What is the quickest way to add pairs of edge loops? I need to create many pairs of edge loops on different objects. The way I do this is shown in the animation below. 

There is a further step I often do which is moving the edge loop using its transform value in the properties panel, to ensure they are always same distance apart.

Is there an easier way to add the same number of edge loops again to the side of the original 3 loops?

Ctrl+B to start beveling
Scroll up on the mouse wheel to increase the segments to 2
