    Default Re: Abs

    I do hanging knee raises, L-hangs, hanging leg lifts, V-crunches, leg lifts off the floor and side bends/sit ups with my 35 lb. kettlebell.

    Not all in one day or anything though, I normally pick one or two of those exercises and do sets of them a few times a week.


    Regular crunches and situps do nothing for me anymore. :/

    Default Re: Abs

    I used to be -this- close to having a six pack. I do crunches, reverse crunches, crunches with a pelvic tilt, side bends with 5lb weights in my hands and Pilates/belly dancing tapes.

    I love my abs. Even right now, flabby as they are.

    I was doing those sit up things where you put your hands behind your head and twist till your elbow touches the opposite knee... That is the exercise that makes me feel it the most. I did some yesterday for the first time in a really long time and I'm all sore. I love that feeling.

    I don't mind crunches or side bridges. Otherwise, I tend to find ab work fairly painful. The results are pleasing though.

    About 10 different variations on a stability ball. More comfortable than being on the floor.

    I love the stability ball for abs. I use a foam roller too so I can get full range of motion. No crunches on the floor for me! Hanging reverse crunche are another fave. I get most of my oblique work in when I teach cardiokickbox classes.

    I sit on the ball with a rope behind my head connected to a pulley system with weights and do crunches. I also do the wood chopping exercise (not actually chopping wood) but my trainer calls it that where you use the pulley weights system again and do these side exercises that resemble the action of chopping wood. They really work your obliques.

    I also do incline crunches, normal crunches, leg raises, hanging leg raises, side crunches and I cant even think of the rest right now.

    Running also helps bring out the abs and boxing is particular good at working the abs..

    Most of what I do are dance-type exercises. Use ab isolations and concentrate on swiveling, contracting, and shifting different sections of your abs. Not to completely replace a regular ab workout I suppose, but it's fun and contributes to the sleekness of your tummy!
