Have you been training for a while and are you looking for more challenge for your abs? Then we have prepared the best exercises for abs! By changing your exercises regularly, your muscles are stimulated so that they can develop further. Due to abdominal exercises, you unfortunately do not get a six pack. Curious about what you should do for that? View our blog:  How do you get a Sixpack

Why training your abs?

You use your abdominal muscles with almost every movement you make and they offer support to your back. That’s why these are super important muscles! If your abdominal muscles are too weak, then the back muscles in particular will compensate, giving you a chance of considerable injuries. Training a six -pack is just a side issue, because you need strong abdominal muscles for your health!

The abdominal muscles consist of four groups: transverse abdominal muscles, inner sloping abdominal muscle, outer sloping abdominal muscle and the straight abdominal muscle. If you want to train your abs optimally, you have to tackle all these groups!

Now that you know why you should train your abdominal muscles and how they are put together, you can lift your abdominal muscle training to a higher level. < /P>

With the Russian twist you train the entire trunk, but with emphasis around the sloping abdominal muscles (iriques).

  2. Hold a dumbbell, medicine ball or kettlebell before your stomach.
  3. Lift your feet off the floor, keep your back straight and turn your trunk and weight to the left and rec hts.

The Side Plank Crunch is a good insulation exercise to target your oblique abdominal muscles.

  2. Your feet may be spread for better stability. If you put them together more, you can look up the challenge. Focus on your abs and lift your hips off the floor. Come up and hold 2 counts.
  3. Move back to the starting position and repeat the abdominal exercise Incover euw.

Abdominal exercise #3: v ups

  2. Lift your legs and torso off the ground at the same time. Of course you do this with your abs. Keep your arms stretched, your core tense and your legs a little bent. Rich with your arms to your toes (you don’t necessarily have to touch it).
