Many of you are desperate to get that famous 6 pack or at least a toned stomach. Anybody has the ability to do so, but there is two things that you need to consider to get the desired results. The first is patience - this is very important. You need to realize that you won’t get results in 1 week. To see results, its going to take at least 4 to 6 months. The second is dedication - you need to be dedicated on your exercises and diet.
OK, but what are the best exercises for ab workout? Well, the best ab exercises are actually very simple to do. A few years ago there was a study done at the Biomechanics Las In San Diego which studied 10 abdominal exercises, ranging from the old fashion crunch to more new and complex exercises, using some gym equipment. Each of the 10 exercises were ranked by muscle stimulation.
I should remind your that getting abs are not just about doing lots of exercise, but also a great diet. You need to reduce you fat percentage to about 9% or 12% depending on your body type.
The study concluded that the 3 best ab exercises are:
- Bicycle maneuver
- Captain’s chair
- Crunch on an exercise ball
They studied several exercise equipment, but the worst performing was the Ab Rocker. It didn’t produce any good results and its not worth your investment. The best was the popular exercise ball. It produced excellent results.
Here are the the 10 exercises for your abs ranked from best to worse.
- Bicycle maneuver
- Captain’s chair
- Crunches on ball
- Vertical leg crunch
- Torso Track
- Long arm crunch
- Reverse crunch
- Crunch with heel push
