1. Many people stick to the same types of exercises for the same basic sets and reps and rest periods with the same long boring cardio – booorrring. To get over your workout plateaus and spice it more for better results, mix it up! Try a a workout using one full body exercise, like dumbbell squat & press, and do nothing but that exercise for a intense 20 minutes.
2. Try the Bent Elbow Plank – Start off by lying on your belly and then lifting yourself onto your toes and forearms (your elbows should be lined up with your shoulders). While doing this contract your abs while trying to keep your back as neutral as possible. Now hold this position for roughly 20 seconds, and then rest. Repeat this at least 40-50 times, or until failure. If you’re a beginner, you can simply start off on your hands and knees keeping your spine neutral, and then simply contracting your abs while breathing out trying not to move your back.)
3. You will also need to get a good exercise regime going – look at multi movement exercises. It works on multiple groups of muscles and produces far better results than ab specific exercises. You won’t need to work out every single day to get those cut abs, every other day will work out just fine or maybe about three days a week, but you will need to work for it.
4. For great abs, it will take time and effort on your part to get washboard abs, and that you will need to work very hard in order to achieve this goal. This is probably the largest of all stumbling blocks for many people, the need to stay the course for a longer time period than you could wish for. However, nobody ever said that the road to washboard abs was going to be easy.
5. Focus more on multi joint complex movements as opppsed to single joint muscle isolation. Not only will you bur more calories during each workout, but you will increase your metabolic rate, stimulate more fat burning and muscle building hormones. Exercises like the squats, lunges and dead-lifts are great examples of multi movement complex exercises.
There you have it – when it comes to abs, diet is king followed by high intensity total body workouts. This is how to get ripped abs.
