My dad and I both use a very good ab workout!. It works different parts of your abs, and strategically rests the muscles you aren't using while exercising the ones you are working with!. The best part is, it doesn't take too long and you don't need any equipment besides maybe a mat, but you can just do it on a carpet!.
Here is how to complete the workout:
The workout uses a 5-part cycle!. In each part, you do the same number of repetitions!. I suggest you start with 8-12 reps, and every week add 2 reps!. If you find its too many reps, just lower the number of reps by 2!. 20 reps is about the highest i recommend!. I now do about 14-16 reps!.
After you complete a cycle, rest for 30-60 seconds, and repeat, then rest 30-60 seconds, and repeat the cycle a 3rd time!. You use this workout 3-5 times a week, and you will have nice toned abs!.
The 5-part cycle:
1!. leg extensions (lay on your back and lift your legs off the ground!. bring your knees slowly towards your chest and back out until they are fully extended a few inches off the ground!. Your legs should never touch the floor!.) **one rep is bringing your knees in then extending back out
2!. crunches-for upper abs (arms folded behind your neck, lift your head and shoulders off the ground)
3!. side crunches-for core (arms folded behind your neck, twist to touch your right elbow to your left knee and vise versa) **one rep counts as 1 left crunch + 1 right crunch
4!. side planks-for obliques (lie on your side with both legs fully extended and lift BOTH legs to the side {upward} and back down!. use your lower arm as support for your head and use your upper arm to keep from tipping one way)
5!. pelvic twist-for lower abs (lay flat on your back and extend your legs so that the angle your body is positioned in is as close to 90 degrees as you can go while still being able to complete the exercise!. twist at your waist so that your legs almost touch the ground on the side and twist the other way so your legs almost touch the other side!. keep the angle of your body the same!. your legs shouldn't touch the ground and your back should not leave the ground or move at all ideally!.) **moving your legs to one side is one rep, and then moving it to the other side is another full rep
This workout really doesn't take too long, especially once you get the hang of it!. I use this workout with jogging on the treadmill and weights (little weight, many reps)!.
If you also wish to tone your thighs i suggest running, biking and stairs!.
If you want information, tips, or help when you are working out, ask a personal trainer, gym teacher, physical therapist, or worker at your gym or recreation center!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
