or excersise. Even the smallest of changes such as increased rest time or even a cheat meal can greatly effect ones abdominals. So in the end determination will be the key to success when it comes to building six pack abdominal muscles in just 28 days.
