A good ab workout

[Tsaunders]

Someone hit me with a good ab workout

Here is the ab routine I do on my off days--(no other training but abs) Do this at least 3 times week.

Incline situps--one set to failure----as many as you can possibly do this can take some time if you can do a lot of situps.
Hanging leg raises one set to failure--
Holding in yoga boat position--(body in a v) hold as long as you can--3 sets
Hanging leg raises one set to failure
V-ups 1 set of 20
Incline situps to failure--you should not be able to do too many without your ab muscles having spasms.

That's it. I love this routine although it is difficult.

Thanks husky, this works very well for you? I was going to alternated eod between calves and abs

when regular incline sit ups get old, i like to do medicine ball toss situps. on the incline, come up with the MB, toss against the wall, catch on the rebound, lower back down. the more you keep it over your head the greater work your abs do. you can do with a partner also.if doing with a partner, alternate left hand ,right hand, with a twist at the waist to hit the obliques good.
anlother good core exercise is the plank- elbows and toes on the ground , hold your body like a plank (straight). after you can do this for a minute or two, raise left arm/right leg,alternate right arm left leg.good for all around core strength.

I do 3 sets of cable crunches one week

Next week 3 sets of hanging leg raises.

then repeat.

medicine ball crunchs are the best...hit abs every other day, if you can handle it....
