Ok, this is a real quick update to let you all know how many reps of each exercise I am completing when I carry out my six pack exercise routine. Remember you should do this routine every other day, since the muscle that was broken down when you last performed the exercises can then reknit together during the rest day and therefore the muscle becomes stronger.
So here is my current reps:
1. Knees to Chest / Reverse Crunch – 100 reps
2. Bridge – 70 reps
3. Knees side to side / oblique exercise – 100 reps
4. Bicycle Legs – 100 reps
I also carry out some back stretches at the end which are similar to press ups, however you keep your legs on the floor and just use your arms to lift your upper body of the floor in to a form of arc. I carry out 100 reps of these stretches.
Since I suffer with lower back problems, I can confirm that the routine I follow does not cause any problems to the lower back. It’s worth remembering also that the work you are doing on building up your six pack, will not only give you a great six pack, it will also cause your core to be extremely strong and therefore reduce the risk of injuries, for example to your lower back.
