Abdominal Workout

Here is a quick abdominal workout for everyone. This workout is designed to be done 2-3 days per week. Your abs are just like all other muscles and need time to rest and recover. They are also involved in many other exercises – most – as stabilizers for the core of the body.

Each exercise should be conducted in the best form possible and no more repetitions should be done if form is to suffer in favor of completing more repetitions. As with other muscles form is the most important – not the number of reps completed.

Knee raises – place a softball between your knees. Use a flat bench or decline abs bench. Lie down with your feet on the ground and head up. Find somewhere to hold on with your hands. Now raise your knees to your chest. Repeat this for 5 reps and 5 sets.

Crunch with one leg in the air, then switch - lie down on a flat bench or the floor. Raise one leg straight up into the air and keep the other leg bent, foot on the floor. Now the crunch is a small motion and is straight up, DO NOT Twist. This exercise will work the Obliques. Again do 5 reps and 5 sets for both sides.

Russian Twist - Sit on the floor with your knees bent. Lean back into about a 45 degree angle. Lock your back and hips. Now you twist from side to side. Your hips should remain still the only part of your body moving should be at the waist.
