6-pack-exercises in 2 weeks

I love folks. I truly do. Ask any and all those in my life of this reality and it'll be a unanimous view. But when it boils down to finding that hidden gem of knowledge to get a six pack, I sometimes stop for a second, look them in the eye and ask this one question [*SCO]'Do you actually want a six pack?' seems like a clear answer, but I'll tell you this, it's a lot of tough work, dedication and a constant drive of determination. I like to support what I call a little bit of'fun weight' to where you have the ability to flex back and forth between a ripped torso and a somewhat soft look that has the background of late night grubbin and weekend foolishness. But to each his very own and if that answer to my socially implicated query is still indeed a yes, well goodness gracious I'd better shoot you down the right path. With that being said, below you'll find my favourite of all favourites six Pack Exercise. This workout movement will undoubtedly help build the intestinal muscles and at last strengthen your core as a whole. Don't get too thrilled now, you may still have to lose that nice small grab bag of body fat that you've put so many hours of beer drinking and pizza inhaling time into. Otherwise, your tough work will forever hide underneath the surface and remain a secret that you and only you will know exists.
The Exercise - Hanging Leg Raises w/ the Valeo Ab Straps

first I would like to break down the style of my abdominal workout. I like to choose three of my favorite exercises which will permit me to target the upper area of my abs, the lowers, and the obliques. I do a superset of the three exercises for a total of 1 set and I repeat this three times. As with any other muscle grouping being worked, the rep range must fall in line with other movements of approximately 8-15 depending on the exercise movement. One key factor focus I always stress is the concept of a controlled negative with a two 2nd pause at the contraction portion of the movement. Make sure you exhale utterly as you hold this two 2nd pause. With the rep range falling between 8-15, you can very likely have to do weighted abdominal exercises also.

The Ab workout will breakdown like this :

three Exercises ( one upper, 1 lower, 1 oblique )
Example Exercises

* Weighted Swiss Ball Crunch
* Hanging Leg Raises
* Oblique wire crunch

to check, you'll be wanting to superset the 3 exercises for three sets. Always concentrating on a 2 2nd hold at the contraction portion of the exercise. Make sure to give yourself a rest period between each superset. And that's it. Do this 1-2 times per week just as any other muscle group, and you're all set.
Hanging Leg Raises

Ok. Now that we've gone over the basics of the final intestinal routine, let's focus on just one of the core exercise movements that I totally love. I have used the Valeo Ab Straps for well over six years now and I'll continue to swear on them. If the Ab straps do not fit into your budget, or even if you forget them at home, you can always use your Lifting Straps ( comprehensive necessary for back coaching day incidentally ) as a secondary means to accomplish the same task. Not quite as comfortable and fluid a motion, but it will still get the task finished. Anyway, let's dig into the movement and talk about some of the points to consider while you are executing the exercise. But first, have a look below to get a visual at what we're talking about
[Hanging Leg Raises]

a glance at the straps in action

now you have a visual, let's discuss some key basics to consider while performing this exercise. You may wish to start by performing the exercise as it is being shown on the left here. You will bend your knees and lift up your legs towards your chest. As you bring your knees to your chest, make sure you exhale all of the oxygen from your lungs. This will guarantee a full contraction of the intestinal muscles. The exercise itself will cause your body to sway from front to back. This could make you use your stabilizer muscles to keep from swaying ( another positive from the exercise ). Do a set of 8-12 reps, depending on how many you can execute and then continue on with your superset. After you feel you are blazing thru the reps without much strain, you can raise the power by doing these with straight legs. You can be emailing me in a fit of painful fury But hey, a little hard work never hurt anyone.

And there you have it. My favorite of all favorites six Pack Exercise. Get some Ab Straps and go to town. You will adore em I promise!
