Ripped six pack abs 

Want to know the best ab exercises for free?! Read on!

Circuit Training is definitely my favorite way getting rid belly fat and getting Ripped six pack abs. I think it is so good because more muscles of the body are incorporated as oppose to an inferior workout like cycling machines where only the lower body is used!

Circuit training is not only awesome way of getting Ripped Six Pack Abs but it also works great for developing strength, endurance, flexibility and coordination.

The great thing also about Circuit training is that it can be altered to fit your goal of building muscle mass, losing fat and in this case getting visible Six Pack Abs.

Circuit Training in your GymRipped-six-pack-abs

Circuit Training in the gym can be quite difficult especially if you head there around peak times. This is so because often in circuit you must use a variety of dumbbells, barbells, machines, benches and so on. 

This of course can cause a problem if you’re trying to complete all of the exercises in the circuit in a busy overcrowded gym.

Unless you solely have the use of all the equipment in the gym I would usually recommend sticking to one method of working out. 

For example, a circuit comprised totally of dumbbells and bodyweight exercise or barbell and bodyweight exercises.

This way you can stick to just one area of the gym with your bench and dumbbells or barbell and complete the exercises without any waiting around for the use of gym equipment.

Waiting around in between exercise makes no sense as circuits are always completed right through with no rest.

Machine Weights and Circuit Training

You might have noticed that I didn’t mention anything about machine weights in the circuit and with good reason. In my opinion, I don’t thing machine weights have much place in a Circuit. I believe this because your goal with circuit training, to get Ripped Abs Fast, is to firstly lose body fat and secondly to gain muscle mass.

I would much rather include a free weights or bodyweight movements that not only recruits the muscles it’s done for but also all the core ab muscles which are targeted indirectly from doing free weight or bodyweight exercises.

Circuit Training and Building muscle mass

I think It must be said that Circuit training will not build you slabs of lean muscle mass. In fact a gain of 3lbs of muscle in the space of a month would be quite good. Don’t be put off by this though. Ripped six pack abs

The aim of circuit training for you is to get Ripped Abs not to bulk up. Circuit Training is a means of maintaining muscle mass and losing body fat so you will eventually reveal the rock hard abs and defined muscle beneath that layer of subcutaneous fat.

Anyway, A person who weight 180 with a 10% body fat looks much bigger (and Better!) than an individual who weight 200ls with a 20% bodyfat.

The circuit outlined below is to be completed 3 days a week with 1 or 2 short Cardio session in the mix. When doing the Circuit you should complete it right through with no breaks between exercises. 

This can be difficult so ensure you drop back on the weights you usually do so you don’t become totally fatigue and unable to complete the set or the reps outlined.

Rest after every circuit for no more than 90 seconds. You have to be the best judge of how many sets to do. Start with 3 sets and then bump it up if you feel you can give more. Don’t go over 40 minutes of Exercise!
