Everyone wants to have flatter abs, but no matter how hard we try we cannot seem to get there. The frustration surrounding the abs is because of the misinformation and unrealistic expectations. The obsession is so much that it is one of the most frequently searched words in internet.

People spend hours together doing abs exercises, but still not able to get that perfect “six pack” or reduce fat in the abs region. Many people fail to work out all the abdominal muscle properly. Select an exercise routine that is ideal for abs.

Consider the below.

Spinal flexion:

·      Abs Crunch on an Exercise Ball

·       Reverse Crunch

·      Basic Crunch

·      Long Arm Crunch

·      Captain’s Chair

Rotation:

·      Bicycle Crunch

·      Seated Oblique Twists with Medicine Ball

Lateral Flexion:

·      Crossover Crunch

·      Standing Side Bends

a) To start with, you need to perform each exercise ten times and then move to the next batch of exercise.

b) You need to maintain excellent form with every muscle contraction.

c) First contract the abs and then pull up the belly button inwards toward the spine with every contraction.

d) Make sure that you support your head whenever you necessitate, but remember not to pull the chin or pull the head towards the chest.

e) Always try to maintain a controlled and slow movement.

f) You need to change the abdominal exercise routine after every two to three weeks.

One important point to note is that we cannot reduce fat in a particular place in the body.

To get a flat abs, one should reduce the body fat all over. To achieve this one should follow a balanced plan that incorporates healthy diet and exercises that is a mix of cardio and muscle strengthening exercises.
