In the old days it used to be that the best six pack exercises were hours of cardio. The experts always suggested dauntingly high amounts of time to be spent on a treadmill. Frankly it was becoming insane. The change over to a better style has been long awaited and it is finally here.
Research recently has suggested the idea that steady-state cardio is not the best thing for getting in shape after all. Have you ever seen a beer-bellied marathon runner? I have. That should be impossible considering that they do more steady-state cardiovascular activity than anyone else.
On average, sprinters have the lowest body fat percentages around. You may be familiar with High Intensity Interval Training(HIIT). It is extremely powerful and sprinting is the best form of it. HIIT activities burn more calories per minute spent than steady-state cardio and also create an after-burn effect for up to two days following due to the high level of overall muscular activity.
For HIIT there are a few options. What HIIT is, is basically activity focused towards the repeated extreme spiking in your heart-rate. As it takes so much out of you you need down-time between sets so you can push yourself back up there again. Examples include interval sprints, rapid circuit training, burst swimming, and some boxing drills. If you have an idea, run with it as it will keep your workouts interesting and keep you coming back.
This style of six pack exercises will put a lot of stress on your entire system. Consider them as you would a normal workout and give a day's rest between. If you're truly attached to cardio or feel like doing something every day, you can do some steady-state cardio on off-days as it isn't too demanding. When you have a choice between the two, there isn't one. HIIT wins out every time as the most efficient style of six pack exercises.
