Anyone who is serious about their fitness goals is interested in achieving incredible abs! And rightfully so. There is no other area of the body that says you care about yourself and your health quite so loudly, or proudly as the abdominal region.

The problem is, EVERYONE has a different idea of how to get that well toned six-pack. Take a good look at the people around you and you'll see that the majority are very mistaken. The simple fact is that no infomercial, ad, or miracle pill that states 6-minutes to ab fabulousness is true. And if you walk in a pasture of bulls, be prepared for what you are going to step in.

Solid abs are the product of good 'ole fashion elbow grease and probably the most overlooked aspect of all, NUTRITION. You will need to fuel yourself nutritionally with the correct fat loss eating strategies and support your training and weight loss goals with a proper exercise regime. Ok, so let's flex some muscle and put you on the path to abdominal stardom. Here are some of our favorites.

Double Crunch:

 




Starting Position-
Lie on mat with your feet pointing towards the ceiling and hands behing your head. Bend your legs slightly and lift your feet towards the ceiling.

Movement Description-Exhale deeply and lift the torso. Contract your abs at the top of the movement by holding the crunch for a second. Lift torso up a little more and repeat. Hold for another second.
Lower back to the mat and return to the starting position.

Stability Ball Oblique Crunch:

 




Starting Position-
Lie flat on the ball (ball should be centered with the lower back) with your feet placed flat on the ground and legs at a 90 degree angle. Place hands behind head.

Movement Description- Slowly bring the torso up to a 45 degree angle by contracting the abdominals and hip flexors. Lower back to the starting position. Caution: Do not use hands to bring neck into chest. Keep a diagonal line of vision towards the ceiling.

One Leg Ab Bridge:




Starting Position-Lie face up on the floor, knees bent.  Push body into a bridge position, supporting your weight on your feet and arms.

Movement Description- Straighten one leg up, heel flexed and slowly lower leg out to the side a few inches WITHOUT moving the rest of the body.  Use the abs to stabilize your body. Do not hold breath. Repeat with other leg.
