I am currently working on building up my ab muscles to make them lean and attractive. What are some really good tips and workouts besides traditional crunches.
10 situps
10 V-ups (Touch your hands to your toes, but crunch your body so that they meet midway in the air)
10 lemon squeezers (Position yourself sitting up, put hands at side, and move your torso back into a laying position while extending your legs straight ahead. Now just row your legs to a bend while crunching toward them w/ your torso, then go back to laying position. repeat process)
10 back hypers (lay on stomach, basically a reverse cruncher)
10 Leg lifts (Lay on back, lift straight legs to 45 degree angle, then bring back to ground)
30 seconds of bicycles (Lay on ground, and mimick a bicycle pedal motion w/ your legs)
10 side crunchers each side
10 regular crunchers
30 seconds of flutter kicks (Lay on back, keep both legs straight. Lift them up bairly, now alternate between raising each leg a little bit and brining it back down. This one is tought at first, but after a week it will be easy. Try to think of being a swimmer while doing this one)
10 kick ups (Lay down, bring knees up toward chest, then kick legs upward to become straight in the air.)
10 side double leg lifts (Hard to explain, basically lay on side, and lift both legs simultaneously as high as you can. Will feel weird at first)
10 Forward Rows (Way too hard to explain, google it)
10 Russian Twists (Google it)
10 Scissor Kicks (Lay on back, spread leags apart in air, bring them back to center with one leg above the other, then alternate to mimick a scissor kicking action)
Finish with a bridge for however long you think you can do it.
Once this routine becomes easy, don’t up the reps, just do the whole routine twice. (Left a few out for explanation’s sake)
Then also do your run at night. Cut excessive fat out of your diet, but you can have a little still.
but remember…this exercise will not work if your diet is not good…
you must cut out all BAD fat and ALL SUGARS!!maybe not natural sugars but no fruit juice such as apple,orange juice…just try hard and you will get there..
abs are built in the kitchen not the gym….but for this Q well pretend you have a low enough body fat level to have ur abs seen…..try partner assited leg throws…where you lay on your back lifting your legs to their chest (they stand behind you, and you grip their calves) they throw your legs down, and you try to resist…..its a killer and im in decent shape…. habging leg raises are the best (ive read…but u need to be in really good shape.) i like roaman twists with a medicine ball………basically anything that you can not do more then 25 times with strict form is ideal….GL
