Are you looking for an effective abs workout to get you a
set of nice ripped abs? In today's world, both men and women
place abs as one of the most sought-after item that they want
for their body. It is, however, the hardest area of the entire
body to train, because fat always comes off this area last.
There are many good ab exercises to help you accomplish this,
but you must first know that working out your abs alone will
not give you nice looking abs.
What Are Some Examples Of Good Ab Exercises?
Knee Ups
Start by sitting on a bench, and put your hands at the side
of the bench. Put your legs out and pull them inwards towards
your chest. Hold for about two seconds before putting your
legs out again to complete one rep of this exercise. Each set
of this exercise consists of about 24 reps.
Crunches
This is a common ab exercise that is suitable for
beginners. Start by lying on the floor with your feet facing
downwards on the floor. Put your hands behind your head and
bend your knees slightly. Slowly contract your stomach muscles
and raise your head towards your chest. Hold for 1 or 2
seconds before lowering your head back down again to complete
one rep. Each set should consist of about 30 reps.
Hanging Leg or Knee Raises
This is a very effective exercise that is more challenging
to perform. Start by holding onto an overhead chin-up bar with
both your hands at shoulder width apart. Bring your legs
upwards towards your head while keeping your back straight.
Lower your legs back down to finish one rep. Each set should
contain 8 - 10 reps.
Conclusion
The above exercises should strengthen and tone your abs
within a few weeks. However, if you really want a set of
ripped abs, you will also need to build up some lean muscle in
your body (to increase metabolism), do interval training to
burn fat and eat the right diet.
