Working towards six-pack abs? Be sure to incorporate these ab exercises into your workout schedule because they are sure to help you get there!
Working out is never easy, and that’s before you even get to the rock hard abs part! Tons of people will tell you that abs are made in the kitchen, which yes, is part of the journey to a solid tummy.
But, if you’re working towards six-pack abs, be sure to incorporate these ab exercises into your workout schedule because they are sure to help you get there!
Mountain Climbers
Mountain climbers sound more deadly than they are, and they’re actually a light form of cardio.
Get down into a pushup position, your arms should be straight and your body in a straight line from your ankles to your head, much like a plank. You can start slowly if you’d like by bringing your knee up to your chest and back into position again. Alternate between legs. Doing both legs counts as one rep.
You should do at least 3 sets of 15 reps for this exercise to burn.
Planking All Different Ways
There are so many different ways to plank. You have your conventional plank, side plank, plank with hip dips, and many more.
Incorporating planking into your exercise regime is a great way to sculpt your waistline and burn away extra inches, as well as improve your posture and build core strength.
Put yourself into the pushup position and simply hold for as long as you can. Doing planking until failure is always good at the end of any workout.
Sit Up Variations
Doing crunches after crunches will ultimately be good for shedding belly fat and revealing your hidden abs, but there are so many different types of sit-ups.
You can do straight crunches, Russian twists, and bicycle crunches.
Sit on your mat right on your bum, keep your back straight and your legs bent with your feet flat on the floor. Make sure you have a kettlebell weight within reach, pick it up in both hands and alternate sides by putting the kettlebell down on the floor on each side of your body, but don’t relax! Keep the motion and do 15 reps in at least 3 sets to complete the workout.
Cardio, Repeat, Cardio
Cardio, otherwise known as aerobic exercise is any form of workout that increases your heart rate. Think treadmill, stepping machine, and other bodyweight exercises.
Incorporating more cardio into your workouts will help you burn extra belly fat and get to your six-pack ab goal quicker. Once you burn away the layer of fat with cardio, your abdominal muscles will be more visible.
Activate Those Abs
You can work your abs within any exercise program.
Just try to focus on activating your abs within any exercise you do. If you’re picking up weights or doing the stepping machine, try to pull your tummy muscles in and out. This will help to strengthen your core during any workout.
Focus on Your Ab Exercises
Although focusing on your abs is important, you should know that it needs to be incorporated with other forms of exercises as well. Simply working out your abs as a stand-alone muscle group won’t give you results.
Having these ab exercises in your exercise regime will surely improve the aesthetic of your middle area, so give them a go!
