Portland Trainers Suggest Easy Ab Exercises

November 27th, 2006
Maintain a low-fat diet and consume plenty of water. Your body needs that daily hydration and it doesn't need oodles of saturated fat. As for the actual exercises: do 100 crunches with your legs propped on a chair, five nights a week.

The killer ab craze is in full effect. In fact there's nothing people want more than a nice six pack. Or is it an eight pack these days? My weight training partner tells me he wants a 12 pack. He must have something going on that the rest of us don't. So, how does one achieve those outrageous abdominal muscles? Well, this certainly depends on what you're looking for. Let's face it; we all have different goals in mind. If you're a female, I seriously doubt you want abs like a male bodybuilder, and so on. Now, it's time to determine whether or not you should drop those hard-earned dollars on a contemporary abdominal machine.

Hey, you want to know my secret to great abs? I'll tell you for free. First of all, I maintain a low-fat diet and consume plenty of water. This is important for a few different reasons. Your body needs that daily hydration and it doesn't need oodles of saturated fat. Also, a low-fat diet it good for your heart. Now for the actual exercises. I do 100 crunches with my legs propped on a chair, five nights a week. This is a great ab exercise that puts very little strain on the back. Now before you rule it out as too much work, keep in mind what a lot of folks do to get great abs. What I'm proposing will barely take you 20 minutes per week. That's nothing. How much time do you spend sitting on the couch and watching TV? Notice how I did not recommend a new-age abdominal machine. Sure, you can go with one of these if you please. Most of them do produce results, but you don't need an abdominal machine to get great abs. There are a number of alternatives. One of the most recommended ab exercises these days is the bicycle. No, not the one that you ride. It's when you lay on your back and motion your legs like you're riding a bicycle. Clasp your fingers behind your head and bring your opposing elbow to your knee and so forth. This is a wonderful ab exercise and it's free.

You should always keep in mind that your ab muscles are there. Now, whether or not they're hidden beneath fat tissue concerns your diet. So before you run out and purchase the latest abdominal machine, I want you to adopt a low-fat diet and cardio routine. Shed that fat and take a gander at those abs you never knew you had.






 Its all in the exercise... Diet is important - but you gotta do the work to see your results.
