Six Pack Ab Workout

One of the best things about training your abdominals is that you don't need any equipment to perform most of the exercises.

Abdominals

Your abdominals are an important muscle, they are a core muscle group which means they play a big part in the every day function of the human body.

How will you benefit of training your abs?

Getting strong abdominals will allow you to perform normal everyday activities easier, it will also allow you to walk with more ease, run faster for longer and reduce the risk of abdominal injury.

Getting a six pack

If you are looking to get a six pack, training your abdominals is only a small part, you should work on lowering your overall body fat percentage.

How many reps?

I have included some sets and reps in the below workout, you may need to alter these depending on your ability, feel free to reduce or increase to reps.

Ab Workout

Alternating Abdominal Crunches - 4 sets of 20 reps - works your obliques (Muscles at the side of your abs)

Leg/Knee Raises - 4 sets of 10 reps - Just raise your knees if you struggle to fully raise your legs.

Abdominal Crunches - 4 sets of 20 reps - hold in the crunch position for 2 - 3 seconds.

If you find the sets and reps easy, reduce your rest time between sets, or perform the total number reps as one single set.
