\"\"<\/p>\n

If you want sculpted abs, you need to lose belly fat. Who wants to waste time trying to get invisible sculpted abs? Do an exercise routine that targets your abs and obliques. The key to developing core strength and sculpting those muscles is having the right training program to follow. Exercise number 7 can make a big difference to your abs, even though it’s not typically associated with abs.<\/p>\n

1. Cable Crunch<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Your six-pack will be worked by cable crunches. Pull your torso down toward your thighs as you bend from the waist, working your abs. For best results, aim to do 3 sets of 10-20 repetitions.<\/p>\n

2. Standard Crunch<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Adding in standard crunches as part of an ab-focused workout is a good idea, but they can strain your back if you’re not used to it. Crunches work your abs and tone them quickly. While crunches are great for your abs, they won’t work your entire core and won’t burn fat. Start with one set of 10-25 repetitions and work your way up to two sets as you get stronger.<\/p>\n

3. Seated Barbell Twist<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Seated barbell twists work your obliques. Ideally, your elbow should be over the opposite knee, but if it hurts at first, move it as far away as possible, as you’re more likely to injure yourself the first time. You can start with two sets of 10 repetitions and gradually work your way up to three sets of 15 to 20 repetitions.<\/p>\n

4. Russian Twist<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you don’t have all the equipment needed for some exercises, the Russian twist is an ideal exercise to do at home. This exercise is not only easy to master, but it also works your entire core, including your abs, obliques, and even your glutes. Start with 3 sets of 15 repetitions and gradually work your way up to 3 sets of 25 repetitions.<\/p>\n

5. Advanced Russian Twist<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Once you have mastered the Russian twist mentioned in point 4, you can move on to a more advanced version once you have mastered the basic one. If you lift your feet a few inches off the ground and keep them there the entire time you are performing this exercise, you will feel the burn in those abs. Start with one set of 10 repetitions and gradually work your way up to three sets of 15 repetitions.<\/p>\n

6. Leg raises<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Leg raises are the most effective abdominal exercises and also one of the most difficult. They focus primarily on the abs, but also have secondary benefits for your entire core and your upper arms and shoulders. This exercise targets specific areas when you’ve already achieved a high level of overall strength. Start with five sets of three to five repetitions, working your way up to 15 repetitions per set.<\/p>\n

7. Aerobic Exercise<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In order to get perfect abs, many people skip cardio. Although cardio doesn’t directly help build muscle, it effectively burns fat. If you’re not good at running, try something else instead. Rowing, spinning, skipping rope, swimming, boxercise, and Zumba are just a few examples of cardio exercises you can try. You should do at least one cardio session per week, but ideally it should include 3-5 20-minute sessions.<\/p>\n

8. Flutter Kick<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Your glutes, quads, and mid and lower abs get an effective workout with flutter kicks (also known as scissor kicks), plus you’ll burn abdominal fat and tone your major core muscles. Then, do three sets of 25 repetitions, or set a timer and kick continuously for a minute, working up to 50 kicks per set.<\/p>\n

9. Reverse Crunch<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Reverse crunches focus on your lower abs but also work your obliques, making them a great all-around exercise. Not only are reverse crunches great in the gym, but you can also do them at home on a mat. Start with 3 sets of 10 repetitions and work your way up to 3 sets of 25 repetitions.<\/p>\n

10. Reverse Oblique Crunch<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Reverse oblique crunches (also known as decline oblique crunches) target the obliques, which are often overlooked when focusing on the abdominal muscles. Use this exercise to pull your abs in to the sides for a more streamlined look. Reverse oblique crunches can be done by anyone with a moderate to high fitness level. You should do 8-10 repetitions on the first set and 15 repetitions on the second set.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
