The Finest Ab Exercises To Accomplish The Sculpted Stomach You Prefer

Below is a list of some of the best ab exercises for you to do at home.

Bicycle crunches were number one on the list at San Diego State university for the best ab exercises for the upper abs also known as the rectus abdominus.

Here is how the BICYCLE CRUNCH is done.

Lie on the floor and be sure your lower back is touching the ground. Put your hands beside or behind your head. position your knees so that they are at a 45-degree angle from your body and then begin to act as if u were riding a bike.

During this process you left elbow should touch your right knee and your right elbow should touch your left knee.. be sure to keep a steady breath throughout the entire exercise.

Another of the best ab exercises is the vertical leg crunch.

Here is how the VERTICAL LEG CRUNCH is done.

Lie on your back and left your legs vertical to the floor with the knees slightly bent.
Flex your abs and then lift up until your shoulder blades leave the floor. do not let your head touch the floor and do not pull up on your head. Let your abs do the work.

Do your best not to move your legs. Lift your chest up towards your knees. Lower your chest and lift for about 12-16 times and then slowly let your shoulder blades touch the floor. Be careful not to flop back on the ground as this could cause you to injure your back.

One of the greatest ab workouts is the reverse crunch. The reverse crunch also targets the upper abs as well as the lower abs.

Here's how to do the REVERSE CRUNCH.

Lie on your back place your feet on the floor with your knees bent. You could either place your hands on the floor or behind your head. Bend your knees so that they are at a 90 degree angle with the floor. Flex your abs and then in a small movement raise your hips off the floor.
