Best Ab Exercises? Get Hot Abs with These Popular Abdominal Exercises

                

>>  Be Sure That You Will Never Get Six Pack Abs Unless You Know These Strategies <<

 

Looking for six pack abs to improve your appearance but don't know where to start?
These six pack stomach exercises aren't incredibly difficult, but they are very
important (and very specific) because your goal is so defined. The following three
exercises are some of the best ab exercises for those wishing to get six pack abs,
so take good notes!

Crunches are where you lay flat on the floor with the exception
of your knees that must be bent. Alternate moving each arm over your chest while
feeling your abdominal muscles tightening up and possibly burning to get the full
effect. These are widely considered to be the best six pack stomach exercises, but
there are others that can achieve your goal. However, six pack stomach exercises
should be rotated on a regular basis.

Lying Bicycles are when you are lying supine on the floor with
your legs raised at the hips and hands beside your head. Bending your right leg
at the knee while pulling your right thigh up at the hip along with curling your
spine will achieve the goal. Just as you may have been able to glean by reading
the title, this exercise should make you appear to be riding a bicycle while lying
in the floor.

Seated Jackknife exercises are when you are sitting flat on
a bench with your legs extended in front of you with your upper body at a 45 degree
angle to the bench. Fold your body by bringing your legs in and curling your spine
forward and bend your knees as you raise your legs inward. Hold the position for
a moment and then return to the original position.

Don't believe that doing six pack stomach exercises one day will create a six
pack the next day, it is definitely a process! Just keep in mind that this is a
major goal for you and you wanted it so bad in the beginning. These integral six
pack stomach exercises are a great first step, but there are more to come, stay
motivated!

The Mindset

What has the mind got to do with losing weight?

Psychology has a lot to do with loosing weight. You can have all the information of how to lose weight, but if your mentality is not right, then it becomes futile.

The right mindset will give you motivation, dedication, perseverance and help you to avoid temptation and distractions. You will stay focused and achieve your goals. Self belief is an important element in the whole process. You must believe that you can lose weight and get a flat tummy and sexy six pack abs. It is all in the mind. Think positive.

The moment you conquer the mental aspect in your weight loss endeavour, only then you can achieve anything you put your mind on. It is easier said than done. Discipline is another important factor that that will determine if you’re going to be successful or not.

The mind

The mind is like a processor in a computer. It controls your thoughts and actions and influences your behaviour. As we enter different phases of our lives we develop along the way, habits and different mannerisms that control our lives. Over time your subconscious controls various actions which you might be unaware of. People that struggle to lose weight might have habits that hinder their weight loss. These stumbling blocks can be removed if you can develop a strong mentality. People with strong minds can take control of their subconscious and change bad habits or formed associations. The mind is a very powerful tool if utilized correctly. There is quote that goes like this: “A mind is a terrible thing to waste”.

Re-program the mind

As with most things in life … there are no quick fixes. Will power can make a huge difference in your pursuit of weight loss. Think positively. Focus on the good things in life, things that make you happy, things that you enjoy doing.

Set realistic goals. Write it down. Speak it. Associate yourself with positive people. It can and will rub of on you. Encourage and motivate yourself.

The Quick and Easy Way to Tone Up Your Abs - Part 3

All About Abs - Ab Training

Exercises for Variety and Development Step by Step Abdominal Training Explained

Concept 1: How Many Times Per Week to Train Abs

Do you remember hearing somewhere that in order to get the abdominals you want; you've got to train them everyday? I know I heard that from several sources. None of those sources had super ripped abs.

Fact: Many of the people who DO have ripped abs train them 1-3 times per week.

Train your abs 1-3 times per week. I would recommend training them after a smaller body part workout like chest and biceps and abs, or shoulder, triceps and abs. You can do them on your off days as well. Try to avoid doing them with legs as it's a major body part. Try to avoid doing them first as you'll need your stabilizers to be 100% when they are used in other compound exercises.

You probably already know this... your abs can be trained a bit more frequently then most other muscle groups because of two factors:

1. The muscle density is different allowing for different recovery time

2. 99.9% of programs do not encourage you to train abs to muscular failure

You don't want to train abs to muscular failure for the purpose of this guide.

Concept 2: How Many Exercises Per Session

If you're like me, you don't want another session added to your workout that is going to add another 20 minutes to your gym time. But like any other muscle, the abdominals require a bit of stimulation but just enough to grow and change and become stronger.

Unlike other body parts, you won't be doing countless sessions for abs. In fact...

Use 3-5 exercises per session

That's all you really need. Use the schedule listed in this guide or just pick 3 different exercises and do 3-5 different exercises per session. You can vary your rest up to 90 seconds.

You've got to wonder why people train abs by themselves for 30 or more minutes at a time. That's crazy! And most of the people coming out of those "Ab Blaster" classes don't even have abs. They are doing longer sessions for a single muscle group then you ever need to engage in.

Simply put, 3-5 exercises will do just fine.

Concept 3: Using Cardio as A Metabolism Boosting Tool

For maximum fat loss, you should do cardio 4-7 days per week for 30-60 minutes (the amount is variable depending on your results). You could continue running or mix up the type of cardio you do (stationary cycling, stairclimbing, elliptical machines, and other continuous aerobic activities are all excellent fat burners without the high impact and joint stress of frequent running).

If time efficiency is an issue for you, you could perform high intensity interval cardio training and achieve very efficient results with even briefer workouts (20-30 min per sessions, or less, if the intensity is high enough) Once you are satisfied with your level of body fat and your abdominal definition, you can cut back to 3 days per week for 20-30 minutes for maintenance.

Concept 4: Advanced Techniques

Part of this guide is to ensure that you use all the techniques possible in order to achieve the results you want. There are two techniques you can use so that your routine doesn't become 'routine.'

1. Tempo Variation: Another way to increase the effectiveness of the training program is to focus on the tempo of the exercise. Tempo just means the speed of the exercise. For example, a 3-1-1 tempo means you'll take 3 seconds to lower the weight, then you'll pause for 1 second, and then you'll lift the weight back up in 1 second.

2. Variety: It's been said that your body will adapt to any routine within 5-6 workouts. By including many different exercises, it will be impossible to adapt. Not only will your body be continually challenged but the variety will help to ward of getting bored of doing the same things every week, every workout.

3. Multiple Angles: While the abdominals are classified as a 'single' muscle, that doesn't mean you can't work it from a variety of angles in order to achieve the maximum stimulation. Many times an individual will have their upper abdominals developed but are lacking any real "visual" development in the lower abs. Rather then focus on a section of the abdominals, this guide will encourage you to work the muscle from a variety of angles for the best possible stimulation.

Stay tuned for Part 4 that will flat out give you 6 months worth of ab workouts you can do.

Not only are rock hard abs a symbol of fitness, but strong and flexible abdominal muscles help trim your waist and end back pain. Two very important health goals of many who enter an exercise facility. It allows you to move from side to side with stability and control. Men and women want to walk on the beach and show off all their hard work by exposing their abs. From what has been seen in gym and health facilities, it is most worked on muscle group or it is the most neglected. What category do you end up falling into? There are many ways in which you can work you abdominal muscles. There is scientific sequence to effectively shaping and creating great abs.

Most people are stronger in their upper to middle abdominals compared to their lower abdominal muscles. It is recommended that you work your lower abs first since you are freshest and have the most energy to get the most out of your stomach. The abdominal muscles react and provide optimal results visually when performed to failure. Failure occurs when the muscle is thoroughly exhausted and the exercise can no longer be executed. This means you can not do one more painful repetition. Your mid-section should be worked in this manner all the time.

Some examples for lower abs are as follows:

The reverse crunch (using the slant board) - with your hand holding the bars and your legs straight on the floor, raise your knees to your face, while bending your knees, until the fetal position. Then slowly drop your rear end until you touch the board and repeat the exercise.

Leg lifts (performed on the Roman Chair) - Start with your back on the back support and lift your knees/legs to its highest point. Feet should not be allowed to swing behind your rear end at its lowest point for safety and momentum purposes.

Hanging leg raises (performed on the cable machines) - Start by hanging from the middle pull up bar on the cable machines. The hanging leg raise is probably the most result producing stomach exercise since it is generated from the lower abs and then incorporated the upper abs at its peak. It begins by having your feet lift over and above your waist until it reached approximately where your hands are holding on. Remember to keep you body from swinging back and forth. This will cause you to use more stomach muscles and less momentum.

Then proceed to your upper/middle abs to get that desired burn.

The Ab Roller, which is great for upper abdominals and obliques, is great to start with since it promotes safety and immediate results. Exercises utilizing the ball and floor mats are great ways to end a stomach workout. The utility ball allows for maximum stretching to hit all areas of the mid-section.

Since your stomach is considered your smallest muscle, you are able - and recommended to - train them up to 6 days per week. A cardiovascular work out which consist of constant aerobic activity which last for more than 30 minutes at your 80% target heart rate is extremely beneficial and necessary to achieve that ever desired six pack.

Great abs are only obtained through hard work, perseverance and proper form. They are the central point in which your motion begins and ends. In the end, great abs will give you the needed support for your workout and your life.
