OK, OK, you might have known they existed, but I bet you did not realize that they work the abs. That is because the best exercises for men who want to work their abs are weight lifting exercises. Why? Because getting a great set of abs is all about building muscle and burning fat and, fortunately, muscle burns fat. This is because muscle weighs more than fat and the body must work harder to carry itself throughout the day.But, let us take a look at this more closely. To lose a pound of ab obscuring fat you need to burn 3,500 calories. Typical ab workouts do not burn anywhere near this amount. In fact, when you consider that the average person only burns 2,000 calories in an average day, you can see how little sit ups and crunches do to reach your goals.To burn these kind of calories we are going to do exercises that are referred to as compound or multi joint exercises. These work multiple muscle groups at the same time. Now there are plenty of compound exercises and different types of equipment to do them. One of my favorite of these exercises is the clean and jerk where you lift a barbell from the floor to above your head. This works your entire body and your abs too because it...more

Your PC (pubococcygeus) muscles are the target here; these are the muscles that are also called pelvic floor muscles. Their main purpose in both sexes is to hold your bladder and urethra in collaboration with sphincter muscles to make sure urine is held tight and that there is no leakage. First you identify by stopping urination or by inserting your finger into your vagina or your anus and trying to squeeze. This contraction is the PC muscle. You can contract them anywhere at anytime - during sex, while sitting, walking etc.Exercises are important so as to avoid accidental leaks of urine or loss of other sensations around the pelvic area. In women its important to build the exercise as these muscles assist the bladder; bowel and the uterus stay in place. Pregnancy, aging and obesity tend to exert too much pressure and weaken these muscles.After identifying, get moving and start a slow squeeze from your baseline. Squeeze as hard as you can and hold for 4-5 seconds then release. Be attentive and feel the sensation when you break. Hold your breath after each squeeze. You may not feel much being your first time but as you progress you will see the change.Push the exercise higher again,...more
