Do you remember the classic scene in "Something About Mary" where Ben Stiller and the crazy hitchhiker are discussing plans for a product called "7-Minute Abs"?
Hitchhiker: You heard of this thing, the 8-Minute Abs?
Stiller: Yeah, sure, 8-Minute Abs. Yeah, the excercise video.
Hitchhiker: Yeah, this is going to blow that right out of the water. Listen to this: 7... Minute... Abs.
Stiller: Right. Yes. OK, all right. I see where you're going.
Hitchhiker: Think about it. You walk into a video store, you see 8-Minute Abs sittin' there, there's 7-Minute Abs right beside it.
Which one are you gonna pick, man?
Stiller: I would go for the 7.
Hitchhiker: Bingo, man, bingo. 7-Minute Abs. And we guarantee just as good a workout as the 8-minute folk.
Stiller: You guarantee it? That's - how do you do that?
Hitchhiker: If you're not happy with the first 7 minutes, we're gonna send you the extra minute free. You see? That's it. That's
our motto. That's where we're comin' from. That's from "A" to "B".
Stiller: That's right. That's - that's good. That's good. Unless, of course, somebody comes up with 6-Minute Abs. Then you're in
trouble, huh?
[Hitchhiker convulses]
Hitchhiker: No! No, no, not 6! I said 7. Nobody's comin' up with 6. Who works out in 6 minutes? You won't even get your heart goin, not even a mouse on a wheel.
Stiller: That's a good point.
*************
A good point indeed.
Listen, 8-minute abs, 7-minute abs, 6-minute abs, it doesn't matter.
Because we need to remove our focus AWAY from abs, and over to total body exercises and interval training that help us burn the belly fat.
Ain't gonna be no abs, no matter how many minutes we spend on them, if we still have too much body fat.
So you need to set-up your abs workouts like this:
Bodyweight Warm-up (3-5 minutes)
Fat Burning Supersets with Total Body Ab Exercises Built In (15-20 minutes)
Belly Fat Blasting Interval Training (15-20 minutes)
That's it. Let's be realistic, no one is getting abs by doing crunches and other ineffective ab exercises for 7, 21, or even 45
minutes.
If you want six pack abs, like mine, you need to do short, burst exercise workouts to burn belly fat and you'll get your six pack on the side.
Toss the 7 minutes of crunches, and do Stability Ball Rollouts, X-Body Mountain Climbers, Pull-ups with Knee-ups, Stability Ball
Jackknives, and other total body ab exercises for six pack abs.
