Crunches Are The Least Most Effective Abs Workout

Instead of the typical ab exercise routines that we see so often with crunches, situps, leg lifts, etc… This article is intended to help you discover how to get a six pack fast through using a workout that provides high intensity stabilization techniques. Stop doing the abs exercises that claim to be the best for six pack abs and try a better high intensity workout that workouts the whole body, not just your abs.

I'm going to show you an example today of one of my favorite ab workouts that doesn't include any direct ab exercises at all. This work out it set up in a tri-set format (similar to a super set).

Here goes:

1a. Renegade Dumbbell Rows

1b. Front Squats with Barbell

1c. Mountain Climbers on Floor

For each exercise, 3-4 sets of 8 reps would be a great rep scheme to follow.  You can also do more sets and less reps, 5 sets of 5 reps or something like that. For mountain climbers, your sets would be time intervals (every 30 seconds).

Renegade dumbbell rows are done starting in a pushup position with the hands on 2 dumbbells. Then, row one dumbbell up while keeping your body stabilized with the other arm. Then switch arms by bringing the dumbbell back to the ground and rowing the other one this time using your other arm to stabilize your body. So how does this work out my abs you may be asking?  The stabilizing effect during the rows it what creates work for your abdominals. Don’t think your abs are getting a workout, wait til you feel it in the morning!

If you are wondering how front squats are performed, they are done similar to back squats.  The only difference being that you position the barbell in front of your body on the front of your shoulders unlike in back squats when you rest them on the upper part of your back. You stabilize the barbell on your shoulders by crossing your arms and pushing your fists into the bar against your shoulders while keeping your elbows out in front of the body. This is going to take a little practice to do at first.  You may want to talk to a professional if you are trouble getting the set up of the form properly or if you aren’t sure if you are doing it correctly.  The proper form is most important when doing any exercise or workout routine. Front squats require extreme stabilization strength from the abs due to the barbell weight being shifted to the front of the body instead of the back. This is another exercise that you’ll be feeling in your abdominals area!

Mountain climbers are done by starting in a pushup position and then shuffling your feet in and out so that your knees are moving in under your chest and then back out to starting position. It gets its workout name due to the fact that it simulates climbing a mountain but you are flat on the floor. Mountain climbers is a great workout to loose stomach fat as it burns off body fat.

After doing each exercise, rest for 30 seconds then start the next one. Rest about 1-2 minutes after completing each "tri-set" before repeating.

This is undoubtedly going to give you one of the best abs workout you can have.  This all without any direct abs exercises. Do the workout and you’ll become believer too!
