The Best Abs exercises
Jul 13th, 2008 | By admin | Category: Exercises and FitnessSix pack abs is one of the prime attention grabber on a man’s body. Here is an article which will make getting the best six pack abs ever, as simple as possible. You heard it right, building abdominal muscles can be a much easier task if you incorporate these exercises in your weight loss and fat burn regime. You do not have to alter what you have been exercising but include this in the routine. These are basic abdominal exercises which have been researched keeping in mind the needs of a normal human, and the muscle group. Provided you have maintained a healthy diet routine along with cardiovascular exercises, a six pack should not be far away.
The Moves for the perfect Pack :
- Abdominal Training : Get Down on your knees and draw your belly button inwards while keeping your back straight thereby locking up your TVA muscles (Tranverse Abdominals). Then take deep breaths through your nose and mouth for about 10-15 minutes. This simple exercise will build back stability and improve your posture. Even backaches will be reduced. Pose your self more confidently now.
- Hanging Knee Raise : With an overhand grip, hang from a chinning bar with arms shoulder-width apart. Stick your feet together and using the abdominals muscles, raise your feet in an arc so that they are in line with your hands. At the top of this movement, pause and then slowly lower your feet. Do 2 sets of about 15 to 20 reps each. For advanced trainers, use light dumbells between the ankles. These will exercise your lower abs nicely.
- Oblique Crunch : Obliques are muscles beside the midsection abdominals and equally important for a overall six pack look. Lie on the right side and prop up your upper body with the right elbow, forearm on the ground. Feet together, raise your pelvis and create a straight line from your feet to the head. Raise a weight in your left hand until its parallel to your shoulders and after a pause, lower them slowly. Do 15 to 20 reps and increase weight with time. This adds stability to your body along with burning fat from the sides.
- The Body Dish : Work up your obliques and TVA with this. Lie on the back with arms and legs stretched out. Lock the TVA and with hands and feet together, bring your arms and legs towards each other. Pause when both are about 30 degrees from the floor and then release to the starting postition but don’t touch the floor. Conditions your upper body to work and coordinate better.
- Crunches: These hardly need an introduction. Lie on your back and prop up your legs with knees arched and pointed upwards. Lock your arms behind the neck and then raise your upper body towards your thighs, touching your shoulders to the thighs. Do maximum repetitions in three sets. If done consistently, these will boost your six pack abs program by bringing quicker results. Other alterations are doing the 90 degree sittup or using an abdominal board.
These five exercises will maximise your fat burning regimen from the abs, giving you the best abs with a month or less.
