Is it really doable? Only two movements and spartan-like abs will be all mine? That is positively true. This is attainable for the reason that the following exercises targets the main abdominal muscles and not just the hip muscles that repeatedly gets activated in crunches and leg raises.
The following exercises that I will teach you will give you the look you wish in half the time.
Before we begin, be sure that you have already warmed up your muscles by doing a few body weight exercises. obviously we would not desire any muscle to cramp up and ruin our session. You can do some light pushups and stretching but stay away from draining movements just yet.
The beginning exercise is the plank. The Plank is one of the most fitting core exercises that works the abdominal muscles and back muscles. Throughout the entire workout, make sure that you hold you back straight.
To do this exercise, first lie face down and rest your forearms flat on the floor with palms facing down. Place your elbows directly below your shoulders. Your feet should be at the most only 4 inches apart. Then raise your body off the floor with only the elbows and the balls of your feet acting as support. Maintain a straight back. Hold this position for as long as you possibly can, and challenge yourself as you build up to longer periods in the plank position.
Remember to keep your entire back straight and straight throughout the whole period and do not let your hips and knees rest on the floor. Make sure to breathe steadily and contract your abs throughout the entire duration.
The subsequent movement is the plank leg lifts. This compound movement targets the entire abdominals and back while helping you maintain an upright and fit spine. To do this exercise, lie face down and do a push up. Now maintain this position. You should now be only supported by the balls of your feet and your palms. Now lift each leg one at a time off the floor slowly before returning to the starting push up position. At the top most point, your foot should be at least 2 feet off the floor. Repeat for twenty times and increase the repetition as your fitness level progresses. To be able to maximize the benefits of the plank leg lifts, always hold a straight back and avoid letting your hips rest on the floor. Be sure to tense you abs and breathe consistently throughout the entire exercise period. Furthermore, tense your butt tightly while raising your leg up.
Combined, these two exercises will work your entire abdominal muscles giving you that complete and ripped look.
