He has been exercising almost every day. She was losing weight and starting to see some definition. Oh! Your body just put on the brakes. Are you tired. A couple of the lost kilos returned to you. Well, you’ve stalled on your ripped abs workout. Now what should you do?
Sometimes a day or a break may be in order. But chances are you just need to tweak his workout to help get him back on track to getting his six pack abs. Maybe you’ve been doing the same ripped abs routine and diet for the last 4-6 weeks. If so, take a step back and think about this for a moment.
You could increase your weights or add minutes to your cardio, but maybe you need something different for your ripped abs. If you’re tired, adding weights may not be the answer yet.
Try these options:
1. Change the order of your exercises. Same thing but starts backwards. Or mix them totally.
2. Try a great setup with little to no rest in between. Take a 2-3 minute break after 10 minutes. And go back to work.
3. Change your level of difficulty by changing the angle of your weight lift, the angle of the treadmill, etc.
4. Think about grouping similar exercises: arms, chest, legs.
5. You can even lighten your weight by 5 or 10 pounds (depending on which body part you’re working), but increase your number of repetitions. If you did 3 sets of 12 before, do 1 set of 40. Something in that order.
6. On your cardio, once you’ve warmed up, go as fast as you can for as long as you can. Once you’ve reached your limit, slow back to your normal pace. After you’ve recovered, go as fast and as long as you can again. Then slow down. Finish your cardio at your normal time.
There are more variations you can do to get back on track with your ripped abs. Whatever you choose, put in as much energy as you can. Focus fully on your new exercise variations and you will start to see results.
You will start to feel energized. You’ll feel refreshed with a different routine, even though you’re still doing the same exercises, just a little different. As soon as you see that you’re back on track to achieving your ripped abs goal, then consider modifying your routine further. Talk to a trainer for suggestions on what your next level should be.
You’re almost there.
