HIIT For Abs – My Favorite HIIT For Abs Routine!

by Chris on May 1, 2010

Thanks for coming back so often, can I offer you this FREE GIFT as a token of my appreciation?

If you are not yet familiar with HIIT (High Intense Interval Training) then I’ll just give you a short explanation of it here. Pretty much, you work hard for a short interval (10-30 seconds) then you rest for a while (30-90 seconds). You repeat this for up to 16 minutes to complete your HIIT for abs routine.

By hard work I mean “max effort”, no holding back, puke enducing work. Yes, this stuff is pretty darn HARD! It’s not for sissies by any means. Max effort is hard to reach for most people. Anyway, here’s my favorite hiit interval workout that I do to lose belly fat when I cut weight.

Burpees or Sprints/Hill Sprints. I stick to these 3 variations only.

For burpees: I do 30 s work, 30 s rest using my Gymboss Interval timer, at home or on the go. Easy and effective. I can usually do about 11-13 burpees the first 30 seconds and towards the end I only manage to do about 7-8, because of fatigue. I tend to do these for around 14-16 rounds until I collapse. It takes about 16 minutes to do and makes you work your whole body.

For sprints: When I sprint I just run from my house to a 2 mile forest track. For the duration of that track I will perform 30 second sprints followed by 30 second walks. I do this until I make the full 2 mile lap. It takes various amounts of time, but usually about 12-16 rounds. I use my gymboss timer for this as well to make sure I can’t cheat with the rest or work periods.

For Hill Sprints: This is nice, because you only have to find a very steep hill and run as hard as you can to the top, then walk slowly down. Take a breather and go HARD again. Repeat 8-12 times. This one I don’t use a timer, since it’s hard up, slow down. This makes you LEAN UP LIKE CRAZY if you do it consistently for a few weeks and stick to your diet.

This is pretty much the cardio I do for my abs. This HIIT routine is for your abs! Perform it every other day and be sure to lift weights every other day. That’s 6 days a week you train, but dang it, you will be sporting a six pack very soon, trust me! This is so effective when done at high intensity, you wouldn’t believe it until you tried it =)
