Ab Workout - Six pack Abs

Ab Workout - Six pack Abs

Try this ab workout and you'll be on your way to six pack abs in no time.

It's important to remember that if you want a six pack that you need get your diet in check first.

No amount of crunches or ab work will give you the six pack look if you have a buck of fat covering your abs.

I don't recommend using any of those 'miracle ab machines' you see on TV at night, but I do recommend using a swiss exercise ball to increase range of motion and ab muscle stimulation.

Ab Workout Guidelines
Perform the ab workout Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Concentrate on performing each rep in a slow and controlled manner. Really squeeze and fully contract the abs, and exhale fully at peak contraction. Inhale on the way down.

Ab Work Set (#1)
Crunches (1 x 15)
Reverse Crunches (1 x 15)
Side Crunches (1 x 15)

Ab Work Set (#2)
Side Crunches (1 x 15)
Reverse Crunches (1 x 15)
Crunches (1 x 15)

Ab Work Set (#3)
Crunches (1 x 15)
Reverse Crunches (1 x 15)
Side Crunches (1 x 15)

Complete each exercise in the ab workout above in order, taking no rest between exercises until after you finish a complete set. Rest 45-60 seconds between each set.

This ab workout routine effectively works all three portions of the abs. Crunches for the upper abs, reverse cruches for the lower abs & side crunches for the obliques.
