My list of subscribers exploded to over 8,000 people in less than 9 weeks. I can see that a lot of people are interested in achieving great abs in less time. This is why I am dedicated to provide you with great information that you can do from home.
I also receive hundreds of e-mails everyday asking for help and for more tips/advice. Unfortunately, I can only respond to about a dozen e-mails per day due to my limited time. I apologize if I cannot respond to your email.
I have been very busy for the past several weeks. For those people who do not know who I am, I am also a personal trainer, fitness boot camp coach, and fitness expert. This is what I do for a living. I help people get in shape whether it is to lose weight, get six pack abs, or just to feel better about themselves.
I created this site to help you get closer to achieving your six pack abs.
Just stayed tuned because I will have more great tips and videos coming soon.
Arpil 9, Week 8 - M, W, F (3x per week)
Workout Routine:
RESISTANCE TRAINING
Instructions:
All exercises are done in a superset between upper body and lower body.
For example, elevated feet pushups (upper body) are supersetted with 1 legged ball squats (lower body). Do NOT rest within the superset (between the upper body and lower body), but rest 30 seconds after the lower body before repeating the superset again. Repeat for a total of 2-3 rounds total. Proceed to the next superset.
Aim for higher reps: 15-20 reps
Aim for 3-4 rounds for each superset (upper body to lower body)
Again, take no more than 30 seconds rest in between.
Next week, I will reveal to you my transformation with only 8 weeks of training.
If you want to maximize your results even more, I suggest that you also incorporate my 16 week interval training with your exercise routine.
