Some Six Pack Exercises To Get You Started

By Jace P. Andersen

You might have recently noticed the big national push to get everyone back on track with his or her weight. There are diet plans for just about any walk of life and they all claim miraculous results in no time at all. But if you want to get the six-pack abs you have been dreaming of, its probably not going to come out of a bottle. There is an extensive list of physical activities one could do to trim down and tighten up their abs, where do you start and who's right in terms of six pack exercises?

Never fear, I have compiled some of the most popular exercises people use to target their abdominal muscles with results. Experts will tell you to save your money on gimmicks and magic supplements. The best thing you can do for yourself if you're seeking firmer muscles is to get out there and exercise.

Crunches--Most folks would tell you that the most effective exercise for tighter abs is a standard crunch. A crunch is started by lying flat on your back with your knees pulled up, allowing you to put your feet flat on the floor. Then you lift your shoulders off the floor towards your knees but only enough to feel your stomach tighten.

Knee Up Crunches - One of the worst things about standard crunches is that it gets to be rather boring very quickly. One way to break the monotony might be to try this variation, which begins the same way. Instead of only raising your upper body, you also move your knees inward towards your chest which allows more muscles to be used, and helps to add a little change and flavor to your routine.

Sit Ups - Bear in mind that you don't need crazy new workout positions to get real results either. Many a tight stomach was brought to you courtesy of the time honored sit up. This is often overlooked when compared to a crunch because it, unlike crunches, heavily relies on the individual's momentum. This adds to the already strenuous atmosphere of exercising and is often left out. I assure you, though, this should stay in your routine and you'll thank me later.

Jackknife Sit Ups - If you are thinking that sit-ups just don't provide the level of intense work out you are looking for, consider an upgrade. Instead of the normal sit up, might I suggest a jackknife? Start lying flat on your back with your legs down as well. Then, bring your legs straight up into the air, while also bringing your upper body off the floor. A correct execution should put you in a position to kiss your knees, which not only incorporates an incredible amount of muscles, it challenges you to continue.

Push Ups--Unless you hang out with fitness buffs, and not all of us do, you might be surprised to learn the ab improving qualities of simple push ups. This exercise is performed by placing your hands flat on the floor with your arms fully extended. This means your arms are suspending you and you are balanced by your toes. Then lower your upper body towards the floor and then back up again.

These are just a few options that can drastically change your abs for the better. Getting an attractive six pack relies not on the product or supplement you buy, but on your dedication. These additions to your routine do not require equipment, and that means you can get started right away. Start building the better you. - 17269
