Exercises to Shred and Tone Your Abs - Are You Ready for a Six Pack?

The infamous six pack abs. Everyone wants this special achievement that few are actually willing to work hard enough to get. The main question that comes up however is, "How can I get that 6 pack by summer?" I'm not going to lie to you, it's going to take a small bit of effort on your own part, but it IS attainable if you put in the work required.

The exercises required for this amazing feat will include both cardio and medicine ball work. The main thing to realize is that in order to have any abs showing, you must be at a certain body fat percentage. Anything under 7-9 % and you can normally see some semblance of an outline. Here are a few exercises to really utilize in the next couple months to maximize results.

1. Medicine Ball Work.

If you are not familiar with these items, you can normally find these 7-10 pound balls at your gym. The key here is to use them to really work out your midsection with some resistance. To perform some of these exercises, you will need to lay down on a decline style bench, and while holding the ball over your head, perform your standard sit up. This is roughly 5 times as hard as a normal sit up, and you'll most definitely feel the burn quite a bit sooner than on a normal set. You can alternate between straight repetitions and twist variations from side to side to really work the obliques.

2. Cardio Running/Sprints.

It is very important to alternate these to promote an insane amount of fat loss throughout the entire body. 40 yard dashes work wonderful. I try to do anywhere from 5-10 of these to truly feel the burn. With the sprinting, it's also a great idea to add in some long distance running to burn off the fat storage deep within. With these two running techniques you can easily stimulate multiple parts of your fat burning process.

A combination of these two will definitely get you well on your way to that picture perfect midsection you've always wanted! Good Luck!
