Best Ab Exercises - Quickly See Dynamite Results

By Aldo Clayton

Everybody wants their midsection to look good. If your abs are not in good shape, you're nobody, at least to some. While a slim, muscled midsection looks great, it'll look even better on a body which is well toned all around. Incorporate ab exercises into your routine for good looking abs - and a nice looking body!

There are essentially a few good ab exercises out there. If you try one and it's not for you, just move on, there's a load more to choose between. Each exercise works better for some folk than others. You could have to try several before finding some which you like. And naturally, your abs still get a session irrespective of which one you select.

1. Stationary Bike Crunches - Now while crunches can't do the job alone, they are beneficial. Bicycle crunches employ all your ab muscle regions : rectus abdominal, lower abdominal and oblique abs. Do this exercise lying on the floor, back rounded and hands behind the neck to avoid straining yourself. Your upper abs will be engaged, and your lower abs will come into action as you lift your knees up to form a 90 degree angle. Move the other knee to the center of your body while moving the opposite elbow to your knee. Alternate sides for one full count every time.

2. Kickboxing and self-defense skills - You can do classes at the gym or try using TaeBo tapes. The pulling down motions of your arms and the upward motion of your legs is like doing a crunch standing up! Kickboxing uses all your abdominal muscles helping your full body burn fat. All the movements you will do are done with your abs tightened ; this may help you keep balance for a better workout.

3. Torso Twists - A body twist tightens your abs as you move from side to side briefly rapid movements. You need to do this one right to actually benefit your abs. Broomstick twists are done by standing and doing a sweeping motion first on one side, then the other. Stand with bent knees and arms extended on either side. Attempt to keep your hips still as you do the exercise. You want to make your abs do the work here. - 17273
