Six Best Ab Exercises For Ripped Abs

By Nolan Stokes

Here's the six best ab exercises for ripped abs :

1. Crunches.

While crunches have their critics, this basic exercise when done correctly can be highly effective for developing your upper abs. The upper abs are fairly easy to get ripped, and the convenience and straightforwardness of crunches makes this one of the 6 best ab exercises.

2. Leg Raises.

The most recalcitrant part of the gut to outline are the lower abs. This is where leg raises come in. They in particular work those lower abs. By doing leg raises you isolate and work the lower portion while not allowing the higher abs to assist in doing any of the work.

3. Side Crunches.

There are different adaptations to side crunches, but once you get comfortable with the change that works for you, your obliques ( side abdominal muscles ) will be on their way to getting ripped.

4. Hanging Knee Raises.

These are excellent for working your lower and side oblique muscles and are a great variation to standard on the floor abdominal exercises.

5. Elbow to Knee Crunches.

These are great as you are working your lower and upper abs at the same time. Plus it's extraordinarily easy to do, simply crunching up with your hands behind your head and elbows extended straight, while simultaneously bringing your knees toward you body to touch the elbows.

6. Twisted Elbow to Knee Crunches.

Out of the 6 best ab exercises, this one's my favourite and one of the most effective ever. Because you are doing a standard crunch, and bringing your knees toward you to touch with your elbows you are working both your lower and upper abs. Now, throw a twist into the mix ( twist to touch your elbow to the opposite knee ) you are also employing your oblique muscles, making this an all around ab exercise, good for those with some time, needing to get a healthy exercise in to work the abs. - 17273
