Some very effective beginner abs exercises are:
Bicycle Exercise:
According to a recent study, Bicycle exercise is best for developing and maintaining six packs and to reduce the waist line. For doing Bicycle exercise we should lie on the floor and lace our fingers behind our head and then bring your knees inwards towards the chest area and then lift your shoulder blades off the floor. This, you have to do without pulling the neck. Then, straighten your left leg out and at the same time turn the upper body to the right along with that take your left elbow towards your right knee. Next, you need to switch sides for that bring your right elbow towards your left knee. This, you can repeat by alternating the sides in a pedaling motion for about 12 to15 times.
Sit-Ups:
Take a mat and lie down on your back, bend the knees, make sure to place the lower back flat to the ground with both hands reaching up and keeping our eyes locked to any one object on the ceiling. Breathe out the air as we contract. We should do it slowly and carefully until we feel that we cannot handle anymore. We should never let the abs loose during the workout.
Crunch:
It is similar to sit-ups; instead of trying to get the upper body up we need to curl our chest towards the hips. We should do maximum contraction by emptying air.
Reverse crunch:
To do this, we need to lay on your back, place the lower back flat on the ground with both hands on the ground for balance and support. Slightly bend the knees and pull both legs up towards hips (Like L shape). Flatten the Abs and slowly curl the hips towards the chest and hold it for few seconds and then gently release down.
Most importantly, get creative with your ab workouts. Use a swiss ball, medicine balls, kettle bells, and other weights and equipment.
You cannot target fat loss to one specific area on your body, it is very important to do abdominal workouts (which we will talk about), but it cannot be the only thing you do. You need to incorporate cardiovascular training, weight lifting, and interval training. You need to turn your body into a fat burning machine, and you do that by raising your lean muscle mass, because muscles burns fat. You also need to have a healthy diet, there are certain foods that can help you get your sexy flat abs, like foods with protein, and foods that are either whole grain or whole wheat. But let get to some of the reasons why strong flat abs are important, other than just looking good.
Yes, great looking abs go further than just skin deep, it’s not all about looking good. There are many health benefits to strengthening your core that will help you live a long and healthy life. If you are experiencing back pain, most the time it is because of the baggage you are carrying up front. Your back is supporting all that weight called your belly, or beer belly. Strengthening your abs will also help you with everyday activities. Just think about all the movements we do, twisting, bending, pushing, and pulling, we engage our core far more than we realize, and if we had a strong core than we would be less likely to injure ourselves. Belly fat has also been related to heart disease, the fat that surrounds our midsections is said to be the most dangerous fat for our hearts.
