When Ab Exercises Are Effective... Easy To Do @ Home
Ab Exercises are a very important part of ab development great abs.
When I use the terms
"personalize your abdominal exercises," what I mean is find which exercise feels the most comfortable for you. One that you can really connect with, you like not despise, and you can do many of.
Read My Words....If you think your going to pop a magic pill without changing your diet or workout regimen to lose weight, what you need to understand is...DIET PILLS ALONE WILL NOT WORK! I talk more about this on my
Diet Pills page.
In many cases we tend to try the hardest exercises from the very beginning thinking the harder the exercise the more effective it's going to be and this couldn't be further from the truth.
This is important because the abs need to be developed. Development comes with higher repetition not the difficulty of the exercise.
Lets use running as an analogy. It's better to run 2 miles in 20 minutes which, is less difficult, than running 1 mile in six.
But the guy running 2 miles in 20 is getting more physical conditioning and better physical benefit.. The same concept goes with abs...it's not the difficulty that makes the workout effective...it's the repetition.
The Most Effective Ab Exercises To Do @ Home
Ab Crunches
are one of the most popular of the ab exercises. people put off this particular exercise until the very end of the workout routine...I have to say I can't blame them. Abs are my least favorite muscles to work...and who feels like working out when their ab muscles are screaming. Anyway lets take a look at the ins and outs of ab crunches.
The
Seated Ab Crunch is a great low cost ab exercise. Sit on the edge of you chair as shown in the example. Grip the sides of the seat with your hands. Lean back and extend you legs. Bend your knees and slowly raise your legs toward your chest.
3 sets x 10 reps.

Many people forget how effective a regular
Hula-Hoop can be for working your abs. Trying doing continues hula-hooping for about 10 to 15 minutes straight. I usually do about three songs. Very effective, cheap, and fun ab exercise here.
The
Swiss Ball Superman While lying facedown over your Swiss Ball make sure your hips are pressed against the ball and you torso is curved over it. Make sure you elbows are 90 degrees and your fingers are pointing forward and elbows are back. Slowly extend your back until you chest is completely off the ball.

Seated Twist Sit on the floor with your back straight while leaning slightly towards the floor. Bend your knees 90 degrees with you feet slightly apart and resting on the floor. Hold the ball close to you chest, rotate your torso to the left and place the ball on the floor behind you. Rotate around to the right pick up the ball, rotate left, and place the ball behind you.
Remember: A good resistance workout routine for abs is great... but
Diet and
Cardio are just as important.
