Ripped Abs the Quick Way

Ripped Abs the Quick Way

By Morf Ioso


Nothing inspires envy in other guys like a pair of well sculpted ripped abs and watch women unleash some serious building site worthy ogling when some ripped abs come on the screen or walk by. It is no surprise that it is a universal desire to posses that sculpted look in the abdominal area. However like most things with high levels of interest there is no end of conmen with bogus advice, contraptions and supplements to take your hard earned money or waste precious time. The facts according to my personal experience observation of others and science are simple. All you need for ripped abs are the right diet and exercise. This article will focus on the exercise portion. Exercise to develop the muscles in your abdominal area or core and burn off excess fat. The right diet to ensure the growth of muscle and keep the fat off thus exposing your newly acquired ripped abs. First thing I have to make clear the route to ripped abs is not a crunchathon, crunches definitely have their place in your regime in the pursuit of abs but even more important are compound movements which involve various muscle groups. Crunches will build some muscle in your midsection but compound movements like squats, planks, lunges etc do that and a lot more.
• Most importantly they induce EPOC (excess post exercise oxygen consumption) which ensures that your body keeps on burning calories long after you finished exercising. Which results in fat reduction which is a necessity if fat is covering your midsection
• They make your core work in the same way it is called upon to do daily that is by stabilizing your center of gravity and transmitting whatever force you generate out.
• This helps to build muscle coordination which further increases your strength and your ability to workout or perform in everyday life safely and powerfully.
• They also boost athletic performance and overall strength.
These exercises are best done in a circuit which increases the cardiovascular demand on the body which serves to boost your metabolic rate and the visibility of those ripped abs. Exercises such as squats, jump squats, mountain climbers, lunges reverse lunges, jack knife, front,side and back plank, dumbbell side bends,leg lift press ups, leg raise etc. This is by no means an extensive list but it is enough for you to put together an effective circuit. As you will notice most of the exercises are done standing up or with a raised torso to simulate the stabilizing effect. With the effect of increasing balance and core stability. A sample workout would be
Set 1

Set 2

20 burpees

15 divebombers

25 bodyweight squats

25 bodyweight squats

20 cross crunches

30 second planks either side

30 seconds mountain climbers

15 toe touches

30 second front bridge

26 lunges either leg
Each set done twice eg set 1 then set 2 repeat with ten seconds of rest between exercises work up to none. This circuit can be tweaked to fit different capabilities but you should work towards cutting the rest time down as your abilities improve. To avoid hitting a plateau or getting bored switching the exercises every couple weeks is a good idea. Look out for part two which will show what foods sabotage your ripped abs and which tasty ones actually help in your quest.
