I also discover that almost all women (and quite a lot of guys too) spend means an excessive amount of time with gradual cardio workouts. That is merely not vital, and the best way I combine high intensity resistance training into full physique routines supplies enough of a "cardio" workout in itself usually. We'll get again to this in a minute though.
CB: What about old style sit-ups? Do you employ these? Are they good, dangerous, or does it "rely"? MG: Sit-ups are a controversial topic. I don't suppose they're good or bad per se, but relatively "in between". I didn't include them in my exercise programs. I simply don't feel they're mandatory, and I think there are rather more efficient abs workouts to focus on. Personally, I nearly never do sit-ups except sometimes for a little selection each now and then. CB: Give us a weekly sample ab training program. How many days per week? What are a couple of the very best workout routines you'd choose? How many sets? Reps? Rest?
MG: Well, first I'd like to point out that the full body exercises that make up the majority of my programs indirectly work the abs and the entire "core" area to a fairly decent extent. However, I do include abs-specific exercises into the routines generally about twice per week. The "abs-specific" portion of the workouts generally only take about 5 minutes at most with very little rest between exercises.
Once people are past the beginning phase of gaining some initial ab strength, I try to get them away from the exercises that are too easy, where someone can do 50 or 100 reps, as is frequently common with standard crunches. Instead, I like to focus on higher resistance exercises that actually stimulate the muscle fibers to a much greater degree. One example of a higher resistance abs exercise is hanging leg raises with a proper "pelvic curl up". It's funny but usually someone that has been wasting so much time with hundreds of reps of crunches can usually only do a few solid reps when they first attempt some of these higher resistance exercises. We also make sure not to neglect some rotational movements, as well as some work for the deeper muscles like the transversus abdominis. CB: What do you use for burning fat, intervals or slow cardio workouts? Or both? Any gender differences here? Or differences between fitness levels (beginner vs. advanced)? MG: In most cases, my answer is definitely intervals... or as I like to call it "variable intensity training". In general, I think slow steady pace cardio is a waste of time, especially if the goal is lasting fat loss.
I think people need to get away from this thinking about "fat burning zones" and calories burned during the actual workout, and look at the bigger picture of what you're doing in your workout to stimulate the greatest metabolic response in your body... and the best metabolic and hormonal response is achieved through variable intensity training and strength training, not slow steady-pace cardio workouts. Now I will say that if someone is really deconditioned and can't handle higher intensity exercise routines just yet, this still doesn't mean that they can't simply use lower intensity routines, but still use it in a "variable intensity" fashion, by alternating between higher and lower exertion levels throughout the workout.
That wraps up the "abs training" portion of the interview. We'll focus on the nutrition points that are mandatory for losing enough body fats to get seen six pack abs in a separate article
