For years I've tried all sorts of exercises for my lower ab workout ,and I would like to introduce you to my favorite exercise combinationthat works very well for me. I always thought that only ab specificexercises were effective for developing abdominal muscles. It was onlymuch later on that I discovered that this was not true at all. That iswhy I never got any good results! I found that muscle building onlycould be successful, you have to include exercises that also helpedwith fat burn. Sure, by doing sit up's and crunches, you are working on your abs.Problem is that these type of exercises for your stomach muscles doesnot help you to get rid of body fat. You have to burn the fat for themuscles to show! In reality, you will be the owner of a nice set of sixpack abdominals, hidden underneath your tummy fat! If you feel withyour fingers, you will actually discover that the muscles are there,hidden beneath the fat layer. You might be surprised to notice that these exercises are not reallythe traditional ab related exercises. They are actually designed to behighly effective with fat burn as well as muscle building. You willalso notice that these exercises are in an interval format, becauseinterval training is much more effective and not boring as thetraditional sit-up's. Workout one: - (with dumbbells and bar bell) a). Get into a push-up position, clenching 2 dumbbells of yourpreferred weight in your fists. Now lift one arm until your fistclenching the dumbbell is in line with your chest. You will nowdiscover that you will have to stabilize your body with the other arm -making those abs work overtime. Now alternate your arms. so that theother one comes up parallel with your chest. if you are not used tothis type of exercise, you can alternate for six to eight times. Whenfinished with the workout,take a break for about sixty seconds. I was very excited with this new facts that I discovered and started myown research for an efficient workout to burn fat and develop my abssimultaneously. I was also looking for a short but effective workout.So please let me introduce you to my favorite lower ab workout. I amexercising 3 times a week ensuring that I maintain my flat stomach. c). Mountain climber: In the push-up position, shuffle your one leg tothe front, so that your knee and foot ends up beneath your chest. Nowshoot this leg back to its original position while shooting the otherleg forward to underneath you chest. Alternate your legs like this for6 to 8 times. Again, rest for about 1 minute Want to burn even more fat and get results faster? Well, then have a 5 to 10 minute rest and continue with the following: c). Walk fast for about 1 and a half minutes. b). With your legs slightly apart, stand up straight. Support a barbell of your preferred weight on the front of your shoulders. Hold itin position with your crossed arms. Make sure that you are comfortablewith stabilizing the barbell in position. Now do six to eight squats -up and down with the weight resting on your front shoulders. Again,rest for about 60 seconds after completion of this exercise. This brings you to the end of round one ! You must now start from thetop again, repeating this tri-set of exercises again for the secondtime. A good workout should consist of about three to four rounds. Asyou get more used to the exercises, you can increase the intensity,doing more counts and more intervals. You can see illustrations ofWorkout 1 lower ab exercises a). Warm up by walking at a fast pace for about four minutes. b). Now speed up and run at a comfortable speed for about a minute. d). Now run as fast as you can for 60 seconds. e). End by walking fast for a minute and 30 seconds. Workout #2: - (Short Run & walk exercise) e). Walk at a fast pace again for about 1 and a half minutes. This is the end of this interval set, and now you can walk slowly forabout 30 to 60 seconds, before repeating this exercise again. Do thisfor about 3 to 4 times in the beginning for an intense 20 minuteworkout. If you are not used to exercising, please start slow in the beginning,and also consult with your doctor to make sure that it is safe for youto do the training. d). Run as fast as you can for about a minute. If you do above routines at least three times a week, you mostdefinitely will see results in 30 to 45 days. Interval training isdefinitely much more interesting than just doing crunches everyday. You can even do this running workout on a treadmill, or change it into a paddling exercise on a bicycle!
