Build Six Pack Abs In Four Weeks – Take Two – Day Nine
Tuesday January 29, 2013
I did my twenty-two minute core workout this morning followed by nine sets of ten push-ups. I do ten regular push-ups, flat on the floor, every morning as part of my core stretching and calisthenics routine.
For my nine sets of ten push-ups I vary both the incline and the space between my hands for a more complete chest workout.
My push-up workout takes about nine minutes, I only rest for thirty seconds between sets.
In the evening as I fixed dinner I did three set of three pull-ups with my Door Gym.
The first set was with palms facing forward with my knees bent. The second set was with palms facing back with my legs at a ninety degree angle to work my abs. The final set I did in the neutral position, palms facing each other, but with a twist. I start with my knees bent as I pull up I also bring my knees up as close to my chest as I can.
Time Working Out.
22 minutes Core Stretching and Calisthenics Workout. 9 minutes Push-up Workout. 4 minutes Door Gym Workout. 35 minutes Total.
8:30 am I ate one packet of Cinnamon and Spice Instant Oatmeal and one slice of buttered whole wheat toast.
1:30 pm I ate a third pound cheeseburger with grilled onions and two slices of tomato, the rest of the tomato and a small serving of French Fries.
5:30 pm I ate one and a half Country pork ribs, baked , about six ounces, a cup of corn and a small helping of potatoes au gratin, about three-fourths of a cup.
This is where the weight loss and lean muscle-building may seem to be working against each other. Muscle weighs more than fat, it’s entirely possible to burn fat and gain weight when working out. There may also be no change in weight, muscle built may equal fat burned, but since takes up more space than the same weight of muscle you will be smaller and both look and feel better.
My weight was 179 pounds, six down, nine to go!
