Everyone has seen the commercials on television promoting ab machines, the abs blaster, and many people have bought them? because I see them at garage sales every year. I know that they work, but consistency is very important and most people don?t follow through. Also, if you are not doing cardio exercises than you will never have six pack abs. If your stomach also has a lot of fat on top, or a six pack with a cooler full of ice, no one will ever be able to see your abs.
If you put these two ingredients together: Cardio exercise (fat burning exercises), and the consistency of ab exercises you will achieve great health and wellness, as well as being able to admire your six pack abs. I want to teach you a great ab exercise that you can do sitting on a chair, and the great part is that you do not need to buy any special equipment, and can be done easily while traveling.
This exercise can be done while sitting on a chair or on the floor. I prefer sitting on a chair. Sit on the chair with your legs out straight in front of you. Lean back slightly and support your body using your abdominal strength to lift your legs. Place your hands behind you on the chair, palms down.
Bend both your legs simultaneously and bring your knees as close to your chest as possible. Then return to the starting position by slowly straightening out your legs. Keeping the tension on the abdominal muscles, do not let your feet touch the floor during the exercise. Repeat, doing 3 stets of 15 repetitions
This is a great exercise to help build your core muscles, while also working the frontal abdominals, especially the lower half of the ab muscles. So remember to do this exercise three to four times a week for those fabulous abs that grab everyone?s attention.
