Are you looking for a great set of Abs?

Whether you do your workout in a fully equipped gym or you just do it at home, the last thing you'd want to do is waste your time. I have seen far too many people working on pointless and ineffective exercise routines that are just effort for nothing or will only produce minor results.

Remember: the more efficient you become with your workout, the faster you will get the abs you are dreaming of.

But some parts of the routine you can't do without - like warming up. Your chances of creating an injury will be multiplied several times over if you don't take a few minutes to warm up properly. Some simple stretching and calisthenics - like lunges and squats - are okay for your warm up.

When you are ready to get going with your abs-building workout, there are FOUR golden rules to remember. I don’t care who has designed your abs-building program, don’t forget or overlook these golden rules.

1. Stability Exercises

Stability exercises come after your warm up exercises. Stability exercises use your own body weight as resistance. These exercises should be worked out intensely until you can’t do any more and there is no limit to the number of repetitions. You simple do them until you can’t do another one!

Flutter kicks, crunches, reverse crunches, and several other abs-building workout exercises come under this category. You can do nearly all stability exercises at home because you don’t need any special apparatus.

2. Stability with Resistance Exercises

The next rule is to follow immediately with stability resistance exercises. These are more or less the same exercises that you have just done – but now you are going ADD WEIGHTS.

A weighted crunch, incline bench crunch, or a weighted straight leg crunch are some perfect examples for abs building resistance exercises.

3. Core Strengthening Exercises

Now a word about core strength exercises: I see numerous wannabe ‘great abbs’ blasting away at crunches etc without a thought about the foundation they’re ‘building’ these masterpieces upon.

So the next golden rule is to follow with core strengthening exercises. These include the most complex movements of all. They require exact body position and execution.

Some core strengthening exercises that you can do lying down are the Plank, the Side Plank, and the Superman. Core strengthening exercises that you do standing are cable torso twists, woodchoppers, and "around the world." You could also use some home gym equipment for these.

4. Unbalanced Exercises

Final rule: finish your workout with unbalanced exercises. These are the hardest part of your total routine. The idea here is to do an exercise that actually throws your body out of balance.

For example, you might get into a push-up position with your body straight, then lift one arm toward the ceiling and open your entire torso to that side. Repeat on the other side. Very hard to do, even if you're in awesome shape!

Five or ten of each unbalanced exercise should be sufficient. You can't and shouldn't do many reps of the exercises.

Remember no workout "works" unless you eat the right foods and build up your workouts properly, as outlined above per session, but also over your whole program.

Keep these 4 golden rules in mind when developing your workout routine.

And here’s a one last tip –there is litter point developing a great set of abs if they can’t be seen by others because they are buried under an excessive layer of body fat. So to make those abs really “shine” get yourself on a high protein low carbohydrate diet, there are thousands of great diet plans around they range from good practical plans that will show you how to speed up metabolism to help strip that fat away,to the completely ridicules like the baby food diet . So when choosing a diet plan use your head.
