Perfect six pack method
The first thing that comes to mind when I picture abdominal exercises is someone laying on the ground with the feet flat and knees bent, struggling to sit up. Then laying back down and struggling to sit up again. While sit-ups are a good abdominal workout, there are so many more options. Crunches are more popular than sit-ups. Instead of sitting all the way up, you simple lift your head and shoulders off of the mat. It is less strenuous on your back that way and also an easier exercise to perform. It is important to focus on using your abdominal muscles to reach your head and neck up, otherwise your abs aren’t getting much of a workout.
You can do crunches in all kinds of variations. Lay your knees down to either side to focus on working out the side muscles of your stomach. Lift your knees up at a 90 degree angle to work out your lower abdominal muscles. Crunches are probably one of the most versatile and popular abdominal exercises. You can also take crunches up a notch when you do them while balancing on an inflatable exercise ball. In order to keep from rolling away and falling off the ball you will have to activate more of your muscles. So this gives you more bang for your buck as you work out. In addition, most gyms have several types of abdominal machines where you can add resistance to your crunches to build up your strength.
