A 6 Pack By Summer

If you listen to some, you might participate in a workout program to get a 6-pack by summer. Of course, you have to remember that you have to combine this with a good diet, because even if you work those muscles into a six pack, if they are laying under a layer of fat because you couldn’t give up your sweets, nobody’s going to be able to tell. But according to one workout, you can achieve faster fat loss, greater stamina, and extra muscle. You spend just 24 minutes per day on this, and you apparently get a chiseled body.
Michael Mejia MS CSCS, who is a Men’s Healthcare advisor, claims that if you believe that long aerobic exercise is the best way to lose weight and burn fat, you are holding yourself back, or at least if you’re a man. “Most men invest their energy in exercise that boosts their caloric expenditure only while they’re working out.” If you jog through the park for example, that happens. But from other trainers, we’ve heard that if you run for a certain period of time, your body will be steadily burning calories at an accelerated rate for at least an hour after.
However, Mejia claims that if you use resistance training, it boosts your metabolism for up to 48 hours after. And lifting weights is highly underrated, which is understandable. You may gain weight from increased muscle, but you are burning a significant amount more fat.
Mejia’s personal workout plan uses explosive exercises and combination lifts in a fast paced workout. You alternate between two workouts, workout A and workout B, and you work out 3 times a week, resting 1 day between each session. It’s really quite simple, and it gives you ways to work up to each full workout as well if you are struggling with not being really in shape.
To test your ability to burn fat at an accelerated rate and moreover your personal fitness level, you should lace up your running shoes and head to the track. Warm up for 2-3 minutes at a jog, and then sprint as fast as you can for as long and as far as you can. Stop as soon as you feel yourself slowing, and record either time or distance, it doesn’t really matter. The longer and farther you are able to run at that pace, the more prepared you are to last through a high intensity workout like that of Mejia and the less time you’ll have to spend working up to it.
