Abdominal exercises are one of the hottest, if not the hottest, yet most debated topics in the fitness and exercise industry today. Literally hundreds of gadgets, gimmicks and exercise machines are flooding the market place - that entice people looking for flatter abdominals.
But its true to say that the problem with most of the abdominal exercises that are recommended online and everywhere else, are not necessarily the best method of getting the six-pack abs that are so much in demand. First and in particular most importantly, the thing to remember in getting great six pack abdominals is to lose the extra belly fat that’s hiding them.
Instead of focusing so much on abdominal exercises to make your stomach flatter, it’s more important to lose much more body fat by focusing the majority of training time with special combinations of high intensity full-body, multi-joint exercises and the best exercises for losing that tummy fat are the exercises that work the largest portions of the body all at once.
Exercises that work the large muscle groups of legs, upper and lower back, and chest give you the biggestmetabolicworkout in terms ofabdominal fatloss. Combining these types of big multi-joint exercises in high intensity super-set, tri-set, or circuits gives you the biggest fat-burning and metabolism boosting response from your workouts.
When talking of abdominal specific exercises, a mistake most people make is mindlessly pumping away with hundreds of crunches and other meaningless abs exercises that barely give your abdominals much resistance to work against. If you actually want to develop your abdominals to the best extent possible, exercises that give you enough resistance to get you down into the 6-15 rep range per set works great for abs.
Generally, higher resistance abdominal exercises that provide a much larger stimulus to the abs come in the form of exercises that involve raising/curling the legs and pelvis either upward or inward closer to the trunk. Great examples of these higher resistance abdominal exercises are hanging leg raises or knee raises using a pelvic curl up, or an exercise like lying hip thrusts. Often those that can do 50 or 100 crunches, can’t complete more than 2 or 3 properly executed hanging leg raises.
If you really want tighter, flatter abs, remember that losing that extra belly fat is the most important factor. Also, when it comes to abdominal-specific exercises, always remember higher resistance exercises that involve curling/raising the legs and pelvis upward or inward are what develops the abs to the best extent possible.
