4 Rules to Follow With Your Abdominal Workouts

Author: Matthew Stevens

Working out is not enjoyable for most people and is one of the reasons why people get lazy. This is precisely why it is so difficult for many to set up a consistent workout routine. Because of this, you want to make sure you make the most of your time while exercising. To help you get the best results with your abdominal workouts, here are four rules to follow.

1. Stability

After warming up, the first type of exercises you want to do are stability exercises. These types of exercises are going to use your body weight as resistance. Some of the exercises you can choose from within this category include crunches, flutter kicks and reverse crunches. You want to make sure you do this type of exercise intensely until you cannot do any more. There should be no limit or set number of repetitions that you are going to do.

2. Stability with resistance

As soon as you have completed your stability workout you want to immediately follow that with a stability and resistance workout. These are going to be pretty much the same type of exercise except you are going to add weight. There are a number of options you can choose from including incline bench crunches, a weighted crunch or a weighted straight leg crunch. The point is to make it that much more difficult to build up those abdominal muscles. By using weight you will start to see a difference in the way you feel and carry yourself. Building up a strong abdomen is important to the core strength of your body.

3. Core strengthening

The third rule is to follow the first two exercises with a core strengthening exercise of some kind. Out of all of the exercises you are going to do, these are going to be the most complex movements. Some popular core strengthening exercises to consider include the Plank, Side Plank, and the Superman. All of these involve you lying down. If you are going to be standing up, you can do cable torso twists or woodchoppers. If you have been in a gym recently you might want to take a look at the 'crunch' or abs area and see what kind of exercises people do. You will be able to see what these exercises look like, rather than just reading about them. These core strengthening exercises work and if you ever get a workout DVD of some type you will most likely see these same principles in the workouts.

4. Unbalanced

The last rule is to finish your workout with unbalanced exercises. These are going to be the hardest part of your workout because it is the last part, but you want to finish with a bang. The idea is to throw your body out of balance. You can do this by getting into a push-up position with your body straight and then lift one arm toward the ceiling. You can then repeat this on the other side.

By following these four rules you will build solid abdominal muscles, which is vital being that they are the core muscles of your body. Just know that if you want to get results you need to be willing to put in the time and effort on a consistent basis.

Exercise is just as important to your health as is eating a balanced diet. Workout dvds are popular during an economic decline because gym memberships are so expensive. The difficult part is learning to exercise the right way. Workouts such as the p90x fitness routine teach this.
