A Look at the Very Best Abs Workouts

By Carolin Gildon


Do you want to build your abs? If so, there are several abdominal workouts that can help you build muscle and lose fat. You have probably seen the infomercials on TV selling products and workouts that are supposed to help you get the six-pack you've always wanted. How can you tell which of these methods is truly effective? Many tangible results have been achieved by people using some of these products - let's see which ones actually work.

Most people that hear about pull-up and chin-up exercises think of upper body strength exercising. If you want to build your core strength, including your back and abs, these are the best exercises for doing this. If you go to a gym, chin up bars will be there. You can also buy one to install at your house. They can be placed in any doorway that you choose. There are many benefits to doing pull-ups. You can choose to do overhanded or underhanded grips. If you want to, simply add this exercise to your existing work out. Abs workouts will only improve by doing these exercises. In fact, your body will build in overall strength at the same time.

Doing too many exercises for the abs can be as bad as doing too few. People are often in such a hurry to get six-pack abs that they focus too much on this one muscle group. If you focus too much on the abdominals, you end up neglecting other muscle groups that are equally important. Neither your abs nor the rest of your body do well with a routine that's not well rounded. Doing strictly abs exercises also doesn't do much to help you shed pounds, which is necessary to make your ab muscles more visible. You should incorporate exercise such as crunches and using abdominal machines, but don't do more of these than any other type of exercise.

There are a few essential abs exercises that are always worth doing, and the plank is one of these. It's a simple exercise that builds strength and endurance for both your abs and back muscles. This is an exercise you can do on the floor, an exercise mat or an exercise ball, starting in a face-down position. Raise your body up onto your toes and elbows, keeping your back and rear end flat. Keep your body up for up to 60 seconds and come down slowly. If you can only stay up for a few seconds at first, that's fine as you'll quickly build up your endurance.

If you have a rowing machine, you really need to use it to build your abs up. You will notice a dramatic increase in your overall endurance and upper body strength using a rowing machine. If you're looking for something that combines strength building an aerobics, this exercise routine can accomplish both relatively quickly. Ten minutes on a rowing machine can be more strenuous than half an hour on a treadmill. Your ads can really develop by simply doing this, plus some crunches to make a well-rounded routine. However, you'll find that your abdominal muscles will develop faster if you do regular workouts on a rowing machine. As you can see, abdominal workouts should be a part of your regular workout routine and done just as regularly as everything else. To prevent overtraining, it is recommended that you do this to three times a week. We've looked at just a few helpful suggestions for abs workouts, and they are all well worth including in your workouts.
