Rock hard abs are the hallmark of a sexy body today. No abs? So sorry... goodbye!
Getting a six pack abs is not so easy. You must do it the old fashioned way, work for them. There are no machines that will do the work for you. To get those amazing abs you need to start with core training.
If you have lower back problems check with your doctor before attempting to work on these exercises. These exercises are designed to build up the core which is the foundation for developing killer abs.
The three exercises are:
1. The Plank 2. The Side Plank 3. The Superman
1. The Plank
Keeping your body straight is absolutely important in this exercise. Get into a push up posture and support your upper body by using your forearms.
Keep your body absolutely straight and make sure that you don't lift your butt, drop your head, or arch your back, doing this can make the exercises easier and that will make the exercise less effective. Once you are in position hold your position for 30-60 seconds or as long as you can hold.
We will now make this exercise harder for more effectiveness. Lift and hold one foot a few inches higher from the ground while doing this exercise. Uneven load on the core makes the plank tougher and hence more effective.
2. The Side Plank
The side plank is an exercise that's tougher than the plank. Lie down on the side with your fore arm firmly planted on the ground. Lift your hips above the floor in such a way the only your for arms and your feet are on the ground.
Remember to keep your body in a straight line... don't bend forward. Hold the position for 15 to 30 seconds or as long as you can.
To get more benefit from the Side Plank, try lifting the top foot just a few inches while you are in position. It's surprising how really tough this exercise is -- but it is also a very effective exercise for strengthening your core.
3. The Superman
You've seen superman fly, right? SO lie down on the floor on your belly and stretch your arms out in front of you. Spread your arms so that they make a "V? with your head.
While keeping your legs together, raise them up till your knees are lifter off the ground. Hold your position for 30-60 seconds or as long as you can.
These three exercises are like the foundation for building up killer abs. Instead of wimpy ab machines, these exercises are an effective way to start.
But remember what Vince Lombardi said, "The dictionary is the only place where 'results' comes before 'work'." That sums it up when it comes to conquering that belly flab -- without core training, no results!
