5 Exercises For Great Abs

By Henry Artigon

They've created a ton of products with the express purpose of keeping you from getting the ab results you really want while selling you machines that don't work very well. Who are they? They're the big guys in the fitness business who are very aware of the big money to be made this way. So, wise-up, don't waste your hard earned money and precious time on these contraptions, instead, just do these five exercises and watch the fat melt away while you get the abs you really want.

#1 - The deadlift is an exercise that is a must for any ab development program. This not an exercise for sissys. You have probably seen huge, musclebound powerlifters performing this on the international competitions. Don't worry, you will not look like one of those guys. Special diets are required to acheive those results. The real benefit you will receive from the deadlift is a good workout of your back, legs and especially your abs.

#2 - Of the five exercises, the squat is one that will greatly benefit your leg muscles. Of course we are not really wanting to develop great legs as much as great abs. Well, we're in luck because the squat also produces a large benefit to the abs due to the need to keep the body straight while balancing a weight on your shoulders, that is required when doing the squat. Just keep your abs tense and your chest out and see how much your abs will benefit from the squat.

#3 - We certainly don't want to forget the Sit Up. the classic ab exercise. It is extremely effective when performed at the end of the weights routine. It is considered to be an isolation exercise and these kinds of exercise are best performed at the end of other routines since they stress the muscles that have been exercised already.

#4 - The Military Press This is another weighted exercise, and one that also exercises your chest, shoulders and arms. In order to engage the abdominals, you need to stand upright while performing this lift -- sitting down takes the strain off your abdominals and instead places it on your legs. Simply push your weights from shoulder height to above your head, all the while using your abdominals to keep your body straight and upright.

#5 - The Leg Raise This one requires a small amount of equipment, but nothing that your local gym can't provide. Another great exercise to end your routine with, the leg raise involved hanging from either a chin-up bar or a leg raise frame, and simply raising your legs to your waist, all the while keeping them perfectly straight and pointed. Save this one for the end of your routine -- it'll exhaust your stomach and leave your abs pumped. - 17274
