Re: Ab Routine?

Right now my husband & I are doing Tamilee Webb's "I want those abs" tape. The tape has two 15 minute ab routines. The first workout is more for beginners & the second is more advanced. She is a really good instructor & she covers the entire midsection. My husband also just bought me the book "The Complete Book of Abs for Women", & it is also wonderful! It covers everything from ab routines to nutrition. Hope this helps!

Re: Ab Routine?

Lower:
Pelvic tilts, 2 sets, 20 reps
Reverse crunch, 2 sets, 20 reps
Leg lifts, 2 sets, 10 reps

Obliques:
Cross reaches, 2 sets, 10 reps / side
Oblique crunches, 2 sets, 10 reps / side
Oblique leg lifts, 2 sets, 10 reps / side

Upper:
Crunches, 2 sets, 20 reps
"L" crunches, 2 sets, 10 reps
Super crunches, 2 sets, 10 reps (6-count exercise)

That's the routine I use.

Re: Ab Routine?

Unless you are skinny enough around you stomach you will not get cut from ab exercises.

Re: Ab Routine?

There are a million different ab exercises and they all pretty much work. You can seperate into probably 3 groups. Those that target the lower abs, those that target the upper abs and those that target the obliques or the side of the abs. Personally what I think when it comes to ab exercises is it's really good to keep your abs under stress throughout the entire movement. The trick is not to come up so far that you lose the contraction on your abs or go down to far to lose the contraction on the abs. Better yet you can simply maintain a position that puts major stress on the ab as long as you can and that really hits them as well.
