How To Reveal Those Abs



You have done all the exercises for your abs but you are not there yet.  Well this is where High Intensity Interval Training comes in.  In as little as 3-6 weeks you can shred a lot of fat from you body and reveal those ripped abs that you have been working so hard to get.  Below I have described some of the protocols that I have  used with my clients to get some amazing results.

WARNING:  The results are amazing and increased joy and happiness will abound.

Equipment: exercise bike, elliptical machine, treadmill, rowing machine, or even running outside. However, you need some way of measuring intensity, either watts, speed, or pace. This is to ensure
that the intervals are done at the same intensity. The human body is truly amazing and adapts to stress quite rapidly, so we have to change the protocol every 3 to six weeks. I strongly suggest that you wear a heart rate monitor at all times.

HIIT Protocol #1 - Meta Burn

This protocol is great to get you used to HIIT training, it sets your metabolism on fire, and ignites the fat burning furnace that will last all day.

  1. Warm up for 5 minutes at 55% of your maximum heart rate (.55xMHR).
  2. Go as hard as you can for 1 minute (8.5 out of 10), rest for one minute. Repeat this for 5 times.
  3. Go as hard as you can for 2 minutes (7.5 out of 10), rest for 1 minute. Repeat 3 times.
  4. Go as hard as you can for 3 minutes.
  5. Cool down at 55% MHR for 5 minutes.

Use speed, watts, or pace to ensure the intervals are at the same intensity. If you can't maintain them at the same intensity, then reduce the intensity the next time you do the session. If you feel dizzy or nauseous during any of the intervals stop immediately take deep breaths, slowly dismount the apparatus that you are working on and try it again the next schedule training session.

HIIT Protocol #2 - Hades Shredder

I developed this for ripping abs, There is a long deep burn from this one.

  1. Warm up for 5 minutes at 55% of your maximum heart rate (.55xMHR).
  2. Go as hard as you can for 30 seconds (100% effort), rest for 1 minute. Repeat 4 times.
  3. Go as hard as you can for 1 minute ( 90% effort), rest for1 minute. Repeat 4 times.
  4. Go as hard as you can for 2 minutes (85% effort), rest for one minute. Repeat 3 times.
  5. Cool down at 55% MHR for 5 minutes.

Use speed, watts, or pace to ensure the intervals are at the same intensity. If you can't maintain them at the same intensity, then reduce the intensity the next time you do the session. If you feel dizzy or nauseous during any of the intervals stop immediately take deep breaths, slowly dismount the apparatus that you are working on and try it again the next schedule training session.
