Best Ab Exercises - Quickly See Dynamite Results

By Aldo Clayton

Everyone wants their midsection to look great. If your abs are not in fine condition, you are no-one, at least to some. While a slim, muscled midsection looks great, it'll look even better on a body which is well toned all around. Incorporate ab exercises into your routine for great looking abs - and a nice looking body!

There are essentially a few good ab exercises out there. If you try one and it is not for you, just move on, there's a lot more to choose from. Each exercise works better for some people than others. You may have to try several before finding some which you like. And of course, your abs still get an exercise session irrespective of which one you choose.

1. Stationary Bike Crunches - Now while crunches can't do the job alone, they are advantageous. Bicycle crunches employ your ab muscle regions : rectus abdominal, lower abdominal and oblique abs. Do this exercise lying on the floor, back rounded and hands behind the neck to avoid straining yourself. Your higher abs will be engaged, and your lower abs will come into action as you lift your knees up to form a 90 degree angle. Move the other knee to the center of your body while moving the opposite elbow to your knee. Alternate sides for one full count everytime.

2. Kickboxing and self-defense skills - You can attend classes at the gym or try using TaeBo tapes. The pulling down motions of your arms and the upward motion of your legs is like doing a crunch standing up! Kickboxing uses all your abdominal muscles helping your whole body burn fat. All the movements you will do are done with your abs tightened ; this can help you keep balance for a better workout.

3. Torso Twists - A body twist tightens your abs as you move from side to side briefly rapid movements. You have to do this one right to really benefit your abs. Broomstick twists are done by standing and doing a sweeping motion first on one side, then the other. Stand with bent knees and arms extended on either side. Attempt to keep your hips still as you do the exercise. You want to make your abs do the work here. - 17269
