Tired of doing hundred and hundreds of sit-ups with no results? Tired of workout programs that show promise, but doesn’t live up their word in the end. Well now its time to kick it into gear with this custom Ab Workouts I have personally designed myself. With the continuing years and years of training I’ve gone through, I’ve pretty much tried it all. But first, let’s go through these pre-exquisites first.

1) Your Diet: Now I’m not going to go into a hardcore lecture upon how you should diet and why, but believe it or not, what you eat can have a huge contributing factor upon your own results. Quit the junk food, the booze, the candy, fastfood and put all that into strict moderation. If you want results quicker, being more health consicious of what you eat will ultimately alter your results. You don’t have to quit everything that you love to eat, just put the junk food into moderation. But trust me, the longer the duration of moderation intervals, the better you’re off.

2) Rep Scheme: If your idea of doing 2000 sit-ups is the only way to go, that’s entirely wrong. You don’t need to do 4 billion sit-ups to get results. Abs are just like any other muscle, with the right stimulation, your abs will grow with the right rep scheme. Though they are primarily composed of slow-twitch muscle fibers, high reps is the way to go. As I mentioned before, high reps doesn’t mean doing millions of sit-ups. My idea of high reps is around 30-50 reps. Now that strictly goes with sit ups.

Now with all that being said, let’s get to the workout routine. Now after you read the workout routine, you may actually question why so simple? Well to put it bluntly, I like being simple. I like throwing away all the complicated BS and getting straight to the point. That’s one of my main aggravations seeing all these new and hip workout routines that only cator to endless reps and sets. Anyways, my workout consists of a sprinting routine. Why am I including a sprinting routine? Because doing high-intensity bouts like sprints will boost fat loss and will add more difficulty to the workout. As you combine doing sprints and sit-ups together in one single workout, they will correlate with each other by burning fat and building ab muscle all at the same time. Now enough with the chatter, here’s the routine:

Sprints:

-100 meter sprint, followed by a set of 30 sit-ups. Right after you do your sprint, you’ll want to lay flat on your back, and do a set of 30 sit-ups. For the first workout, do 4 sets just to get used to it. And as you make progress, you can adjust the sit-up rep scheme and also the amount of sets. Right now, I’m up to 8 sets per workout. And also, keep the rest period between each set about 2 minutes apart.

If you don’t know already, there are other methods of working abs other than just doing regular sit-ups. So if you like to substitute V-ups for regular sit-ups, that’s fine also. And as you’re doing the sit-ups, concentrate on feeling the contraction within your abdominal area. Speed helps, but if your abs aren’t properly contracting, your countless sit-ups will be wasted. So there’s your routine. Hah, I told you it wasn’t so complicated. But will it really work? YES, as long as you train hard enough it will.
