Ok, here’s a short guide on how to get ripped quick. whether you use ab exercise equipment or not. Maybe summer is coming and you want to look really good in those swimming trunks or bikini.
Bad news…no one can get a ripped physique without a committed effort. Good news…it can be done in a realistic time frame, which will of course depend on your current condition.
Get Ripped Quick - Super Tip 1: Sorting out your diet
First of all you need to sort out your diet. To avoid losing muscle mass and also slowing your metabolism, be careful not to reduce your calorie intake too much.
Ideally you want to strike a good balance between your intake of fat, carbohydrates and also protein.
Refined sugars and starches are some of the most important foods to avoid in your diet. On the flip side you’d want to make sure you take in plenty of whole, natural, unprocessed foods like vegetables, organic meat, nuts, fruit and eggs.
Super Tip 2: The best cardio exercises you should be doing?
Forget about doing endless long cardio in your ab exercise routine. It is recommended to engage in workouts that take less time while being more intense. Not only are they more effective at speeding up your metabolism, but they’re also more fun, easier to fit into your busy schedule and easier to stick to. Examples include:
Rope Jumping
Short Sprints
Hill Sprints
Climbing stairs
Interval Training
Waist High Roundhouse Kicks on a Punch Bag
If you don’t know, interval training is quite simply where periods of intense exercise are mixed with periods of less intense exercise, or recovery. A simple example would be doing a 70m hill sprint, then walking back down before doing another.
Interval training improves the performance of the cardiovascular system and also helps remove the risk of strain injuries that can occur during repetitive endurance exercises.
In short, exercises done at high intensity burn more calories in less time than time-consuming slow cardio routines. If you want to get ripped quick, interval training is the way to go.
Don’t over train, however. All you’ll achieve is to hold back your body’s recovery process, which will not get you the results you want. Doing yourself an injury due to over training is just stupid as it will set you back weeks. Exercise about 3, maximum 4 times a week, and listen to your body.
Super Tip 3: What are the best abdominal exercises to do?
What you want to do is focus on full body exercises, not just the ones that target your abs. Most of your exercise time should be spent on these. I’m talking about pushups, pullups, squats, lunges, mountain climbers, static jumps. What makes these exercises even better is that you do not need a gym, weights or any fancy ab exercise equipment to do them.
To get ripped quick you need to engage your entire body. You definitely should make ab targeting exercises part of your routine, but they shouldn’t make up your entire routine. Make your whole body work - that way you’ll melt the fat off much faster.
