Have you already been doing this without progress? Then the answer lies in your nutritional program. That will be tackled in another article. If you are in decent shape and have no physical limitations, give this good lower ab workout a try. Crunches (legs straight in air) 25 reps Crunches (legs in air, knees bent at 90 degrees) 25 reps Stationary Crunch with Bicycle Kicks 25 reps Crunches (knees bent, feet flat on floor) 25 reps If one lap through this circuit is not enough, then go through the entire routine one or two more times. Train your abs as often as 4-5 times each week but, just like any other muscle, not if they are still sore from the previous workout. Finally, remember that proper nutrition is probably more important than the actual good ab workout - we all have a six-pack already, we just can't see it yet! Consistent training and dedication to your diet will change all that. http://www.fitnessdiet.info/goodabworkout.php Work your abdominal muscles with a variety of exercises, reps and weight to ensure that you are doing everything necessary (from a training standpoint) to achieve a tight midsection.
