Top 2 Best Exercise to Flatten Abs
In next 5 minutes you are going to learn about 2 of my best performing ab exercises, that’ll change the way you workout your abs. No more hundreds of sit ups and crunches. They do none of us any good.
As you’ll do these exercises, you’ll realize how powerful they are compared to a typical abs routine.
The biggest problem with typical sit-up or crunch is about activating the hip flexors. Because of this, you don’t activate your abs as much as you should be. So to avoid that, I prefer to use Janda Sit ups.
Janda Sit Up
They are named after Czechoslovakian exercise physiologist Vladimir Janda, MD(also an expert on back problems). He found out from experience that crunches do not isolate abs (and take out the hip flexors) as they are supposed to do. Janda Sit up solves this problem by removing the flexors by contracting the hamstrings and glutes.
In janda sit up, you start off as regular crunch and have someone hold your ankles and try to pull them towards at 45 degree… Your job is to keep them from being pulled off and while doing it do the sit up.
Now it seems easy but trust me, they are not. It’ll take Herculean task to just do 10 Janda sit ups. They are the baddest sit-ups known to man kind.
With them you don’t have to worry about stacking numbers… You work on their quality.
Knee raises/ Leg Raises.
Second exercise, I recommend belongs to Knee/leg raises variety. You can chose from hanging knee/leg raises or decline knee/leg raises. It depends completely on you. My belief is that doing them is like doing squats for legs or bench press for chest. That’s the kind of importance they should be given in your workout.
The challenge will be doing it while contracting your legs up with your abs muscles, and to not let the rest of your body swing. Many people cheat by swinging the body and not let the abs do their work. It’s hard, it’s tough, it’s killer on the abs. But they work.
To make this exercise more difficult, you can add some weight on your legs.
These are the 2 of the best exercises that you can add to your regular ab workouts.
Now as you were able to successfully finished this article, I decided to give you a bonus surprise. It’s what I call “Ab involvement”. In any exercise, if you can keep your core tight and involve your core in the exercises, then you are actively working out your abs even when you are not doing regular abdominal routines. Heck, add this to your cardio routines and you’ll start noticing the results on your mid section in 3-5 days, Guaranteed.
