Ok, so recently I have been having a lot of people ask me what kind of ab workout I do so i figured this would be the best way to get it out there to everyone.   

 My ab workout is a mini circuit that consists of a 4 exercises 

I only work my abs out 3x a week… your abs are just like any other muscle…they need rest too!!!! 

1. Decline crunch -20-30 reps 

2. Oblique crunches or cable/DB side bends (12-15 reps) 

3. Cable crunch (10-12 reps) 

4. Lying leg raises or reverse crunch (12-15 reps) 

-I do each of these workouts one after the other with no rest. After I complete all 4 of the exercises I take about a 60-90 second rest then start it over again… I normally do the circuit 2 or 3 times.   

The reps for all of these workouts are low because I make sure to go slow and focus on isolating my abs or obliques. I feel 20 crunches done the right way are more effective than 50 crunches done wrong. 

I know this workout doesn’t sound like anything special but I have found some success with it. It gives me a great burn and has really helped my abs develop over the last 2-3 months. 

The most important part to any ab workout and getting results out of any ab workout is DIET!!!! If you are not eating clean your abs are going to stay hidden behind layers of fat. You must eat healthy and do cardio in order to make any strides towards a six pack. 

ask anyone on this site that has great abs and there is no doubt they will tell you that diet is the most important factor in obtaining or maintaining great abs!!!! 

If anyone has any questions about my workout, diet, etc… Do not hesitate to ask. I have learned so much from this site and from everyone on bodyspace… I can only hope to help others out the way I have been helped!
