The Most Effective Abs Workouts You Can do

By Belia Olszowka


You can find lots of information on abs workouts, whether you look online, in your local bookstore or in fitness magazines. If you want to succeed with your fitness goals, you need to choose exercises that will help you attain them.

If you really want to exercise your entire body thoroughly, Kettlebells are the way to go. These focus on core muscles, which means that you will get well defined abs as a result of using them.

In order to lose fat and build muscle, it's best to do both aerobic and strength training exercises. It is possible to do this if you use Kettlebells regularly. If you've never used kettlebells, you may want to buy a set and watch some videos that demonstrate how to use them. Going to a fitness center with a class on kettlebells might also be helpful in figuring out what to do. It is recommended that you start with very light weights when doing kettlebells workouts. This will make this exercise is safe as possible. The basic crunch is probably the best known exercise for the abdominal muscles, and most people are familiar with it. You need to lie on your back, and put your hands behind your head - this is how you begin. This exercise basically includes lifting your shoulder blades toward your chest off the floor. Never move your legs while you are in motion. One other exercise focuses on the rectus abdominis muscles. It is called the reverse crunch which targets the lower abdominal muscle group. You simply bring your knees toward your chest at a 90? angle, raising both the shoulders and the hips. So if you really want to build your abs, regular and reverse crunches can definitely help. Remember not to do too many of these exercises - your results will not increase or improve by doing more.

To simultaneously lose fat and build muscle mass, using a combination of strength training exercises and aerobics can help. It is possible to do this if you use Kettlebells regularly. The best way to go about this is to watch a video. This will show you how to use kettlebells if they are new to you. To use kettle balls effectively, you should visit a fitness center. They may have classes on how to use them each day of the week. It is recommended that you start with very light weights when doing kettlebells workouts. This will make this exercise is safe as possible. You don't need a bicycle or even an exercise bike to do the bicycle exercise for your abs. Lie on your back and interlace your fingers behind your head to start. Next, bring your shoulder blades and knees off the floor. Raise your right elbow to the left knee, and straighten out your right leg. Then do the reverse, bringing your other elbow to the opposite knee and keeping your right leg straight. You don't want the motion to be jerky, but pretend you're on a bicycle and imagine that you're pedaling as you do around ten reps of the exercise. Be careful not to strain your neck muscles when you do the bicycle exercise.

If there's one exercise that everyone should add to their abdominal routine, it's the plank. This is a strength building exercise for your whole core and is one well worth doing. Keep your hands and arms on the floor or mat in the start-off position, with your face down. Raise your body up onto your toes and elbows, keeping your back and rear end flat. Hold for as long as you can, building up to sixty seconds and then lower yourself to the ground. As with any exercise, it doesn't matter where you start, but if you practice you'll be able to hold the position longer. Don't let yourself get overwhelmed by all the different systems and theories regarding abs workouts. As long as you consistently exercise in a way that combines aerobics and strength training, and target your abs as well, you'll see results. Doing a few good basic abs exercises such as planks, crunches and the bicycle will do a lot for your abs, as long as you also have good eating habits.
