Im a teen and when in doing different ab exercises i only feel it in my upper abs? I don’t know if its just because I’m not doing the right form or because my abs are so weak they are developing the upper first than the lower. Any reasons?

Many people are looking for abs exercises for six pack abs. If you want to know how to get abs, that is, great abs, then there is one thing that you need in order for you to reach your goal: Motivation.

There are different reasons why people want tight abs. For some it may be for health reasons, for others it may be for looks. What is your reason? Understanding why you want better abs can keep you motivated and this will help you reach your goal.

If you are toning your abs for health reasons then there are many benefits that you will enjoy. You stomach is the support for you back muscles. A trim stomach means a better posture and as a result a well supported back. Those who have pot bellies usually have lower back problems. This is a great reason to keep that stomach flat.

If your quest for perfect abs is so that you will have a great body to show off then besides a great looking body you will also enjoy a better self-esteem. When you feel good about your looks you feel good about who you are. This is also a good reason for doing abs exercises.

But is it really that important for you to spend a lot of time caring and worrying about your abs? Consider this quote by a man named Samuel Johnson, a British Author, who said, He who does not mind his belly, will hardly mind anything else.

Do you want people to think that you do not care about yourself? This does not go over well at an interview. Studies have shown that better-looking people get hired more often than less attractive and overweight people.

Here are some more reasons why you need strong, healthy abs:

– You have a lower chance of injuring yourself during physical activities such as sports or even chores around the house. When your abs are tight and strong they give support to the whole body.

– When lifting things that are a little too heavy, strong abs will protect your back and can prevent a strain that could otherwise render you immobile.

– And possibly one of the best health reasons for doing exercises for your abs is that doing so will reduce the risk of diseases such as diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and can even help prevent heart disease. This is because if you have six pack abs then you have less body fat.

There are so many important reasons why you need to take care of your abs and I want to motivate you to take action and start feeling better about yourself. It is easier than you think to get going on some system and to meet your goal.

It is especially easy if you have a goal in mind, that is, you know why you are doing your abs exercises. Are you toning your abs for health or are you trying to get six pack abs for looks? Either is fine. Just picture yourself with the great abs you want and imagine what people will say when they see the new you! Go for it!

An old friend once mentioned an “ab throwdown” and it made a really fast effect (that I noticed, not just her saying it did). Does anyone know of any great ab moves?

I perform ab exercises twice a week for 45 mins. and was wondering can that damage your groin area.

If I were to stop for a 2 weeks - will I lose my definition?

You don’t need a lot of fancy ab exercises to lose stomach fat. The fact of the matter is, ab exercises don’t even flatten your stomach. They work just like any other exercise does for any other muscle to:

Create additional stress on the muscle and to break down the tissue to heal bigger, stronger, and more dense.

Period.

So, the notion that ab training creates a flat tummy is a myth at best, handed down year after year after year. The key to getting a stomach begins in the kitchen. With the right foods and the right training program, your tummy will be flat as a pancake in record time.

Once you get your food choices in order, the next step is to begin with regular old training exercises. The fundamentals, nothing fancy, nothing complicate, just the basics.

Next you begin adding ab exercises to your program.

The best ab exercises in my arsenal are actually not even exercises you’d consider to be abs exercises at all.

Here are my favorites:

1) Heavy Dumbbell Squat - Hold the DB’s at your shoulder and perform a squat. Nothing fancy, but the additional weight and added instability will force your abs to work double time.

2) Bent Over Dumbell Rows - Sure this works your biceps and your back, but it’s a killer lower back and ab exercise

3) Mountain Climber Rotation - This is a regular mountain climber with a twist at the end, and it’s a killer ab exercise.

To go advanced, the absolute best ab exercise out there is the weighted cable crunch.

Ab exercises train your stomach muscles, but they don’t make them flat. It’s that simple. To burn body fat and flatten your abs, focus on nutrition, a traditional full body training program, and interval training before you even consider adding any ab exercise.
