Abdominal Exercises - The Best Abdominal Exercises

Three Amazing Abdominal Exercises

By: Mike Geary

Everybody knows about the usual ab exercises such as crunches, situps, and leg lifts. But you can enjoy high intensity workouts that will ramp up your metabolism and work the entire body along with the abs. Why focus just on abs, when you can also work on the entire core and burn fat quickly?

Here is an example of an "ab workout" that doesn't involve a single crunch or leg lift. The format is a tri-set. It's comparable to a super-set but you will alternate between all three exercises for greater variety. The three exercises you will perform in the tri-set are: Renegade Dumbbell Rows, Front Squats, and Mountain Climbers.

The workout involves performing 3 to 4 sets of 8 reps for each of these exercises, although that can be adjusted to make it more interesting and help it stay effective. The mountain climbers exercise is done for a time period rather than reps. A good starting point for that would be thirty seconds.

Renegade Dumbbell Rows

Renegade dumbbell rows involve getting into a pushup position; your hands will grasp the dumbbells. One dumbbell will row up while you use your other arm to keep your body neatly in position. The dumbbell is returned to the original position so the other arm can row. Lifting the dumbbells will work your arms, but the mere act of stabilizing your body will work your care and abs. Take my word for it. You will feel the burn in your abs!

This exercise may require some practice before you are really comfortable with it. You may want to meet with a professional trainer so help you get the form perfect. The abs will have to work extra hard to keep your body stabilized as you work the front squats. This is because the barbell weight will knock you slightly off balance. You will feel this one throughout your abs, even though it's really a leg exercise.

Mountain Climbers

When performing the mountain climber, you will begin in a pushup position. Walk your feet in and out from under your body. You knees will move in towards your chest and then back out again. Properly done, it will look like you are climbing a mountain but you will be parallel to the floor. For added difficulty you can shuffle your hands forward and back along with your feet. The hand movements will turn this into a true full body exercise. You will be amazed at how much harder it is than traditional mountain climbing.

When each exercise is completed, you should take about 30 seconds to rest before beginning the next one. When you have completed a full set of the three exercises, take a rest of one to two minutes.

When you are done you will feel the burn throughout your body. Your abs will really feel the burn, even thought you didn't do any ab exercises. Give the program a try and see for yourself.
