Six Pack Training Lying on the Heavy Bag

I hope everyone knows by now, that if you want a six pack, you must

watch your diet, reduce calories to reveal muscle under your fat

layers (if any), and do some stomach exercises to develop your

abdominal muscles. With regards to the diet, sorry but its a slow and

mind blowing process where you eat tasteless foods half the time and

try to resist the tasteful ones. With regards to the exercises, there

aren't many you have to do. Just five or six will do. 20 reps each, 3

sets per exercise and your well on your way. But one way in which the

muscle will be developed more quickly and so will surrounding muscles

of the abdominals is by training whilst lying on a heavy punch bag.

Nearly every gym in the world has them so finding one shouldn't be a

problem. The idea is, when you perform your exercises lying on the

bag, because its round, you will have to balance yourself to quite an

extent so as it does not slide away from under you. By training this

way you will notice that it will be much harder to do your exercises

and you will be performing them much stricter so as you don't fall,

forcing your abdominals to work harder. The basic crunch will become a

workout that works more than just your upper abdominals as a slight

twist in your arm or training to fast will throw you completely off

balance. Reverse sit ups (lying on the bag and bringing your knees to

your chest, and down again) are the worst for me. My balance goes

everywhere with this one. It takes time to learn the balance required

to train like this but it is extremely beneficial. Obviously you need

a bag which is big enough for you to lie on but as I said, a lot of

gyms have them, and if you train at a martial art school, it should

definitely have one. For grapplers, the balance you can pick up by

training on the bag like this is priceless. After a while, your

groundwork will be much smoother, and you will be finding it easier to
