Any good for your abs?
Not really.
What works?
Unfortunately there is no miracle machine to get abs, just plain old methods and non machines.
How many should you do?
To failure or aim for a time.
So on some exercises you will find you can just keep going and going, like crunches on a ball. These should be timed. Others you will find you body will begin to fatigue faster and these are the ones you should keep going to failure rather then a set amount.
Here are my top ab popping exercises.
1. The Peter Andre leg holds. These are like a Dragon flag but with a lesser intensity. Lie on a bench lengthways. Hold the bench behind your head. Raise your legs to an almost 90 degree angle keeping your upper body flat. Hold that position for 20 seconds then slowly drop your legs a little. Hold for
Another 20 seconds. Then drop to an almost flat leg position. Hold for another 20 second and then repeat!
2. Exercise ball crunches. This one is simple and feels easy. Then the next day hits ya. Do this one for a preset time and always try and ad more time as you go. Remember only crunch. No neck straining, just pull your body slightly up using your abs only!
3. Cardio! You need to shed the excess body fat before your abs can really POP! Cardio is your best answer to this. Plus you have to keep your core locked through just about any cardio exercise so bonus round for your abs there.
And though not an exercise of the physical, the only other aberefic trick is diet! Along with. Cardio this is the only other way to shed excess body fat. Keep it lean and super healthy. Pretty normal food advice but you won't see your hard work if you binge on fatty foods. Simple!
And last but not least, you dont have to incorporate these ab exercises into a one day event, pop one into your next workout as a super set in between what ever you are doing.
