So, you have your goal insight, your inspiration in
place and all the energy to get that ripped stomach of your
dreams. Now it is time to build a six pack abs workout that
pretty much works your entire mid-section - the smart
way.
When building your abs workout you must include not only
exercises like crunches, but also, twists and leg raises
that will stimulate the lower and oblique muscles of the
stomach.
Okay the first step on a six pack abs routine is cardio.
At least 30 minutes. Choose the activity you prefer:
running, swimming, jumping, etc and get on doing some
cardio. This is an important step since it will burn the
fat off your body (the number one factor to let show that
six pack)
Once you've done your share of cardio, it is time to
first work your core abs muscles, those are the muscles
that are deep in our stomach and also the most important!
For this I suggest exercises like the plank and tucking in
your stomach. Pilates exercises are great.
Second, work your lower stomach. Choose exercises that
doesn't strain your lower back. For me the best exercise is
the captain's chair, but you need some equipment (a bad
thing if you are working out at home).
Third, is time to work your oblique muscles. You can use
the side plank here, a variation of the plank but on the
side. Side crunches are great also, but be sure to use
roper technique. Use also the bicycle maneuver, this
exercise is according to research the one that triggers
most muscular activity in the stomach.
Finally end up forking the upper abs, doing crunches and
exercises of that style. Keep in mind that technique is
very important. A crunch poorly executed will bring about
50% results.
Start slowly, choose your preferred exercises, and have
fun! That's what all about when making a six pack abs
workout. Good luck!
