6 Exercises For A Great Looking Six Pack

This is the post for you if you want to take pride in yourself when you take off your shirt. To ensure that you hammer those abs as hard as possible on the next ab day, you might want to try some of these very powerful workouts. As we all know, you need to shred fat, not put on as much as possible, so make sure to cut your carbs too. Set aside the fork and the chocolate chip marble cake, and let's get started.

AB WHEEL ROLLOUTS

We recommend doing this workout to ensure that your core strength is sufficient, but be advised that even the smallest feeling, such as sneezing or tickling, may cause excruciating pain in your abs the next day! Your core muscles will get extremely strong as a result, so the effort will be worthwhile. Who want supple abs, really?

There are many ways to conduct this exercise, but the standard method involves using an ab wheel. But since not everyone has ab wheels or a gym carries them, you can also use other options like barbells, circular dumbbells, or suspension trainers similar to the TRX.

Assuming you indeed possess an ab wheel, grasp it by the handles and roll as far forward as you can while on your knees on a workout mat! It will be worth it even if your abs will suffer right away! Just keep your back straight while performing 10 repetitions for each of two sets. Try performing these exercises while standing, performing the roll, and then getting back to your standing position if you tried them and felt nothing at all. Your abs will get closer to being flawless and it will undoubtedly start to ache!

CABLE AB ROTATION

You may be familiar with this workout because it goes by another, more unique name: the "Wood chopper." It got its name because it resembles the action a lumberjack makes when he uses an axe to cut down a tree quite a bit. Combine this exercise with other front-abs workouts because it will mostly help your side abs.

Approach a cable pulley and adjust it to waist height to begin this activity. Turn your back to the machine and grasp the grip with both hands. As an alternative, you can perform this exercise with your face turned sideways. Next, spin your torso while maintaining the tightest possible lock on your arms. When your torso and legs are fully aligned, stop. Once you're back where you started, rotate your torso once more. Complete two sets of 13 repetitions each for this workout.

ROPE CRUNCH

You can continue working your abs with the pulley after completing the cable ab rotations. Tie a rope around it and pull the pulley up to your head. Once you're on your knees, take the rope and drag it down to knee level. As if you were going to hang yourself, place the rope over your neck's sides.

Then, move your elbows strongly towards your thighs, like you were about to pray. If you want to boost the effect of this exercise even more, push out your elbows a bit and do the full range of motion available, touching your head to the mat. This exercise should be performed for a high number of reps, anywhere from 15 to 20 of them, for three sets.

RUSSIAN TWIST

You don't need any gym equipment or machines for this one. This exercise will work just as well as the others and uses only your bodyweight. It appears to be quite simple to accomplish, but when you start trying, you'll find that it's far more difficult than you initially imagined. Take a seat on the floor or the exercise mat and gently raise your legs off the floor. After then, clasp your hands together and interlace your fingers to prevent them from coming apart.

Subsequently, begin to rotate your complete upper body to the left, with your feet moving to the right somewhat. Next, turn your entire body to the right while softly shifting your feet to the left. And just like that, you completed one rep! To complete a single set, you will need at least 30 and no more than 40 repetitions because this is an exercise with a high rep count.

This exercise should essentially be done last, after all of your previous workouts and just before you go home. Continue doing it until you approach muscular failure and are no longer able to move. If you find this workout to be far too simple, pick up any kind of weight and perform the same movements with it. You can use a heavy plate, dumbbell, or kettlebell just well.

TOE-TOUCH CRUNCHES

This workout will develop your core muscles and work every muscle group in your abdomen. Stretch your hands and toes in opposite directions while lying flat on the ground to complete this exercise. Next, elevate your legs and arms in unison until your fingertip tips meet your toe tips. Drop both your arms and your legs to their starting positions using the same control that this movement requires—it cannot be done quickly or irrationally.

Don't lower your legs to the floor in between repetitions if you want to take this exercise to the maximum. Maintaining your legs elevated maintains the activation of your abdominal muscles, which will result in more effect and pain, meaning increased work. Try it with a medicine ball if this is still insufficient.

Make an effort to move the medicine ball between your hands and feet. Should that prove insufficient, seize a kettlebell or a substantial weight and perform the same motions without shifting to your feet.

FLUTTER KICKS

This might be the exercise that is most difficult to do correctly. Simply rest on your back, lift your knees a little, lift your upper back off the floor, and place your hands behind your head to do that. Right now, your upper buttocks should be the only part of your body that touches the ground. Start by making fluttering movements with your legs in different directions to complete this workout. They should be kept at a medium height; do not, however, touch the ground or lift them excessively.

This is the gym equivalent of the game "the floor is lava," and it is just as taxing. After just a short while, you will be in excruciating pain and your core muscles will be aching like never before. Flutter kicks are worthwhile, though, because they will eventually make your abs resemble Brad Pitt's from Fight Club.

Similar to the Russian twist, this exercise is a finisher, meaning you should perform it for as many repetitions as you can manage in a single set, all the way to muscle failure.

Work out 30 or 40 of them, but keep in mind that a rep is a movement that begins and ends in the same place, so don't cut the rep count in half! After the repercussions set in, you'll wish you had taken the action sooner even though it may be exhausting in the end.
