Using Abs Workouts That Actually Work

By Howard Devito


There's always a demand for the latest and greatest abs workouts, with so many people wanting to see improvements in this section. Almost everybody is anxious to have great looking abs, which is why there are so many diets and workouts dedicated to this area. However, we can only fit in a certain number of exercises, so at some point we have to decide which ones are most important. If you're not sure where to start with your abs workouts, this article will provide you with some helpful recommendations.

You can find all kinds of newfangled abs machines, but the Captain's Chair remains one of the most effective. This is something you can buy, but most people use them at the gym. Doing a leg raise on the Captain's Chair can be a great foundational exercise for your abs workout. Grip the handholds in a firm but relaxed manner and stand straight. Raise your knees towards your chest, keeping your back supported by the pad. Do this in a smooth, controlled motion, and don't swing the legs. If you can do 3 sets of 10 reps of this exercise using proper form, you're bound to see results. Be careful to maintain control and proper form at all times, and your back should be straight but not arched. The bicycle can be done on the floor or on a mat just about anywhere, and is very beneficial for the abs. Lie on your back and interlace your fingers behind your head to start. Raise both your shoulders and knees off the ground. Raise your right elbow to the left knee, and straighten out your right leg. Alternate, as you bring up your other elbow to the opposite knee while straightening the other leg. The idea is to make it a steady bicycling or pedaling movement doing at least 10 repetitions. Don't overdo it, especially at first, and be certain your neck isn't being strained.

Doing too many exercises for the abs can be as bad as doing too few. People are often in such a hurry to get six-pack abs that they focus too much on this one muscle group. If you focus too much on the abdominals, you end up neglecting other muscle groups that are equally important. Neither your abs nor the rest of your body do well with a routine that's not well rounded. Doing strictly abs exercises also doesn't do much to help you shed pounds, which is necessary to make your ab muscles more visible. Your abs will do better in the long run if you give equal attention to all of your other muscle groups, as well as aerobic fitness.

One of the best things you can use for exercising is a mini trampoline. There are many reasons for this. Not only are they compact and portable, but they allow you to accomplish a great deal by doing a few simple exercises. When using a trampling, you are causing your core muscles to get quite a workout, along with your abs. When you have a strong back, and abdominal muscles that are exercised every day, your balance will be better, and you will be less prone to back injuries. Mini trampolines don't really replace other types of exercise, but jumping on one for even a few minutes every day can make a big difference in your results.

Now you know what you can do to start building your abdominal muscles. Using a combination of the overall fitness strategies we have presented, plus ab workouts, you will definitely get there. You can do a lot of these exercises at the gym, but likewise achieve similar results at home. As long as you target many different areas of your body when exercising, it will help your abs build much faster by doing so.
