HIIT Workout - How to Get a Six Pack Quickly Without a Gym Membership

A quality HIIT workout, combined with a good nutrition plan is crucial when it comes to getting a flat stomach. If you want to know how to get a six pack quickly, you MUST understand the power of HIIT training and a good HIIT workout.

I've written about high intensity interval training before, but I'll give you a brief rundown on interval training. Interval training involves alternating high intensity work with lower intensity work. A good example would be sprinting the straightaway on a running track and jogging around the turns.

So why is a HIIT workout so effective when it comes to getting flat abs?

First, HIIT cardio burns calories during the workout itself.

Second, do to the intensity of the workout, you burn calories for up to 39 hours AFTER the workout is over. Typical cardio does not have this benefit of boosting your metabolism like this.

Besides those great benefits, interval training also allows for a lot more variety than typical cardio. This helps two more ways.




First, it can help with your motivation since it keeps you from getting bored (does anyone look forward to pedaling a stationary bike for 60 to 90 minutes?) and it can help prevent overuse injuries that can be brought on by doing the same cardio over and over again.

You also don't need expensive home fitness equipment, like a stationary bike or treadmill. You also don't need to make a trip to the gym for these workouts, either.

You can do HIIT training inside or out, use tons of great bodyweight exercises and throw in minimal equipment for an endless amount of variety.

Here's a great HIIT workout you can do outside to burn serious amounts of body fat.

Grab a couple of dumbbells or kettlebells and head out to a track, or any open field, basically any place you can run (without getting hit by a car!).

Place one dumbbell or kettlebell at one end of the field or track (I have a soccer field nearby and can put one at either end).

Now job around the track or field (if you have a space that you can't go around but can go up and back, place one at each end).

Every time you get to a dumbbell or kettlebell, perform an exercise.
