Ready for a few good ab workouts to help push your ab workout program over the edge? If that's the case, you're definitely not the only one. Sure the desire to get six pack abs is nearly universal at this point, it's true that most people just don't have a clue when it comes to designing an effective abdominal training routine.
Below I've put together abdominal workout programs that target each of the muscle groups in your abdominal area, ensuring that you'll actually move closer to getting those six pack abs you've always envied.
Before I list the good ab workouts, it's critical that you figure out right up front that it just doesn't matter how you train your abdominal region, if you're not going to pay attention to what you eat. Sure you actually do need to make time for some abdominal training routines in order to build up your abdominal region, you're just not going to be able to see them until you strip away the body fat that's covering them up in the first place! The only way to make this happen is to make a plan to strip off fat all over your body.
If you're ready to strip off fat, you're going to have to pay close attention to what you're taking in every day as well as performing fat burning workouts that target the stronger muscle groups on your body. So definitely be prepared to mix up your diet a bit and commit to working on the big muscle groups on your body like your; legs, back, chest, shoulders etc. Focusing your workouts on the most powerful muscle groups burns more calories witch in turn allows you to cut off more body fat. And the more body fat you can melt off, the more impressive your abdominals will be!
Some Good Ab Workouts
I really think that the abdominal workout programs listed below are all you really need in order to carve out ripped abs. If you focus most of your efforts on your diet and hard and heavy workouts and you also make it a priority to mix in a few effective abdominal workouts each week, you definitely will start to expose your abs and achieve your goal of a leaner and firmer waistline.
Don't try and work your abs each day of the week! Not only is it a waste of your time, but you'll be negatively impacting the amount of body fat you're able to burn instead of focusing on the bigger muscles in your body, you'll be performing exercises that don't require anywhere near as much energy to complete.
Ab Workout #1
Hanging Knee Raises 3 sets x 8-12 reps
Saxon Side Bends 3 Sets x 8-12 reps
Weighted Crunches 3 Sets x 8-12 reps
Abs Workout #2
Incline Hip Thrusts - 3 sets of 8-12 repetitions
Medicine Ball Russian Twists 3 sets of 8-12 repetitions
Exercise Ball Crunches 3 sets of 8-12 repetitions
Try to perform each of these exercises with heavy enough weight to give your abdominals a reason to grow! Rest for 1 2 minutes between sets and try to mentally focus on making sure the muscle contracts during each repetition. Perform each rep in complete control over the weight do not use training weights that are too heavy or use sub par form or you'll eventually hurting your abdominal muscles.
There you have ita few good ab workouts that are effective and simple. Pick one of them and run through it in the beginning of the week, then move on to the next ab workout after a few days of rest. Stick with the six pack abdominal training tips above, (and make sure not to go crazy and work your mid section each and every day!) and over time, you will be able to carve out an eye catching mid section.
