...AND NO I didn't mean the one you get from the liqour store!
Here are some more advanced abdominal exercises to target different parts
of your abs! The first exercise is going to target your lower abs.
Hanging Leg Lifts
These are a great exercise to use when leg lifts on a bench become to easy
for you! We will first go through the
exercise then show you how to increase the difficulty. Start by hanging from a chin-up bar with the
body straight, then raise the legs and slowly lower them back down. Remember to keep it under control on the way
up and down so your not just swinging!
If you find these too difficult bend your knees to make it easier.
And if you’re really up for a
challenge you can hold a dumbbell between your legs to add weight to the exercise! This picture shows the barbell on the squat
rack so you can’t cheat by making sure you touch your toes to it at the top of
each rep!
Next were
going to go over a way to increase the difficulty on your planks! Planks are good to build up your transverse
abs which will help posture and build a
strong core to help support you when doing deadlifts and squats! This will also help keep a flat stomach which
isn’t bad either! Try it, this is
harder than it looks. Make it a
challenge by trying to hold your plank longer each week! Make sure to suck in the bellybutton and keep
the back straight!
The last exercise is for those 6 pack muscles that everyone
wants! Start by placing your elbows on a
bench and your toes on an exercise ball.
Now try to bring your knees to your chest and slowly back out
again! This will help with the lower and
upper abs. This can be made even hard by puttine the feet in a TRX suspension trainer insted of on an excercise ball!
These will all help scult those AB muscles we all want but remeber abs are also made in the kitchen not not just the gym! contact me today to get started on that body you want for the summer!
