Get Awesome Abs Before Summer

Exercising is one of my daily activities. I go to the gym a least five times a week and work out at home on the weekends. I work out my abs every other day. I do several exercises to form pack six abs. I diet regularly in order to have a healthy body and strong abs. You may not know, but there are many abs exercises. Just to get you started working on getting awesome abs. You can start out at home or go to a local gym. Here are some examples of abs exercises. You can purchase an exercise ball at your local store. Instead of doing crunches on the floor, lie over an exercise ball and squeeze your abs as you lift your shoulders. You’ll challenge your abs in a whole new way while also working other muscles in your body, like your legs and butt. With the ball your can do exercises like back rotation stretch, back extensions, push ups, abdominals/obliques, trunk curls, ab extension rolls, ab front extensions, and side abs extensions. you can purchase a bicycle for cycling. Cycling is ranked as the best abs exercise by the American Council on exercise, because it uses every muscle in your abs to create awesome abs. Make sure you pull your abs in and keep them contracting throughout the movement to protect your back. The plank is another great exercise that you can use to exercise your abs as well as the muscles of your back. Position yourself a though you’re about to do a pushup and hold that position, making your body into one long, straight line from head to toe. The reverse crunch is great for working your obliques and it helps you target the lower portion of your abs as well. There are many ways to do reverse crunches, but one of the best is to put an exercise ball under your knees. Make sure you contract your abs and use them to lift your hips off the floor. It’s a very small movement and you shouldn’t swing or use momentum. Incline sit-ups are another very affective way to strengthen your abs. You do not have to join a gym or health club. Just take a piece of plywood or a two by twelve and lay it on a block or something about a foot off the floor. Lie on your back and do three sets of ten about three to four times a week. You can also put flat weights on your belly to give you a little added weight. As your body gets used to the work out just add more weight. As you have read, there are many abs exercises you can do at home, work, or at the gym without taking a lot of your time.
