These are five of my favorite ab exercises. I picked these out because
a. You can do it comfortably in your house.
b. All you need is your body and space .
c. No extra gadgets required.
If I could I would just put up the whole video of P90X Ab ripper because it is THE BEST. I am far away from ripped abdominals but I'm trying !
Favorite these videos on youtube and make a playlist outta them. Play it on your computer and get started with your ab exercises. The P90X guide suggests working your ab muscles no more than 3 times a week if you are doing a strenuous routine like Ab Ripper X and it is best done on days on which you do your strength training.
Important Note : I am not a trained fitness professional - merely a budding enthusiast. Do not take anything from my fitness / diet posts any more seriously than you would take something that comes up in a conversation with your friend. Talk to a trained professional / physician before starting out on any exercise / diet routine - Most gyms offer free body assessments.
Britney Abs - All The Basics
My best friend taught me these exercises when I was 17. I loved them then - love them even more now !
Mason Twists
Hands down my most favorite ab exercise. These can be done with free hands or you can add some free weights. I use 7.5 pounds, works for me. You will love this too, I'm sure !
Scissors
These hurt like madness but you will almost feel your lower abdominals getting stronger with your first try ! The sides get some work too ...
Heel To Heel
Love handles be gone !
Crunchie Frogs
Another favorite of mine - Wrap and open !
Try these and lemme know how you like em ! Another thing I love doing is working out with an exercise ball. In a couple of weeks I'll put up my favorite exercises to do with an exercise ball. Now go on and share your favorite ab moves. Its a community and its all about helping each other !

These are amazing! Thanks a ton! They are all killer exercises, but hey, no gain w/o pain, eh! ;)
ReplyDeleteA question: Do you use the P90X? Am tempted to order it. What's your take on it?
Thanks,

Hey!! I've been following you on twitter and you really seem to be into the whole workout thing. I would love for you to give a post on the details of what your workout/diet regime is, how it's been so far, your experiences - esp with P90X etc.

ReplyDeleteHi RGP & Anon !
ReplyDeleteI am now on P90 X program. I promise to write a little about how its working for me at the end of two more weeks. This s the first time I am doing the 90 day program. Before this I've done all their videos in no order on random days just when I felt like it so I am not new to the P90X videos.
I highly recommend it - an hour a day and by the end of the week you've worked all your major muscle groups with a combination of strength, cardio and abs !
