John Alvino states that to aid your pursuit, you can naturally produce the fat burning hormone in your body called Growth Hormone. He declares that recent studies have shown that by raising the levels of GH you not only bring your body fat levels down but muscle and bone mass increase. The ideal scanrio for you if you are going for ripped abs.

So how do we kick start this GH in our bodies? First of all you want to up the intensity of your workouts. Go hell for leather and leave nothing in the tank. I am not saying you have to lift unrealistic weights. Simply have your routine mapped out and go for it. You want your workout to last for 50 minutes at the maximum, no longer.

The main point is to cram as much as possible into your 50 minutes to get the full benefit from it. Any routine over this timeframe tends to have a detrimental effect on your muscles. Keep one eye on the clock as go about your exercise regime.

To get the most out of your 50 minute workout you are going to have to cut down your recovery time in between exercises. 60-90 seconds is ample then get back into it. If you can get to the magical fifty minute mark and be absolutely spent, you have done the deed as far as your six pack abs go.

At the completion of your workout it is advised to do some sprint work to maximise your GH levels. The recommended session is 6 x 30 second sprints which will cause your GH to spike significantly and bring your goal of getting ripped abs even closer.
