Exercises For Abs When You're Working

By Jace P. Andersen

There are many exercises for abs that are can be done using machines at the gym or in the convenience of one's home. Many people work in environments where they spend the majority of their time sitting and grabbing fast food. The immediate visual result of this inaction is extended abdominal muscles.

Treadmills and other types of machines that will tone the abs are presented regularly through advertisements. For many people these pieces of equipment either wind up in a storage area or are used to hang up clothing. Most people are just too tired after getting home to use machines for exercise.

Gyms provide great opportunities and exercises for abs that are focused and can be done in an exercise group or individually. These machines have more functions than those that are in most homes and focus on specific areas of the body. An individual can tone and condition their abs by visiting the gym two or three times a week for an hour.

Many trainers agree that the most effective way of toning an individual's abs is to incorporate the use of diet and exercise. In many cases this includes exercises which do not require equipment and can easily be done in the comfort of one's home or in an office.

The first exercise for the abs can easily be done at one's desk in their work chair. Just grasp the seat of the chair and lift the rear off the chair, then raise the legs (still bent as though sitting), up and down five times without dropping back into the chair. This exercise performs two really key functions. The abs and legs get exercise and the pressure on the tailbone is relieved which will help the back. A very easy exercise that can be done during breaks.

Another great office chair exercise for abs that will not draw attention is the ab twist. Simply hold a bottle of water horizontally at chest height and turn the body while holding the bottle from left to right, right to left, then bend down towards the floor. Please note that if your chair is on a slippery floor you may not want to do the bending forwards part. The left and right motion, keeping the rear end stationary works fine.

The last of exercises for the abs is the most relaxing but actually is doing the most work. Folding the fingers behind the neck arch the back and tighten the stomach muscles at the same time. Count to six then relax complete leaning forward, hanging the arms and head down and shoulders relaxed. Do this a few times at first and work up as you do them more. This exercise stretches all of the parts you've been abusing and tightens the abs at the same time.

There are many exercises for abs that are effective and work many other parts of the body. But the most effective exercises for abs are the ones that a person can actually do in the location they are at. For many people there is not enough time in the day to go to a gym regularly and when one gets home they don't feel like pulling out a treadmill. But exercising while sitting at a desk is an opportunity that presents itself on a daily basis. - 17269
