Four Weeks To Flat Abs

advertisement
If you want to lose your gut, don’t think of lifting weights as an option –consider it a requirement. Why? When dieters don’t pump iron, 22 per cent of their weight loss comes from losing muscle, according to a Penn State University study in the US. So, if you drop 10kg without lifting, almost 2.2kg will be from muscle.

That won’t happen with this programme. It’s designed to work your muscles intensively four days a week, so you can banish your belly but keep your biceps. In fact, scientists discovered that men using a similar approach lost 37 per cent more fat than those who didn’t use weights. The end result: the lean, muscular body you want.
 
Directions
Perform these workouts four days a week.
Do the upper- and lower-body workouts on consecutive days, rest a day, then repeat.
For your first upper-body day, use the low-rep workout.
For your first lower-body day, follow the high-rep workout.
Then switch for your second two days of training, so every week, you’d end up performing both high and low reps for your upper and lower body.
