3 ab exercises to get a set of 6 pack abs

Achieving a set of truly ripped 6-packs requires consistency in your diet, cardio training, and of course a balanced strength training program. Most people seem to be completely at a loss when it comes to choosing the right exercises for a developed midsection. These exercises take the guesswork out of it. They are the best exercises for getting an awesome core.

Cable Crunches – This exercise is great for hitting the upper and lower abs at the same time. This saves a lot of time. To perform this exercise, attach a rope to the top pullie. Get on your knees and grab the rope in each hand, bend and arch your upper body forward and press your abdominal muscles all the way down. At the end of the movement, hold for 5 to 10 seconds.

Seated Leg Curl – This is another really good exercise for the upper and lower abs. Sit crosswise on a bench and hold it firmly with each hand. Next, lift your legs and bend your knees toward your chest while keeping your body at a 40 degree angle. Do this in a scissor-like motion for reps. This exercise gives you defined muscles..

Stability Ball Roll Ins – This from practice will severely shape and develop those hitting the lower abdominal muscles. Start by lying face down on a stability ball and walking your hands over the top of the ball while keeping your body straight. This movement ends when the only thing left on the ball are the toes.

Do the reps nice and slow so you can really feel the muscles working. Use these 3 exercises in your abs workout and you'll have effectively worked your entire core.
