24-HOUR ABS: BREAK-IN PHASE

Complete the Break-In Phase if you have 30 pounds or more to lose. This phase starts with a series of static stretches, dynamic stretches, and calisthenics. This is called metabolic ramping. The idea is that you start slow and “ramp up”—so that your muscles are primed for peak performance by the time you begin the main event. This pre-workout routine also addresses the postural and mobility problems that plague the average guy. During the Break-In Phase’s workout, you’ll build strength and muscle, so that you can use heavier weight and do more work in the phases to come. Perform the workout two days a week, resting at least one day between sessions.
