Ab Workout for a Six Pack

Since I've been 16, I've been a little bit of a work-out-aholic. I have come up with a lot of different training methods for specific parts of the body. In this article I will talk about how to train you abs.

Before you start any exercise you need to stretch. Start by stretching your torso with twists. Then stretch your hamstrings and quads.

Before you start any exercise you need to stretch. Start by stretching your torso with twists. Then stretch your hamstrings and quads.

You will be doing a 4 step cycle ab workout. One set will be considered a full cycle of the 4 exercises. You need to take little to no break in between the 4 exercises and only take 1 minuet between sets.

Start out doing bicycles: Lay on your back and move your legs in a circular patter like riding a bike. Make sure you extend your let all the way out and keep your heals close to the floor while bringing you legs back to your chest. Do this for 30 seconds.

Next you want to stay laying on your back and put your hands under your butt. With you hands under your butt, do a crunch and hold at the top for 2 seconds. When you come down go slow and stay controlled. Repeat this 15 times.

Now keep your hands under your butt and stick your legs strait out. Keep your legs strait out and slightly pump them. You should start with your heals about 4 inches off the floor and bring the up to about 12 inches off the floor. Lower your heals back down and repeat. Make sure you go slow and stay controlled. Repeat this 15 times.

Lastly you are going to flip over and get into a push-up position. Instead of your weight being on your hands put your elbows on the floor. Hold your back strait and keep holding the position. Slowly put all your weight on one elbow until all the weight is on one elbow. Stay like this for 5 seconds. Now do the same with you other elbow. Repeat this 10 times. Remember to stay controlled and move slow.

Repeat this entire set 5 times. You need to do this at least 3 times a week. Your abs take 22 hours to recover fully, so you can do this every day if you are up to it. If it gets to easy for you, simply up the reps on the exercises. Have fun and remember that you will not see results for a few weeks. Just work on it and stay at it.

Good luck.
