Ok, here’s a short guide on how to get ripped quick. With or without ab exercise equipment. Maybe summer is coming and you want to look really good in those swimming trunks or bikini.
Bad news…you will not achieve a ripped body in a day or two. 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. Don’t cut down on your calorie intake too severely as this can lead to muscle loss and also negatively affect your metabolism.
You preferably want to balance the amount of fat, carbohydrates and protein that you ingest.
Definitely remove starches and refined sugars from your diet as far as possible. 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: What are the best type of cardio exercises to do?
Forget about doing endless long cardio in your ab exercise routine. You want to switch to shorter, more intense workouts. 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
Sprinting uphill
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. Here’s an example: you run a sprint uphill, then walk back down to break up the intensity.
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.
Quite simply, you burn more calories during short, high intensity exercises than with long, slow cardio exercises. If you want to get ripped quick, interval training is the way to go.
Take care not to overdo it. All you’ll achieve is to hold back your body’s recovery process, which will not get you the results you want. An injury caused by over training can also put you out of action for a long time, and there’s no need for me to explain what that means. You only need to exercise about 3 – 4 times per week.
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 referring to pullups, mountain climbers, pushups, squats, static jumps, lunges. 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. Be sure to include some exercises that specifically target and isolate the abs in your routine, like jack knives, suspended leg lifts and reverse crunches, but don’t do ONLY those. Make your whole body work – that way you’ll melt the fat off much faster.
