Ab exercises

Ok, looking to add some new ones to our workout as getting bored with current one's.

Any suggestions very welcome.

Not asking for people bragging,just some new idea's.

Our current workout includes a mix of the following.

Hanging leg raises (straight and bent)

Lying leg raises

Roll outs with Swiss ball

Plank

V ups on bench (prone to v)

Dead bug

Wipers

Weighted sit ups

And good old crunch.

And some hyperextenions for low back.

Obviously don't do all of these every session, vary and do a mixture.

Many thanks.

That's an awful lots of ab exercises, personally I don't think anyone needs that much variety, but then I haven't been a trainer for years, and my advice dispensing days are long gone.

I like variety in our routine, prevents boredom.

Re :shag he has a six pack coz he has very low body fat and probably eats a very strict diet.

And probably does lots of weighted exercises to thicken his abs

Just guessing?

We just want to ad a few different one's to mix it up.

Sounds a lot like a standard CX Works class of 30 mins.

It's not about getting six pack it's about core strength and stability.

Then planks are the way to go, probably would laugh at this suggestion but yoga and pillates are good for core strength.

Some people are blessed with good genetics and a fast metabolism.

I have the metabolism of a slug.

Even when I was doing 16plus hours a week as a triathlete and marathon runner I was never ripped.

Many think you need to do lots of abs, you only need to do few sets couple of times a week. The best ones is to hit all for sides:

crunches - front abs

leg raises -lower abs

Side crunches left side obliques

Side crunches right side obliques

100% agree.

We only vary it coz I get bored doing same thing.

Jools is happy to do same thing every time.

That's right and good jules like it. I meant *four there. But yes variety makes it more fun too. You caould also vary the intensity of the exercises. Have u got an inflatable ball to? that will stretch the back really good and hit lower abs even more.

I like superman planks, although you do look like a plank when you lose your balance!

R has me on a few but every other day I'm doing the les mills hardcore abs routine. Only 15 min but it's good. Almost getting there with a side plank crunch but my upper body is not strong enough (yet) to do what they do with a plank walking up to push up thing.

Might be worth a Google for you.

I know a Kung Fu exercise which has great results, but it's difficult, most important thing is to breath out deeply to relax the muscles of the back and hips, lay on your back, raise your feet about six inches from the ground, rotate your feet in a clock wise direction slowly making a circle until you get back to the starting point, hold them there for a count of two, then go back counter clockwise to original starting point and start again without putting your feet on the floor. Start doing it to a count of ten, then build up the count so you get slower and slower, and overtime increase the number of circles you do, the aim is to do twenty circles at the count of twenty per circle. expect to be knackered at first.
