The Essential Warm-up

Warming up prior to every weight training session is a must.The warmup is essential to improve elasticity in ligaments and tendons. Muscle injuries are always a concern if you don,t warm up thoroughly. Now for those chiselled abs exercises. 

Exercise 1 Ab Blasting Crunch

Forget normal crunches lets get advanced for greater results

Lie on the floor in the Crunch position, knees bent, hands over ears, or resting on the back of the head.

Raise up using your ab power 10 inches and hold the position for 6 seconds. Tense your abs in this contracted position. As you return slowly to the starting position keep your abs tensed all the time. Repeat this sequence for as many reps as you can possibly do. Then have a short 30 second rest, no longer and finish off with full range crunches to the knees.

Exercise 2 Hanging Leg Raises

Hanging Leg Raises are a superb exercise for building the lower abdominals.

Start with a shoulder width grip hanging from a chining bar with your arms fully extended.Raise your legs knees together to chest level and tense your abs with no swinging. Squeeze the abs hard for 5 seconds whilst holding this position. In a controlled fashion lower your legs. You should be looking at 10 reps.

Exercise 3 Pulley Rope Crunch

This exercise is my favourite for blasting those six pack abs.

With the rope attached to the high pulley on the cable machine, grab one end of it with both hands. Pull the rope down so that you are kneeling on the floor with your hands positioned just above your head, ensure that your hands stay firmly locked in this position. Pull down using your abs by bending forward at the waist all the way to the floor, squeeze your abs hard then slowly return to the starting position keeping your abs tensed all the way. Make sure you do more than 10 reps. Repeat these ab exercises on a daily basis to achieve dramatic fat loss.
