Ab Workout

Try this ab workout with my recommended exercise ball for a workout that will blow torch your ab muscles and make you beg for mercy.

Make sure you get a full contraction with each rep on your workout to get maximum effect and deep muscle stimulation.

Most importantly remember that if you want a six pack, you need get your diet in check first or all your hard work in the gym will be in vein.

Ab Workout Guidelines

  • Perform the ab workout Monday, Wednesday and Friday
  • Move quickly from one exercise to the next with minimal rest
  • Perform each rep in a slow and controlled manner squeezing and fully contract the abs each rep - it's quality not quantity that counts
  • Exhale fully at peak contraction and inhale on the way down

Complete each exercise in the ab workout above in order, taking no rest between exercises until after you finish a complete set. Rest 45-60 seconds between each set.

This ab workout routine effectively works all three portions of the abs. Crunches for the upper abs, reverse cruches for the lower abs & side crunches for the obliques.

If you don't have an exercise ball, get one! There's no better way to get a killer ab workout than with a ball.
