Great Ab Workout Exercises

by Sean C.

In this article I wanted to bring you one of the best means of cutting up your abs fast. Tri-sets will have your metabolism racing and your ab fat running in fear as it's days are numbered. Forget about sit-ups and crunches. It's time to work smarter than ever before with this top notch ab workout.

The following three exercises make up this tri-set (rotating between three different exercises).

* Dumbell Rows Renegade Style

* Front Squats Using Barbell

* Mountain Climbers on Floor

Each set should consist of eight repititions. If you find yourself struggling to do eight reps then lower the amount of weight. Begin by doing 3 or 4 sets of the squats and rows while doing around 30 seconds of the mountain climbers.

Dumbell Rows Renegade Style: Place both of your hands on the dumbbells whicle in the pushup position. Balance with one arm and row the dumbbell upward with the other. Place the dumbbell back to the start and switch arms. When done properly you will feel a nice ab burn. What is happening is your midsection is having to balance your body.

Barbell Style Front Squats: Once again here is an exercise that inadvertently works your abs while giving you an awesome leg workout. Stand straight with a barbell laying across the front of your shoulders. Cross you arms to hold the barbell against your body. A rep consist of lowering your body to just past parallel and then returning to standing position.

Mountain Climbers Floor Style: This exercise does not have a specific amount of reps to be completed. Instead you will be doing this set for a specific amount of time. 30 seconds is a good place to start. When done quickly and in proper form your abs will get a great workout. Assume the push-up position. Move the right knee up to your chest and back again to the start. Alternate between legs.

Short rest between sets are key to increasing your metabolism. Follow the steps above and don't let others in the gym distract you. With proper implementation of ab workouts like the one above you will achieve your ab goals in no time.
