Best Ab Workouts Revealed

January 22, 2008 by Sean C. 

In this article I wanted to bring you one of the best means of cutting up your abs fast. Tri-sets will have your metabolism racing and your ab fat running in fear as it’s days are numbered. Forget about sit-ups and crunches. It’s time to work smarter than ever before with this top notch ab workout.

This tri-set consist of these 3 key exercises.

* Renegade Form Dumbell Rows

* Front Squats Using Barbell

* Mountain Climbers on Floor

Start out with 3 to 4 sets of the rows and squats. Do 8 reps each set. If 8 reps is to hard for you be sure to drop the amount of weight you are using. Do the mountain climbers for about 30 seconds.

Dumbell Rows Renegade Style: Place both of your hands on the dumbbells whicle in the pushup position. Balance with one arm and row the dumbbell upward with the other. Place the dumbbell back to the start and switch arms. When done properly you will feel a nice ab burn. What is happening is your midsection is having to balance your body.

Front Squats With Barbell: This is a great leg building exercise with the added benefit of working the abs. Again form is important as your abs will be working hard to stabilize the shift of weight. Take your time and do it right so you don’t end up pulling an ab muscle. Asking a trainer if you are doing this one correctly would not be a bad idea. Rest the barbell on your front shoulders while in the standing position. Cross your arms, keep your elbows in front of your body, and push your fist into the bar. Keep your upper arms parallel to the floor. Descend until thighs are just past parallel. Extend knees and hips until legs are straight. Return and repeat.

Mountain Climbers On Floor: This is a great conditioning exercise that increases core strength and endurance. Start in a push-up position (arms lined up with the chest, legs extended out). Keep the stomach muscles contracted throughout the range of motion while the head is in line with the body. Start by bringing the right knee to the chest and back to starting position. Alternate quickly to the left leg and continue this movement for a set amount of time. Just think of yourself as climbing a mountain except your on the floor.

You are well within reach of the abdominal muscles of your dreams. Achieving this goal is not about spending the most time in the gym and eating a strict diet. It’s about the proper combination of full body metabolism increasing ab exercise workouts. Stay focused when you walk in the gym and have a plan. Thirty seconds between sets, 1 or 2 minutes between tri-sets.
