Here are my 3 favorite abdominal exercises in which none involve lying on your back and curling your shoulder blades off the ground, or any type of movement that requires you to perform hundreds of situps while lying on the ground.
These 3 ab exercises can be performed in circuit fashion for an excellent abdominal workout that will work your abs really well and help burn belly fat without placing stress on your lower back.
The first exercise is the ab wheel. To begin you want to put your knees on the ground and place your body in the upright position. Rollout, keeping your back straight, while squeezing your abs and then return to the starting position. Repeat.
Next, you will immediately move on to stability ball jackknives. There are all sorts of variations of this exercise. For example, you can rest your elbows on a bench with your feet on a stability ball, placing your body in a plank-like position. In this case, you will brace your abs and tuck your knees into your chest and then back out.
To make this exercise even more difficult you can do one-leg stability ball jackknives. So, when one leg tucks in, the other kicks out.
You may also want to try stability ball jackknives with a bit of rotation. This will involve bringing your knees to one side and then to the other.
Another alternative is to perform stability ball jackknives with your hands on the ground, with an additional push up added in for good measure.
The final abdominal exercise in this circuit is the cross body mountain climber. Instead of the regular mountain climber where you bring your knees to your chest, with the rotation you are going to bring your knee to the opposite elbow. This way you include a rotation element and work your abs extra hard.
These abs exercises will give you great results, burn belly fat, and get you ripped abs!

Home Workout !!!SIX PACK ABS!!! How to gain muscle and lose fat FAST (not easy) Brandon Carter
Wednesday, February 17th, 2010
Go to http://BuildMuscleBurnFat.info/ my FREE workout plan Build Muscle and Burn Fat FAST AS HELL!
Keys to getting a six pack:
You can have the greatest, most muscular set of abs in the world, but if they are blanketed by a layer of body fat, who cares. In order to rid yourself of the extra body fat around your midsection, you need to incorporate effective cardio sessions into your fitness plan. You cannot spot-reduce the midsection by doing extra ab exercises like crunches or sit-ups. You first must burn off the body fat through proper cardio to properly define the area.
Abdominal training by itself will not do much. Cardio needs to be intense enough to do the trick. Three to four sessions a week of intense jogging, running, the Stairmaster, the elliptical, jumping rope, or biking should be enough to get the process in gear. Swimming, hiking, and taking aerobics classes are beneficial as well. Nothing beats jogging or running. It is the most intense, efficient, and effective method of burning calories. If running outside hurts your joints, try running inside on a treadmill or outside on a dirt path. It definitely is easier on the body.
Again, you NEED three to four intense cardio sessions a week to help create a calorie deficit and help rid the body of the fat that covers your abs.
Proper Nutrition:
Do not sabotage your results in the gym by giving yourself a passport to pig out. Ridding the body of fat once and for all is accomplished by proper nutrition more so than incorporating cardio. At the end of the day, if you have consumed more calories than you have expended, you add body fat. So you need to burn more calories than you consume.
Nutrition is important because you can reduce the amount of calories you take in, therefore greatly having an effect on the amount which you have to expend through cardio. Eat five to six small, well-balanced meals spaced apart about every three to four hours. Try to keep something healthy on hand.
If not, when you become real hungry, you will opt for something that isn’t as good for you. When you become overly hungry, all rational thinking goes out the window.
But it is important to get something in you. Not eating on time or at all is almost as bad as eating too much. Keep protein intake high (approximately 50% of daily calories), carbs moderate (40%), and fats minimal (10%).
Muscle fiber is made of tightly-wound protein molecules that is damaged during a workout, so you need more protein than the sedentary person to help that muscle tissue repair. Carbohydrates have an important role in the body, but do not base your meals on them. Try to avoid simple sugars like cane sugar, honey, fruit juices, syrups, and even a lot of fruit.
Drink at least a gallon of clean water each day as well. It will help in nutrient absorption and digestion and will help flush toxins from the body.
Bottom line, make sure you are supplying your body with well-balanced, healthy food every three to four hours.
Weight training The Abdominals:
Here is where most people go wrong in their attempt to develop their abs. I often ask those I train, “Would you train your biceps with sets of 50 reps with no weight?” Of course, they say “no.” How about your chest, 50 reps with no weight? Another no. I then ask, “Then why would you do that with your abs?”
Here’s an important key. If you want proper ab development, you need to add resistance (weight) to your ab exercises. Abs are muscles just like biceps, triceps, pecs, glutes, whatever. You need resistance to properly strengthen and build them. The same goes for abdominals

Medicine Ball Ab Workout Exercises

http://www.TurbulenceTraining.com
Youre about to discover an amazing medicine ball abdominal exercise circuit published in Men’s Health Medicine magazine from the December 2008 issue.
If you’ve seen the magazine, then you will have seen there are a lot of crunches and even some sit-ups in there. But, if you’re not an advanced college athlete, then you probably don’t need to be doing those exercises. You especially want to avoid those types of exercises if you sit at a desk all day and have lower back problems.
So, I’m going to take most of the exercises from that program and do them in this circuit, but replace the sit-ups and crunches with alternative versions that are still effective for your abs, but easier on your lower back.
This is going to be a 10 exercise circuit, with 20 repetitions per exercise. If you’re advanced, then you can use a medicine ball; otherwise you can use a basketball, or a soccer ball.
You will start the medicine ball abdominal circuit with the big circles exercise. So, place the ball above your head and then bring it down and around, and up the other side, and then around again. Continue this motion for 10 repetitions, and then switch directions for another 10 repetitions.
The second abdominal exercise is the Woodchopper. To perform this exercise, place the ball out in front of you and swing the ball straight up and down, making sure to squat down while bringing the ball down. Repeat for 20 repetitions.
Once you’ve completed all of the Woodchoppers, then move on to the Golf Squat Chop. Start with the ball beside your head and then bring the ball down to the opposite foot and then right back up. As you are returning the ball to the starting position, be sure to twist your hips slightly and raise that opposite foot. Complete 10 repetitions for each side.
After the Golf Squat Chop, you’ll move onto the Squat Press. With the ball in front of you, squat down, and on the way up, press the ball above your head. As you squat down, bring the ball down with you and then back up again. Again, perform this exercise for 20 repetitions.
Next up in the medicine ball circuit is the Plank Rollout. To do this abdominal exercise, place your elbows on the medicine ball, and then roll the ball out and in while in the plank position. Complete 20 repetitions for this exercise.
Once you’ve finished all the repetitions for the plank rollout, quickly move on to Mountain Climbers. Place your hands on the ball while down in the push-up position, and bring your knee up to your chest, performing 10 repetitions per side.
The next exercise is the McGill Crunch, named after Dr. Stuart McGill. In this abdominal exercise, one leg is bent which helps to take the stress off of the lower back. So, lie flat on your back, with one knee bent and place the ball above your head. Next, you will curl up, just lifting your shoulders up off the ground, and then back down. Perform 10 repetitions for each knee.
After the McGill crunches, you’ll move onto a diagonal Lunge Chop. For your starting position, stand with your feet hip width apart, and the ball raised above your head. Now, you will step into a forward lunge and swing the ball diagonally across your body, and then back up. Be sure to alternate sides, completing 10 repetitions per side.
Next, you’ll perform the Medicine Ball Rollout. So on your knees, place your hands on the ball in front of you. Roll the ball out, making sure to keep your back nice and straight and then back in. In this ab exercise you do not need to go out very far, but just enough to feel a stretch in your abdominals.
Finally, you’ll finish off with the medicine ball Jackknife exercise. Again, you will be using a shorter range of motion. To get in position for this exercise, place your body in the push-up position, place your feet on the ball, and then bring your knees in as much as possible. Perform 20 repetitions and that’s it!

The Best Valentine Day Stomach Exercise Routine

If you want to get a slim stomach and six pack abs, then you need to stop wasting your time on useless crunches and dangerous sit-ups. Instead, you need to focus on 21st Century ab workout exercises to get more results in less time.
Heres an effective four-exercise Pre-Fatigue Abdominal Circuit where you are going to fatigue the abdominals with classic endurance exercises and then follow it up with a dynamic moving exercise.
In the first exercise, start with a simple abdominal plank, holding that position for 45 seconds while bracing your abs, breathing normally, and maintaining your body in a straight line. That will pre-fatigue your abdominals for the second exercise.
Next, you will perform stability ball jackknives for 15 repetitions. At this point in the workout, your abs will be slightly fatigued from the previous exercise, so pay special attention to your form. This is the perfect combination of abdominal exercises to help you strengthen your abs and build the six pack muscles.
(Of course, you also have to do interval training to burn belly fat and find the right diet to help you lose belly fat. I highly recommend you stick to whole, natural foods to lose stomach fat and use short, burst interval training to burn fat in less than 20 minutes, only three times per week.)
The third abdominal exercise in the circuit will fatigue both the obliques and abdominals and is called the side plank. While holding for 30 seconds per side, be sure to maintain your body in a straight line, keeping your hips up, and your chest rotated outwards.
Brace your abs to work them harder than ever. This simple exercise is far more effective than crunches, and works your obliques extra hard. Plus, the side plank pre-fatigues your obliques for the final exercise.
The last abs workout exercise in the circuit is the cross body stability ball mountain climber. To get into position, place your hands on the floor, your feet on the ball, and bring your knee across your body to your opposite elbow. This is a powerful exercise for your six pack abs and obliques.
Once completing the Pre-Fatigue Abdominal Circuit, go through and complete it 2 more times for a total of 3 circuits. Youll be shocked at how hard you can work your abs without situps, crunches, or any of the ab gadgets that are really just a waste of money.
All you need is your bodyweight and an exercise ball to work your abs as hard as any pilates or yoga session, or as hard as any $39.95 infomercial machine.
After finishing the abs exercises circuit, do 5 minutes of fat burning Bodyweight squats, completing as many reps as you can do within that time frame. So, for example, you may choose to do sets of 10, 20, go to failure, or 30 seconds on, 30 seconds off.
It doesn’t really matter, as long as you are focused on form and going at a steady pace. In terms of hand placement, you can put them down at your sides, behind your head, outstretched in front of you, or even below your neck. Record how many reps you are able to do within the 5 minute window and try to improve upon that number each week.
I hope you enjoyed the abs exercises circuit workout and bodyweight interval training program. Both of these workouts will guarantee that youll get a slim tummy, flattened abs, and even a razor sharp set of six pack abdominals.

Pistol squat – bodyweight leg exercise
Saturday, December 26th, 2009
CLICK HERE for a FREE WORKOUT!!
http://www.turbulencetraining.com
A lot of people wonder how to do the pistol squat, how to improve at it, or just where to even start. So this video is going to take the beginner or intermediate through the stages all the way up to the advanced level.
First of all, this exercise is for relatively strong or advanced individuals. If you have never done this exercise before, then you can start by using a bench for support. So, set up with a bench behind you and stand on one leg, placing your other foot as well as both arms out in front. Now, sit back onto the bench and then come right back up. This is one way in which you can practice this exercise.
If you’re ready to progress to the more difficult version of the pistol squat, then remove the bench. Again, place your hands and foot out in front of you, sit back as much as possible and then come back up. Be sure to keep your elevated foot off the ground, and do as many repetitions as possible without losing your balance.
This is a very difficult bodyweight exercise but excellent for building muscle, burning both fat and calories, and really improving your sports-specific training. Remember to start off where you’re comfortable and work your way up.
