Planking and "Quick Six-Pack Abs"

One simple and effective method to work your core is to engage in exercises like the “plank” or any of its variation that involves your core. This is a good way to lose belly fat and sculpt your body to perfection.

Here is one cool exercise for your core to get that elusive quick six-pack abs.

Begin with the push-up position, where the entire body is straight, like a plank, while only your palms and your toes are in direct contact with the floor.

Then from this position, take your right hand off the floor to shift more of your weight on your left hand so that it supports all of your upper body, and then extend your right hand out your right side without bending the elbows.

After it, continue to lift and turn your right hand even higher, until it is pointing straight up to the direction of the ceiling. Your head and body will have to rotate about 90 degrees in order to achieve this. Keep the “plank” shape with your body in any direction. You should not allow any bending or sagging around the waistline.

Now at this point, only your left palm and feet will be touching the floor. You should hold this position for 5 seconds, while the body is still in a straight position without any bending or sagging in the midsection part of the body.

The next thing to do is to bring your right hand back to the floor. Rotate your body, at moderate speed, back to its starting position, or the push-up position. After it, do the other side. Take your left palm off the floor and repeat the same process. You should maintain this position for five seconds, and then go back to the starting position at moderate speed.

You can do the entire movement six to ten times. Begin with one set of six to ten repetitions, three to four times a week. Then do two sets of 6 to 10 reps the next week. The week after next week, make 3 sets, and on the fourth week, 4 sets.

You can continue to do 4 sets of 6 to 10 repetitions after the fourth week, or 3 to 4 times per week, with a day in between to take rest.

You should do this in order to achieve that six-pack abs to show off in your next summer vacation on the beach.

Take note that walking also helps in achieving your goal of a well sculpt body. And, of course, do that core exercise you need to do! Visit Bellyfatdiet.net to see more of exercises to reduce belly fat.
