Abdominal exercises can be a pain in the butt when you first begin training. However, after a couple weeks of intense training, it gets much easier and fun. I actually remember when I used to be flabby. I remember how hard it was and how much I wanted to quit training. I gave it a couple of months, stuck with it and it all paid off.
Here’s what I believe to be are some of the best ab exercises:
- 30-degree partial sit-ups: Do 3 sets of 15 repetitions (do not rest)
- Hanging leg raises: Do 3 sets of 15 repetitions (do not rest)
- Medicine ball crunches: Do 3 sets of 15 repetitions (do not rest)
- Medicine ball reverse crunches: Do 3 sets of 15 repetitions (1 minute rest)
When doing the exercises above, it’s important to vary the days you do them. I recommend doing the exercises above on Mondays and Thursdays.
Here’s your Tuesday and Friday workout: (You have the day off Wednesday 
)
- Medicine ball side bends: Do 3 sets of 15 reps (do not rest)
- Russian twists: Do 3 sets of 15 reps (Do not rest)
- Twisting crunches on swiss ball: Do 3 sets of 15 reps (do not rest)
- One-arm high pulley crunches: Do 3 sets of 15 reps (1 minute rest)
It may seem like a lot, but this really really works. It’s not that bad. You’ll get used to it and it really gets results! Many people don’t know when to do ab exercises. I recommend doing ab exercises in the morning right before you do any cardio. It’s even best if you do it on an empty stomach. This makes it much easier since you don’t have a full stomach blocking your range of motion.
Also make sure when following any ab routine that you incorporate a well balanced diet. Cut out some fatty foods and monitor your saturated fat intake. I try to keep all fat intake between 30-50 grams a day max. The quicker you cut the fat, the faster you will start to see results.
