All You Need To Know About A Good Ab Exercise Routine

By Gerald Holt

Forget all that hype you see on TV every night while you are lounging on the couch with your bowl of snacks and your drink----the hype I'm talking about are all the trumped up ads about magical devices that work your abs while you sleep, produce fabulous 6 pack abs while you are grocery shopping, and get you in shape with no effort on your part. Right. Couldn't be farther from the truth. Perfect abs and strong core muscles need to be worked and worked hard, and to do that you need a good ab exercise routine.

Just doing exercises isn't enough----not by a long shot. You must have the right exercises, of course; but you also need a sound nutritional plan in place to support your ab exercise routine, and you must be positive about what you are doing and keep that positivity the whole time you are working out. Over a period of time, your core strength and endurance with definitely increase.

For a correct ab exercise routine to work like it is designed to, you must follow guidelines that have been proven to work and work well. The idea is to choose exercises from the plethora of exercises that are out there for ab strengthening; and do 3-5 of them, alternating them on a daily basis, and performing them 3-5 times per week. You will find your body responding after a time, and as you become more comfortable with the routine, you can increase the reps as you become more proficient. Choose exercises you like and are comfortable with; vary your routine over the coming months, and that way you can ward off boredom or failure.

It's your choice which kind of an ab exercise routine you want to follow; and once you decide on your comfort zone, then you can look at some of the exercises offered and pick the ones you like the most so you will stick with them. Exercises like weighted curls with medicine balls, side bends with dumbbells, medicine ball situps, or cable crunches, to mention just a few.

One of the biggest factors in making a good ab exercise program work is sticking with it. Commitment is a big deal here, as with any exercise program; and if you have a goal of great 6 pack abs in mind, and you start out but can't follow through, then it won't work. You need to make a pact with yourself to be committed to the program, which ever one you choose; and stick with it. Combine good nutrition and a positive mindset with your exercises, and commit yourself to succeeding; then you will have the look you want in no time.

In any ab exercise routine it is imperative that your nutritional intake be supportive of what you are doing exercise-wise, because without a sound nutritional base, your body cannot perform at its peak, and you will find you run out of energy fast. Stay away from junk foods, and those fad food plans you see on TV; keep your eye on good, sound, nutritionally dense natural foods that complement the exercises you are putting your muscles through. Keep a positive mindset for life: this is very important because many folks fail when they do not have this mindset.

Getting the great set of abs that you want is not an impossible feat, if you just follow the guidelines that the professionals have set for a good ab exercise routine and all that goes with it. With the right exercises, good food, and a positive outlook; the most fabulous set of abs on the planet can be yours. - 17273
