Please help with ab workouts and six pack?
I’m a teen female and I am looking to get a six pack. I am involved in a crew team in which we run 1 mile everyday, do many ab/core workouts, run up and down stairs and of course, do the rowing machine. I was wondering if I should buy an ab lounge or just get the attachment for my perfect pullup bar where i can place my arms in the hanging strap things. It KILLS me to do situps and crunches on the floor (my back). So ab lounge or the straps for my perfect pullup bar? Thanks so much!
yeah I made an ab ball by filling a basketball with sand and duct taping the whole thing.
My lower back like right above my butt always curls up so I have an arch when I am doing some things with the ab ball. I hold the ball with my arms all the way extended behind my head and lift my legs up. The ball is like 15 pounds and I am 130. Is the ball too heavy? i dont know…
Keep your back on the floor when doing crunches,and aim your shoulder toward the sky,so its down,up towards the sky and then down again,a common misconception is the people to face their legs and go in the direction of their legs.WRONG.Aim for the sky,Keep lower back on floor at all times to reduce injury and also for a tip try or watch a clip of the ab ripper X its crazy hard and it gets my abs hurting for days.
ive got an ab lounge, but its not as great as i hoped it would be. as for the straps, i think those would be good, but that cant be the only thing you do. get an ab ball, those work good if you get on the web and look up exercises. plus do weighted ab workouts, that way you build up and make yous ab muscles stronger and bigger
maybe try doing planks. it’ll take time but they’re pretty effective for building up core strength. start out holding them for 30 seconds to a minute (or longer if you can) and do a few of them everyday. make sure you keep your butt down and try to keep your body pretty straight. these in addition to the crunches/cardio your doing with the team should help you get toned.
good luck with spring races:)
