The World's Best Ab Workout Routine
Designing a great ab workout routine is the fastest and easiest way of sculpting great abdomen muscles. Workout routines can create monotony, one of the things your body needs when working out to know that shaping your abdomen muscles is the exact thing you would like it do. For the specific ab workout routine I am going to detail, it only consists of three simple ab exercises that need to be performed in sets of three, similar to lifting weights. The three ab exercises are detailed below:
Reverse Crunch:
The first exercise in this routine is called a reverse crunch. To do so, lie on the floor and place your hands on the floor directly next to your body. Bring your knees in towards your chest, with your feet crossed, until they are bent at 90 degrees.
Then contract your abs to bring your hips off of the floor, reaching your legs up towards the ceiling. Lower yourself and repeat that exercise for 11-15 more reps. After this set, the first part of your ab workout routine is finished.
Average Crunch:
The second exercise of your ab workout routine is the standard crunch. To begin, lie on the floor with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor in front of you. Place your hands behind your head so that your thumbs are tucked behind your ears, holding your elbows slightly out to the sides and keeping your chin pointing upward.
Curl up so your neck, head and shoulders come off of the ground, while pausing in mid-air to squeeze your abdominals. Lower your neck, head & shoulders to the starting position and repeat 11-14 more times. The second phase of your ab workout routine is now finished.
Full Vertical Crunch:
The third and final exercise of this particular ab workout routine is called the full vertical crunch. Lie directly on your back and extend your legs completely up towards the ceiling.
Lightly cup your hands behind your head and contract the abs to lift your shoulder blades off of the floor, while simultaneously pressing your heels towards the ceiling, creating a 'u-shape' with your torso. Repeat this exercise for 12-16 more reps.
Once all three exercises are completed, take a rest and a quick water break and resume, doing two more sets for a grand total of three. Once your body gets accustomed to this routine, it will become much easier and the results will show much faster.
Rather than try and then give up on one painful exercise after another, this short guide has detailed three great ways to begin sculpting your abdomen muscles, all in one easy-to-remember ab workout routine.
