All About Abs 2 - The Best Abs Exercises

All About Abs 2 - The Best Abs Exercises
This is Part 2 of our four part series called All About Abs. This post will look at the best abs exercises that you should utilize if you want to develop some super sexy, firm and toned abs.
All about abs - the best abs exercises intro
The first part of this series took a look at all the essential basics of abdominal development. We established that the basics are the most important part of abdominal training so if you have not read it yet I strongly encourage you to go back and read it first. Without the basics they more advanced stuff is no where near as effective.
Once you know all about the basics, however, you need to expand your knowledge further and get yourself together an arsenal of the best possible exercises. This will make the process of developing some nice abs much faster.
You see there are good abs exercises and there are bad abs exercises. Some work the abs a lot better than other and it is these few that we are interested in. If we spend a lot of time on fancy abs exercises that aren’t quite as effective as the other then we are just wasting our own energy and time.
The best abs exercises target the abs really well to the exclusion of most other muscles. This should be your gauge.
You only need a couple of abs exercises
One important point I want to share with you all is that you really only need two or three super abs exercises. It is not necessary to do ten different exercises each workout, they are all targeting the same group of muscles.
I think many women fall into the trap of thinking that if they haven’t made much progress they need some new exercises to try out. Or, they may think that different abs exercises workout different areas of the abs. While both of these thoughts are true to some extent I find it much more effective to get my clients (and myself) to master three or four exercises and focus on them completely.
However, it is important to mix up your routine if you find it boring or ineffective. My point, however, is that you only need three or four exercises for success.
What makes a good abs exercise?
As aforementioned a good abs exercise should be one that targets the abdominal muscles well without brining any other muscles in to play.
One of the main problems with bad abdominal exercises is that they take the emphasis off of the abs by either tricking you into using too much motion or bringing other surrounding muscles into help. Both of these secnarios are bad and will not help your progress.
My goal with this series is not so much to lay out your entire path step by step for you but rather it is to give you some good solid information and facts so you can go about your abs training in an informed way. This means that you should be able to pick new abs exercises and diets by looking at them and asking yourself whether they meet the standards laid out in these posts.
An important part of the information I want to give you is to help you recognize a good abs exercise. It should use only the abs and not the hip flexors or obliques, it should be simple to do and it should involve the crunching action. That’s it.

Why don't you make your home as your own gym ?

Q: Can I actually do that ?

A: Of course !

Q: Do I really need my own gym ?

6 Reasons Why You Need Exercise @ Your Own Home Gym

  1. Are you a busy woman who doesn't have many time to go to a gym for exercise ?
  2. Do you feel uncomfortable to wear your favourite sports wear at the gym ?
  3. Do you often think dumbbells or exercise machines at gym are not hygienic ?
  4. Do you often have to wait/queue for several minutes before being able to use a certain machine at the gym?
  5. As an aerobics lover, do you want to have your own aerobics choreography or music rather than just following the instructor?
  6. Is privacy one of your most concerns ?

If you answer 'yes' to most of those questions, then exercise at your own home gym will be your best solution.

Imagine....

  • You can do exercise in your own time schedule - 24 hours/day, 7 days/week (you are the boss of the gym, right ?).
  • You can use all the equipment or machine as long as you like, nobody will come and say 'excuse me, but are you still using this?' though he/she can see that you ARE actually using it!!
  • You don't have to share your equipment and machine with many other people.
  • When you feel boring, you can move your exercise anywhere in your home. Nobody will be annoyed when you move the dumbbells...
  • And last but not least, you can do the exercise according to your OWN need at your OWN choice, while most of gyms provide only equipment/machines/music at general taste.
