Killer Abs: Top Gym Workouts

By Jose R. Farino

Looking for some good gym workouts for your abs? There are so many different approaches to take, and gimmicks out there, it can be hard to determine the best gym workouts for your abdominal muscles.

Remember to work your upper abs, lower abs, and obliques. If you don't work them all out, you will end up with uneven muscle tone. Crunches, side crunches, and sit ups are good to make sure you are working out all the ab muscles.

Captain's Chair should be done at the gym with a machine. It is one of the most effective gym workouts for the abs. Start with legs dangling and slowly lift your knees in toward your chest. The motion should be controlled and deliberate as you bring your knees up and return them back to the starting position.

Reverse Crunches lift the legs up to the torso rather than lifting the torso to the knees. This will work to strengthen the lower abs.

Reverse Crunches are like regular crunches except they should be done by lifting the knees into the chest, rather than the chest up to the knees.

Vertical Leg Crunches will help strengthen the lower abs, and help women get rid of the pooch associated with pregnancy. Lift the legs straight into the air while lifting the head and shoulders off the ground toward the torso.

Ab Crunches with an Exercise Ball will give regular ab crunches more uumph. These should be done the same way as regular crunches, while sitting on an exercise ball.

If you focus on all of the gym workouts for your abs, you will definitely notice improvement in the abdominal area, but you should also consider the diet you are eating to make sure you are burning fat to uncover those toned ab muscles. - 17273
