Get Ripped at Home

When most people try to get ripped, they end up doing lots of crunches, sit ups, and other "isolation" ab exercises.

But I have a way that you can lose fat all in the comfort of your own home. And it doesn't require you to do endless crunches or lots of cardio.

If you have less than 20 lbs of fat to lose, then you can easily start to see your abs within 3 months. The key is to use compound exercises and perform workouts at a high intensity level. Since we're training at home, all of your exercises will be bodyweight movements.
There will be two portions of your workout: strength and cardio. For the strength training portion, choose 3-6 exercises that target your entire body and perform them as a full circuit. I usually like to choose 2 Upper Body, 2 Lower Body, and 2 Core exercises.

For the cardio portion of the workout, focus on high intensity interval training. Most people tend to do lots of aerobic workouts that last 60 minutes at a time. Instead, focus on high intensity workouts that last just 10-20 minutes. For those that don't know what interval training is, let me explain:

Interval training is where you alternate between periods of high intensity training and low intensity or active rest periods. For example, you can sprint all out for 30 seconds, followed by a 60 second break.Repeat this sequence 8-10 times for a fast fat burning workout. "Experts" also claim that it is not safe to lose more than 2 pounds in a week. Well, that's not true. The truth is that you can lose more than 2 pounds per week, safely. But the main idea is that you don't "kill" yourself will training. In other words, make sure that you're eating and sleeping well. This is the only way you'll recover from your high intensity workouts.
