The Three Best Ab Crushing Workouts

Lets be honest, nobody likes doing ab workouts. Even though many individuals complain about not having a six-pack, the same individuals complain about doing these workouts that will help you get a six-pack. These three ab workouts should help any individual get the six-pack that they personally want.

The first ab workout I will discuss is known as the Russian Twist.
  • First lay down on the floor and bend your legs at the knees and make sure to not move your feet during the exercise.
  • Elevate your upper body so that it creates an imaginary V-shape with your thighs. Make sure your arms are fully extended in front of you and your hands are clasped.
  • Then twist your torso to the right until your arms are parallel with the floor while breathing out.
  • Hold the contraction for a second and then move to the starting position and then move to the opposite side.
  • Then repeat for the x amount of repetitions

 The next ab workout that I'm going to show you is called Side Jackknifes.
  • Start by lying on your right side and keeping your left leg over your right one.
  • Place your right hand in a comfortable spot and clasp your left hand on your head.
  • Then bring your torso and left leg toward each other as you pull with your obliques.
  • Then squeeze for a moment and return to the starting position.
  • If you would like, you can add ankle weights to make it tougher.

The last ab workout that I'm going to show you today is known as The Plank.
  • First lay on your stomach.
  • Then hold yourself up using both elbows in the prone position and hold the position as long as you can.
  • You can have someone add a weight on your back or wear a weighted vest to make it tougher.

Hopefully adding these ab workouts into your training will make you look forward to working out this muscle group. To get the ideal six-pack, it takes a lot of dedication, patience, and determination because they just don't pop up over night. Next week we will discuss the other types of workouts that revolve around the other muscle group that many individuals don't like doing either, and that's legs! Get ready to squat!
