Absolute Body Workouts That Can Also Be Very Good Ab Exercises
Rather than the typical ab exercise routines that we see typically with crunches, situps, leg lifts, etc, you can find better choices for metabolism-boosting high intensity exercises that work the whole body while also working the abs.
I'll show you an example at present of one of my favorite ab workouts that doesn't include any direct ab workouts at all. It's in a tri-set format (just like a super-set but alternating among 3 workout routines).
Here goes:
1a. Renegade Dumbbell Rows
1b. Front Squats with Barbell
1c. Mountain Climbers on Floor
A good rep system to use with this might be 3-4 sets of eight reps for every exercise, or more sets for fewer reps, such as 5 sets of 5 reps of each exercise. Mountain climbers could be completed for a time interval (such as 30 seconds) rather than "reps".
Renegade dumbbell rows are carried out beginning with a pushup position with the hands on a couple of dumbbells. You then row one dumbbell up while stabilizing your body with the opposite arm. Bring the dumbbell back to the ground and swap the rowing arm while stabilizing with the other arm. This stabilizing impact through the rows results in incredible work for your complete midsection core area. Trust me, you'll feel it in the abs!
Front squats are done just like back squats, although with the barbell in front of your own body on the front of your shoulders rather than resting on the upper back just like in back squats. You stabilize the barbell on your shoulders by crossing your arms and pushing your fists into the bar against your own shoulders while keeping your elbows out in front of the body. This takes a bit of practice at first, thus it would be best to look for an expert instructor at your gym that will help you with the form. Front squats require intense stabilization strength from the abs because of the barbell weight being shifted to the front of the body rather than the back. Although this is principally a leg routine, you'll feel this one in the abs big time!
Mountain climbers are carried out by starting in a pushup pose and then shuffling your feet in and out so as your knees are moving in underneath your chest and then back out to the preliminary position. It sort of resembles going up a mountain but flat on the floor. If you want an intermediate version, you could also shuffle your hands 8-10 inches forward and backward along with the leg movements. This actually makes it a total body workout and MUCH tougher than normal mountain climbers.
After finishing each exercise, take a break for roughly 30 seconds before beginning the next workout. Take a break for about 1-2 minutes after completing each "tri-set" before repeating.
This will provide you with one of the best ab workouts you've ever had without even working on any direct ab routines. You'll see what I mean when you try it!
