- The bicycle – This is is one of the abs workout that will bring your ab flab to a minimum. Lie flat on your back with legs out. Lift one of your legs up with knee bent, and without pulling your neck, slightly raise your shoulders off the floor. Bring your knee and your elbow together so that they touch and then lower your body back down to a resting position. Alternate sides and do the same movement with your other knee and elbow. By doing this continuously you will be doing a sort of biking movement. As you do this, your upper body will move from side to side and you will feel your abdominal muscles take the pressure.
- Hanging knee raise – This exercise may require you to use the standard equipment piece called the Captain’s Chair. Hold your body in an upright position with your feet hanging and your arms resting on the padded bars and be sure your body and lower back is straight and supported using the back rest. Lift your knees slowly towards your chest with your arms supporting your body and the pressure in your abs. Hold for a few seconds and then lower your legs back down slowly. Throughout the exercises, your muscles in your upper and lower abs should be contracted constantly. This exercise will also strengthen your arm and back muscles in the process.
- Exercise ball crunch – In these types of abs workout exercises you may need an exercise ball to assist you. Place your hands behind your head and sit on the exercise ball. After this walk your legs out while sitting on the ball and lower your body, and by the end of the walk out only your shoulders and back should remain on the ball. Tighten your butt and straighten your lower back as you lift your pelvis and then your abdominal muscles will contract. Your elbows should be pointing outward, then raise your shoulders slowly making sure you do not pull your neck. Your abdominals should feel the pressure, aside from the muscles in your butt and thighs. Hold this position for a few seconds and then slowly lower your body down back to the ball. Repeat this exercise with at least 15 repetitions on either side for good measure.
By the end of the sessions of these abs workout exercises, you will find that your ab muscles will be tight and will be trimmer and leaner. The more that you do these exercises, the better control you will have over your body, and the more effective the results will be!
