Best Abs Exercises

By James Statham

Are you looking for some abs exercises that actually give yout the results you want? Well in this article, I will be revealing to you exactly what exercises have been proven to work, and what exercises have been over-hyped and are massively ineffective. Not only this, but I will be telling you on what foods you need to be avoiding if you want to get ripped, and what foods that you need to be eating. So what exercises should you avoid?

Now I'm sure you've come across many of the traditional abs exercises, that people like to think are the best way to get ripped. Well I've got news for you, they suck! People seem to think that because you're specifically targeting your abs, you'll see quick results in that area. The two things you need to do, to get a visible six pack, is raise your metabolism and lower body fat levels. Crunches are not a good exercise, because they do neither of these two things. Now I'm going to tell you the exercises you should be doing.

The best abs exercises are those that are of high intensity, and target lots of different muscle groups. Most bodybuilders like to use machines to target specific muscle groups. When you want to burn fat quickly though, you need to use free weights which will use other muscles to help stabilize yourself. So not only will your abs get stronger, but your body will become leaner all over! Your metabolism will begin to rise, and that makes it far easier to burn fat from all areas of your body!

One of my favourite abs exercises is the good, old fashioned pull up. I love this exercise, because all you need is a bar to pull yourself up with! Just pull yourself up on the bar slowly, and then raise yourself back down slowly, make sure not to just drop on the way down. You're lifting your own body weight, and works out your entire upper body. Perform this exercise until you can no longer lift yourself back up.

Now even if you are doing the correct abs exercises, it will all be for nothing if you haven't sorted your diet out. Contrary to what some of the fitness magazines say, you don't have to go on a extreme low calorie diet to get lean and ripped. However, you can't expect to eat whatever you like and trim away that belly fat. You should aim to cut out most of the rubbish foods from your diet, such as confectionary and fizzy drinks. Another important factor in getting ripped, is to make sure you're eating foods that are high in protein. Protein is the single most important building block to getting muscle, so make sure your eating lots of it!

Now once you have gained knowledge on the practical side of getting ripped abs, you need to have absolute dedication. If you don't stay on track, then you won't get a lean body and you'll still have that layer of belly fat! - 29951
