14 Killer Ab Workouts With A Stability Ball

Posted in Core Training on the March 8, 2008

Although I am the biggest proponent in the world for diet as the most effective way of getting killer abs, this video does have some great exercises to help tone and build the abs muscle. Everyone has a beautiful six pack (actually eight pack) of abs up under their layers of abdominal fat. The key is to loss the fat. One must get their body fat down low enough to see these results. Developing the abdominal muscles can be done at any time. And this video will definitely add in that. I like these because they can be done at home, and really can be done as often as you would like to do them. I would recommend doing a few at a time, and even cycling these exercises, some for a month, and others the next month. Enjoy.

Monkeying Around the Monkey Bars.

I haven’t just posted exercises on my blog for a long time. This blog is where I usually post discussions or documentaries for the most part. Today however, I will post some pull-ups. That’s right, some pull-ups. They are a bit different and I will be giving these a try this summer. I have done some variations close to these, but these are still unique. These have a Ninja Warrior feel to them, if you are familiar with the show. The stabilizing muscles are what really come into play here. Try these out with me and leave your comments on how you like them. If these are really useful, I will post more of them. Enjoy.

Core fitness is a base in which much of the bodies strength comes from. Strengthening your core is a workout that you will feel more than see, which is also why is has a tendency to be overlooked in many workouts. This video below has some excellent exercises that will tighten up any midsection no matter what the condition. This video also gets to the obliques and includes some shoulders in the workout as well. This is a very good combination of exercises and will challenge even the most fit athlete when done correctly. Enjoy and work on those cores. You only get one!

Do You Like To See New Things?

Posted in Core Training on the January 17, 2008

Of course, we all do. Especially for me, I love to see exercises that I just haven’t thought of. Todays video is one of those features. Abs are a particularly stubborn area for many to develop because there are so many elements to satisfy before one can have that ever elusive 6-pack. I personally an advocate of hanging leg raises but this video offers something sort of new. It has a Eastern, Yoga feel to it in it’s approach and features twist that I have never seen before. Although I do question the stress level on the lower back, this series of exercises seem useful. I will be trying them and hopefully you will too. Enjoy the video and work hard.

Do You Have A 6-Pack Abs Or A 6-Pack Of Beer?

More than likely, you have an Anheuser-Busch product. Many people look for this allusive attribute and never find it. There have been thousands if not millions of video made claiming to improve peoples abs. Here the truth. It’s 40% genetics, 40% diet and 20% workout. These numbers are just my guess on the important elements it take to get a six pack. This video give original exercises but doesn’t mention diet. Diet is the key in my opinion. You can even overcome poor genetics (in the case of abs) with an excellent diet. Once you diet is good, then really hit the ab routines hard. Enjoy the video and stay on your quest.
