The Essential Warm-up

Warming up prior to every weight training session is a must.Warming up the muscles to improve blood circulation and preparing the tendons and ligaments is essential. You will find if you warm up thoroughly that you can actually lift heavier weights without the constant concern of muscle injury. Now for those chiselled abs exercises. 

Exercise 1 Ab Blasting Crunch

Forget normal crunches lets get advanced for greater results

Lie on the floor in the Crunch position, knees bent, hands over ears, or resting on the back of the head.

Raise up using your ab power 10 inches and hold the position for 6 seconds. Squeeze the abs in this contracted position. Then still keeping the tension on the abs return slowly and in a controlled fashion to the starting position, this should take 5 seconds. Repeat until you physically cannot do anymore reps. Have a short rest no longer than 20 seconds and pump out some normal crunches.

Exercise 2 Hanging Leg Raises

Hanging Leg Raises are a superb exercise for building the lower abdominals.

Hang from a chining, arms extended with a shoulder width grip.Raise your legs knees together to chest level and tense your abs with no swinging. Tense the abs hard while holding this position for 5 seconds. Slowly lower your legs and repeat. Always aim for no less than 10 reps.

Exercise 3 Pulley Rope Crunch

This exercise is my favourite for blasting those six pack abs.

Use a cable machine with a high pulley attach a rope and grab the end of the rope with your hands. Pull the rope down so that you are kneeling on the floor with your hands positioned just above your head, ensure that your hands stay firmly locked in this position. Pull down using your abs by bending forward at the waist all the way to the floor, squeeze your abs hard then slowly return to the starting position keeping your abs tensed all the way. Do no lower than 10 reps. Repeat these ab exercises on a daily basis to achieve dramatic fat loss.
