The sexiest muscles alive!

The abdominals are the most visible muscle than anyone can see in a true athlete.  Most athletes, celebrities are not measured by how great their arms look but how sexy their abs are. 

Do you know that it is actually harder for a female to have visual six pack abs than men? 

Advanced Ab Routine

 
Hanging Crunches - This exercise will train your lower abdominals. Now jump up and grab ahold of a bar, playground equipment works great.  Allow your body to hang with your knees up to your trunk.  Now pull your knees all the way up to your chest, lower and repeat.  Pay attention next time you are in the gym to see if you notice anyone doing this exercise.  Are they raising their knees all the way up their chest?  If not then they are working their hip flexors and not their abs.

 
Hanging Twisting Crunches - This exercise will train your lower abdominals and your obliques. Jump up and grab ahold of a bar.  Keep your knees bent and raise your feet up sideways as if you are trying to kick a ball with the back side of your foot.  Lower and pause, now raise your feet up to your opposite side.  Lower and repeat.  Make sure you pause each time to prevent swinging.

Decline Reverse Crunches - This exercise will train your lower abdominals to the max. To begin lye flat down on a declined bench. Now keep your knees raised up and pull your knees all the way in to your elbows, pause and squeeze your abs as tight as you can. Slowly lower, control your speed, and repeat until exhaustion.  This is much harder than basic reverse crunches.

Seated Leg Crunches - This is a very hard exercise to train the upper and lower abs.  Sit on a bench sideways and grasp the bench with your hands, fingers forward.  Now pull your legs and upper body in at one time, then extend your legs and lower your upper body.  Repeat until exhaustion

 
Seated Oblique Crunches - This is a very hard exercise to train the upper, lower abs, and obliques. This is a great variation to seated leg crunches. Sit on a bench sideways and grasp the bench with your hands, fingers forward. Now pull your legs in sideways and upper body in at one time, then extend your legs and lower your upper body. Repeat until exhaustion, and then switch sides.

 
Seated or Standing Twists - Once your abs are starting to show then this becomes a great exercise to tighten your obliques. Sit down or stand with a broom stick or light bar across your shoulders. Place your arms as wide as you can and keep your eyes straight. Twist your bar all the way to the left while turning your upperbody and shoulders and then to the right. Caution: keep your eyes straight for the duration of the exercise.
