Hi guys, Dave Thorpe here with another edition of the Truth About Six Pack Abs FAQ. I get asked all the time about they types of exercises you can expect to be doing with Truth About Abs, so let's find out!
The Truth About Six Pack Abs - Fat Burning WorkoutQ: What type of exercises will I be doing with The Truth About Six Pack Abs? Will I be doing tons of cardio, lifting lots of heavy weights, or both?
But before I go on to give you the answer, let's rephrase the question slightly: "What are the best exercises for burning away my fat, and building lean muscle?"
But hang on just a second, I'm going to hit you with a pretty serious statement, so try to have an open mind. Did you know that the best exercises for burning fat and building lean muscle are not necessarily what you've been taught?
The best example is the medium-paced cardio myth that has been force fed to everyone that has dared to try and get lean. The typical advice is that you need to do five 30 minute sessions per week at least if you really want a flat stomach.
But the truth about medium paced cardio is actually quite shocking.
Although it is decent at burning fat during exercise, it burns almost no fat post workout what so ever!
So let's thing about that for a second. How does that make you feel? All of that sweat on the treadmill; has it all been in vain?
But hold on a minute! There is a better way. Check out these scientific studies for proof that cardio isn't all it's cracked up to be when it comes to getting ripped six pack abs.
Researchers at the Laval University in Quebec we shocked to find that interval training caused subjects to lose more body fat than cardio. Even though most fat loss programs in the world today recommend medium paced cardio as the only way to shift stubborn belly fat.
And this is also the advice you'll find in the gym. Most personal trainers will also tell you that 30-45 minute cardio sessions are a must if you want to lose weight.
And here is another interesting study, this time from the Journal of Applied Physiology. The study found out that men were able to build muscle and lose fat with strength training alone (even those over the age of 60)!
The US based study was conducted over a period of 12 weeks in total. Subjects were asked to follow a strength training program 3 times per week. On average they were able to gain 4 lbs of muscle, and burn 4 lbs of flab.
And that was with no cardio what so ever.
I can see a pattern forming. Are you with me?
Let's cut to the chase and answer the original question, "What type of exercises will I be doing with The Truth About Six Pack Abs? Will I be doing tons of cardio, lifting lots of heavy weights, or both?":
The Truth About Six Pack Abs teaches you the most effective exercises for burning fat and building muscle.
It's going to teach you multi-joint, resistance exercises. And it is going to show you exercise programs that stimulate a hormonal fat burning response in your body.
Sounds a little complicated, doesn't it? But all you need to know is that this fat burning hormonal response keeps your body burning fat for up to 2 days post workout!
This was never possible with the slow to medium-paced boring cardio.
Let's break it down a little bit further:
You'll be working harder. A more intense workout means that you can get much more 'work' done in a shorter period of time.
In fact your fat burning hormonal response will be lasting for much longer than all traditional workout routines. Lasting for up to 2 days, you will be burning fat for free, while you're not even at the gym!
The added benefit of all of this extra fat burning power is the reduction in time you need to spend at the gym. In fact you will only need 3 or 4 forty-five minute workouts per week to get ripped.
