The Very Best Ab Workouts You Can Do?

By Donald Petersen


Most people want to find an ab workout that will help them lose weight while also helping them gain six pack abs. When you see fitness experts on TV or in videos try to remember that those people are models or trainers who devote most of their days to exercise and did not achieve those bodies via a few minutes of exercise each day. However, you can achieve some impressive results if you do some solid ab workouts, such as the ones we'll be talking about in this article, at least a few times per week.

Some of the best abdominal workouts don't need equipment and the best place to do them is your own home. Riding a bike is one of these. Sure you can ride a real bike or one of the stationary bicycles at the gym but you can also do some very effective mimicking while you are at home. Simply lay down on your floor or, better still on an exercise mat. Your hands go behind your head, your knees bend at a forty five degree angle and then you simply do the same motion that you would do while pedaling a bicycle while touching one elbow to the opposite knee. Do this exercise slowly first and then build up the speed of your repetitions over time.

If you want to find a super effective abdominal workout, you need to check out the Captain's Chair exercise. This requires a piece of equipment that you can find in most gyms or you can purchase for your home. Grab the handles of the chair, square your back against the support and pull your knees up to your chest while keeping them bent. There are a lot of variations you can raise your knees at different angles but you can start with the basic movements. Fitness experts agree that, as far as your abdominal muscles are concerned, this is one of the best things you can do.

When you work your abs you can also do leg lifts. Fitness experts agree that, as far as your abdominal muscles are concerned, this is one of the best things you can do. To do a leg lift all you need to do is start out with your arms palm side down on the floor or mat. Bending your legs a little bit, raise them up as high as you can, hold them for a couple of seconds and then lower them back down. At first it might be difficult for you to raise your legs very high but if you keep working at it you'll raise them higher eventually and raising them any little bit at all can help.

In summary, you should choose ab exercises that aren't super hard for you to do because you will be a lot more motivated to keep doing them. Don't forget, to truly be effective, exercise must be done consistently. There's nothing bad about doing one type of exercise for a while and then changing things up every few months in fact, this can often be quite beneficial. The most important thing here is to find something that works, whether it is an ab workout discussed in this article or something else.

Furthermore, you can also add variety of gym equipment like Bench Press in your fitness training routine, it can help boosts your physical health and fitness much easier as well as to ensure a much healthy workout in a rapid way. As long as you keep learning, you will naturally move into other areas. What matters most is that you exercise at least a few times every week.
