Exercises For Abs: Overview And Office Exercises

By Jace P. Andersen

Having toned abs is one of those ideals that many people want but few have the time to attain. With all of the different types of exercises for abs it seems that there just isn't a lot of time available to make the kind of commitment necessary to develop a six-pack.

Most people are working longer hours than ever before. They spend the day at the office working at a desk, then come home and work at their computer late into the night. The variety of machines available that provide exercises for the abs are enticing but there is just no time to use them. At some point in their life most people purchase a treadmill and a rowing machine for their home and may even try to use them for awhile, but again, time and other commitments interfere with the best intentions.

Going to gyms is an option that is usually very popular around January when New Year's resolutions are made. But, while the membership may go on for years, the wonderful ab toning machines that are designed to provide exercise for the abs sit idle as people hurry to their office jobs.

Combined with proper eating habits an individual doing exercises for abs can quickly get the six pack they desire and keep it. Except that most people don't have time to make it to the gym regularly or eat properly. So, if a person is serious about finding exercises that will tone their abs and not cut into their other commitments they must get creative. Office exercises for abs requires only a chair and the commitment of the person who has made up their mind to get rid of their belly.

If a person is in a work station that requires a lot of sitting one very effective ab exercise that can be done in just a few minutes during a break is to grasp the arms of the chair you are in, rise just a bit off the seat, then while staying in the sitting position lift both legs up for a count of ten, relax and repeat. This is a simple exercise but strengthens the abs and back as well as tightening the rear end. If a person is working in an office or cubicle it is not an exercise that will attract unnecessary attention when being done.

If you are like most office workers you have a water bottle located somewhere in or near your desk that is unopened. Hold the water bottle at chest level and elbows out then twist the body left and right while keeping the rear facing forward. This stretching exercise for the abs will also strengthen your back and you will find that after doing this exercise regularly that you will not get a back ache as quickly in the day as you usually do.

The last of exercises for the abs is the most relaxing but actually is doing the most work. Folding the fingers behind the neck arch the back and tighten the stomach muscles at the same time. Count to six then relax complete leaning forward, hanging the arms and head down and shoulders relaxed. Do this a few times at first and work up as you do them more. This exercise stretches all of the parts you've been abusing and tightens the abs at the same time.

There are many exercises for abs that are effective and work many other parts of the body. But the most effective exercises for abs are the ones that a person can actually do in the location they are at. For many people there is not enough time in the day to go to a gym regularly and when one gets home they don't feel like pulling out a treadmill. But exercising while sitting at a desk is an opportunity that presents itself on a daily basis. - 17274
