Different Typed of Abs Workouts!

By Jane Lane


Make sure you consume adequate protein during the day. The term protein is derived from the Greek word proteios, meaning "primary or of first importance" This is the foundation block for a healthy diet. Every tissue in your body is made from protein. Proteins are the building blocks of muscle tissue and cells. Without it, building muscle and burning fat efficiently would be impossible. Its importance is paramount.

If you are working out with weights, keep track of how much weight you are lifting. It is a great feeling to watch those numbers climb. You can do the same with running, keep trying to outdistance yourself each day. Keeping track of your workout progress could even help you diagnose problems. If you notice there are certain days that are danger areas for you, then you can figure out what hap-pens on those days that throws you off. Just figure out the things that only happen on those days, do you see any pat-terns? Tracking progress is a nice step for your nutrition too. one of the easiest ways to do that is using the calorie counting tip from the first lesson. If you are looking for something visual you can do something like the calendar trick but related to nutrition. Everyday you eat right you put an X. So to sum up, Tracking progress is a great step in any ab seeking venture. It helps you visualize everything you have accomplished, makes it easier to diagnose negative patterns and motivates you to keep on track.

When it comes to the exercises, the number one rule is that you don't need to spend money. Turn the infomercials off! All you need is a floor and your body. If you want to get an ab ball, that's ok. The ab ball can actually help you target your abs really well, but you can do the same exercises on the floor. Some people advocate crunches to get really ripped abs and some say that sit-ups are better. The truth is that it doesn't matter what abdominal exercises you do. As long as you put some intensity into them, and you feel the burn, they will give you the rock hard abs you're wanting.

When it comes to reps and sets, do as many as you feel is necessary. Remember when I said that your body speaks to you? It will let you know when it's had enough. But make sure you push yourself and give it your all so that you're not giving up before you actually get yourself working. Remember that, in order to exercise your abdominals correctly, you have to exercise your side, upper and lower abdominals. You can do this by doing side bends, crunches, reverse crunches where you raise your butt in the air instead of your shoulders, etc.

Those exercises right there will give you a great workout that will have your abs showing before you know it, as long as you change your lifestyle and follow the rest of my advice. The goal of six pack abs mainly depends upon losing weight by completing exercises that focus on the muscles in the abdominal area. There are literally dozens of such exercises including many that are meant for other major muscle groups, but that can be modified to include a workout for your abdominal muscles.
