Try not to push your ab training too far while in a rush to have a beach-ready physique. If you do too much work without allowing ample time to recover on any body part, even your stomach, you could very well be wasting your time. You should be able to see great results from a 5 minute ab training session so why spend 30 minutes on it? Most likely, after that initial 5 minutes, you’re not achieving any more benefits and may even be doing more harm than good.

Overtraining your abs can also drain your energy levels needed for training your other muscle groups. Ab training may work best when done in combination with other exercises like after a cardio session or right after biceps.

Your waist size could be an excellent indicator of your overall health and possibly a tell tale sign of how long you will live a healthy, productive life.

A lean six-pack set of abs can give you a great overall appearance, it also gives you health benefits. Generally speaking, the slimmer your waistline, the better your overall health condition is. Being overweight can lead to dangerous conditions such as heart disease and diabetes. Over time, extra fat around the midsection (in particular) is an indicator or potential health problems.

Try to stay fit and lean year round, with a lean stomach, and you’ll both look and feel great for many years to come.

Is it just me or is training on cardiovascular machinery about as much fun as watching paint dry? I won’t lie.  There are days when I simply don’t feel like hopping on that motionless bike or treadmill for yet another session of what seems to be an eternity in aerobic hell. On days like those I have to dig down deep to muster up the fortitude.  I need to get my cardio done.  Now don’t get me wrong  I struggle at times and not because I don’t realize the value of cardio..  I know it is an essential part of any exercise program, and I also know it’s a necessary evil for bodybuilders, especially pre-contest. 30 to 45 minutes on virtually any piece of cardio equipment can be very boring.

Let’s face it, machine cardio is just to my not miss at times, and to make matters worse, it creates the slowest passage of time ever.  Unless you’re talking with someone, watching television or reading, 30 minutes can seem like forever.  Hold on to your sweat drenched socks.  I am about to tell you how to break the monotony involved with using stationary cardio equipment.

The technique is called anaerobic aerobics.  This technique will make your cardio sessions fly by. you should also feel a lot less award, while doing your cardio exercise.  Anaerobic aerobics involves sprints and weight training during the same session.  Try this out during your next cardio session.

 Hop on the elliptical machine and set the timer for 11 minutes.during the first minute glide at a nice, and even pace.  Now at the beginning of the second minute sprint as fast as you can for 60 seconds.  Following this one minute sprint, to a nice and easy pace for the next minute.  Repeat this until your 11th minute. Now you just did 11 minutes of elliptical training which should have felt like a lot less time. By sprinting then slowing down, you should also have had a very effective cardio building, fat loss cardio session.
