Powerful Abs Workout - 4 Golden Rules
Time is something you don’t want to waste during your workouts. I see too many people at the gym using up workout time doing pointless and ineffective exercises that will NEVER produce results.
There are some things that are compulsory - Like a warm up. Inadequate or no warm up can increase your chances of injuries many times over. Simple exercises like stretching and calisthenics are all right for your warm up.
When you are ready for your abs building workout, you need to remember 4 golden rules. No matter who designs your program, you need to remember these golden rules.
1. Stability Exercises 2. Stability with Resistance Exercises 3. Core Strengthening Exercises 4. Unbalanced Exercises
1. Stability Exercises
Stability exercises come next to warm up exercises. These exercises use your body weight as resistance. These exercises are to be worked out intensely until you can do no more and shouldn’t be limited to the number of repetitions.
Crunches, flutter kicks, reverse crunches, or other exercises come under this category. Stability exercises don’t need for you to use any apparatus.
2. Stability with Resistance Exercises
Next come exercises that are a mix of stability and resistance exercises. These exercises are stability exercises with weights as resistance.
Incline bench crunch, a weighted crunch or a weighted straight leg crunch are some good examples for of stability with resistance exercises.
3. Core Strengthening Exercises
The next rule is to follow with core strengthening exercises they require exact body position and execution. They include complex movements.
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.”
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.
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. Its Very hard to do, even if you’re in great shape.
You shouldn’t and can’t do many reps of the exercises. Five or ten of each unbalanced exercise should be sufficient.
Remember no workout “works” unless you eat the right foods and build up your workouts properly.
Be sure to keep these 4 golden rules in mind when developing your workout routine. And if there’s a 5th golden rule, it’s that your form must be absolutely perfect. That’s the only way to design an effective workout that will definitely build gorgeous rock hard abs.
