How To Get Six Pack Abs As Fast As Possible

Fitness trainers generally teach that the abdominals help to support and stabilize your spine, and thus, they should never be fatigued prior to performing non ab exercises such as squats, pressing or rowing exercises. Based on the abs role as a stabilizer, the whole fitness world insists that you must ALWAYS perform your abdominal training at the end of your workout.

I see their point to a degree but their philosophy is in stark contrast with "The Priority Principle. The Priority Principle simply says that what gets trained first (while in the freshest state) will get the best training effect. The fitness experts agree that this is a powerful principle with every single muscle group...except the abs. Why would this principle be true for every other muscle group in the human body except the abs?

What if getting a set of six pack abs is your number one priority? What if your abs happen to be your weakest body part?

In either of these cases, your abs should be worked at the beginning of your workout when you are the least fatigued.

So I recommend this modification to your workout: if six pack abs are your main concern, train them first! This one simple alteration in training order will make a significant difference in you bottom line results. When following this sequence, you will be able to put forth a better effort because you will be completely fresh.

If, like most people, you just throw an ab exercise at the end of your workout, this technique will double you rate of progress towards sculpting your midsection.

In addition to the benefits mentioned above, priority abdominal training will also provide you with a great warm up for the rest of your workout. The only exception to this rule is when you are truly training with maximal weights. Doing anything that could have any residual fatigue prior to a maximal weight workout would be undesirable.

Try this exercise sequencing technique and get great ab development in half the time! As Stephen Covey says, "Put First Things First".
