Best Abs Work Out

By James Statham

If you're looking for information on the most effective abs work out, then please read on. I bet you're thinking that crunches are the way to go if you want rock hard abs. In actual fact, crunches are one of the worst abs exercises you can perform! In this article, I will show you some of the proven exercises that you will get far better results from, and mention a few other key components.

This may shock you, but did you know that crunches and sit ups are some of the worst abs work out exercises! Most people new to working out often get mislead by friends of magazines that tell them to perform lots of crunches, but this isn't true. Infact, I believe that there is something more important than doing the right exercises. You need to lower your body fat levels. If you can't see your abs right now, it's because you have excess belly fat which you need to trim!

The reason why crunches are so popular in an abs work out, is because many guys believe that they specifically target your abs, and therefore will really strengthen your abs and therefore burn lots of belly fat away. Well when you exercise, your body burns fat from all over your body, not just one specific area. Crunches aren't very intense and therefore will not burn as much belly fat as other exercises could. You need to be performing compound exercises that don't just work the abs, but work lots more muscles. This will lead to much quicker fat burn, so you'll be able to see you abs sooner!

These are two of the most effective abs work outs around. The front squat is a compound exercise, and really stresses the body for maximum fat burn! Similar to a normal squat, however you rest the barbell on the front of your shoulders, under the neck, and cross your arms, so your right hand is holding the barbell on your left shoulder. Then perform as you would a normal crunch. You'll really feel the burn in this exercise, especially in your abs! It will also work your legs and shoulders, and is a very intense exercise. Another top exercise is the classic pull up. All you need for this is a bar. Grab the bar from above your head, and pull up, and lower yourself down slowly, not just letting go. Perform this until you can no longer do a rep in good form. Another highly intense exercise which will really blast your abs!

Now you have knowledge of a proper abs work out, you need to improve your diet. Lowering body fat levels is crucial if you want to ever see your abs brilliantly defined. Cutting out the rubbish foods such as crisps and cakes is a must. Also, aim to eat foods that have a high protein content. Protein is considered the building blocks of gaining muscle, so is vital to make sure your getting enough protein in your diet. - 17269
