By Daniel Coates


Exercises for the stomach is normally the most neglected routine during an abs workout. Even though they are responsible for providing the most stability more often than not they are undervalued. Do you want to achieve the perfect definition for your mid-section? I would like to share some tips on the best exercises for the stomach.

Tip 1

Ensure that your abs is receiving consistent challenging exercises. Doing the same old mundane exercises will not only bore you but isn't effective in stretching and sculpting your abs.

Tip 2

Make more use of the exercise balls you have in your local gym. One great exercise is the abs pull ins. Get into a push up position with your shins resting firmly on the exercise ball. Once you have got your balance I want you to pull your knees in towards your chest and slowly extending them back out and repeat. This is a great target exercise for lower as well as the upper abs. Lesson here is to use more exercise ball routines.

Tip 3

Hanging knee and legs rises. This may seem a little difficult for beginners but for those who are able this type of exercise is superb for lower abs. This is definitely more challenging than normal abs crunches and you can guarantee to get the best exercise for lower abs. For example, you can do a hanging knee rise by using a wide grip bar or hanging elbow straps. When holding form ensure that you bring you knees up towards you chest only by routing your pelvis. Do not swing yourself for momentum.

Tip 4

Active intense movements such as jogging, running, and sprinting over a period of time will develop your mid section fast. Since running is considered one of the best exercises for the stomach, follow this up with some specific abs routines to help tone your stomach faster.

Tip 5

Stability ball planks or general floor plank holds. To get into a plank position you should support your chest and forearms on the ball and your toes on the floor. Ensure that your chest is off the floor or ball with your back straight and your eyes fixed ahead. Keep you stomach contracted and your eyes ahead.

Make sure that your chest is off the floor or ball with your back straight and your eyes fixed ahead. Now hold this pose for 30sec - 1 minute and repeat twice.
