The following ab exercises have been chosen carefully to target the lower and upper rectus abdominis, along with the external obliques- in layman's term's, this is a complete ab workout that will target every single major muscle group in your midsection. Perform each of the following 4 exercises 12-15 reps consecutively, with not more than 15 seconds rest in between sets. Repeat this entire circuit 3-4 times.
EXERCISE 1 SIT-UPS
PRIMARY TARGET: Upper Abs
SECONDARY TARGET: Lower Abs and Obliques
SECONDARY TARGET: Lower Abs and Obliques
- Lie flat on your back on the floor with your knees bent and your legs secured under a piece of heavy furniture (I am assuming that you are doing this routine at home).
- Place your hands by your chest.
- Flexing your abdominals, raise your torso until you are in nearly a sitting position.
- Retaining tension on the abs, lower your torso to the beginning position. (Note: Maintain full control throughout the movement. Avoid the temptation to rock back and forth.
EXERCISE 2 LEG RAISES
PRIMARY TARGET: Lower Abs
SECONDARY TARGET: Upper Abs and Obliques
SECONDARY TARGET: Upper Abs and Obliques
- Lie flat on your back on the floor with your legs straight in front of you.
- Place your hands at your sides by the floor for support.
- Flexing your lower abdominals, raise your legs until they are perpendicular to the floor.
- Retaining tension on the abs, lower your legs to the beginning position. (Note: Maintain full control throughout the movement. Avoid the temptation to let your legs drop on the negative portion of the movement).
EXERCISE 3 LYING LEG RAISE+CRUNCH
PRIMARY TARGET: Upper and Lower Abs
SECONDARY TARGET: Obliques
SECONDARY TARGET: Obliques
- Lie flat on your back on the floor with your legs straight in front of you.
- Place your hands at your sides by the floor for support.
- Flexing your lower abdominals, raise your legs until they are perpendicular to the floor.
- At this time, raise your shoulders and torso as far as possible from the ground in a curling movement without raising your back from the floor.
- Retaining tension on the abs, lower your legs to the beginning position and then bring your torso to the starting position as well. (Note: Maintain full control throughout the movement. Avoid the temptation to rock back and forth).
EXERCISE 4 TOE TOUCHERS
PRIMARY TARGET: Upper and Lower Abs
SECONDARY TARGET: Obliques
SECONDARY TARGET: Obliques
- Sit on the floor (or on the edge of a chair or exercise bench) with your legs extended in front of you and your hands holding on to the sides for support.
- Simultaneously bring your legs up as far as possible while at the same time bringing your torso towards them.
- Return to the start position and repeat the movement until you have completed your set. (Note: This is a modified version of a V-Up. In a true V-Up your starting position is lying down on the floor and bringing yourself up with no arm support).
