Ab Muscle Routines to get ripped! |
Amazing, washboard, ripped and sexy abs are the key to a sexy body. If you're under the impression that training is all about Biceps and chest strength, then you're working. Rock-hard abdominal muscles are where it's at these days.
This is as, in a recent survey of 500 women; all were asked "What is the sexiest part of the male body?" 78% of them said the abs. I'm sure you could agree, without massively, ripped and taught abs your body is essentially not as attractive as it possibly could be.
So, how do you get ripped abs?
Well, it has everything to do with your abs routines and workouts and diet. However, I'm going to tell you about how to achieve massive abdominal muscle mass through exercise and leave the diet talk for a later time. Just one quick tip, it is recommended that you avoid all 'fast food' and eat a balanced diet, consisting mainly of fresh fruit and vegetables.
Returning to the original statement, the best way to achieve perfect abs is with the perfect exercise routine / workout. Personally, I recommend you do something similar to these basic principles:
When you first begin your six pack quest, you should start with:
30 x Crunches (avoid sit-ups, they cause stress to the back)
30 x Hip rolls ( all you do is lie on the ground and push down with your hands, whilst raising your pelvis off the ground, so your butt comes right up - while you're doing this you should be squeezing your abdominal muscles)
50 seconds Bridge (A bridge is essentially just that, you make your body into a bridge whereby you place your feet flat on the ground and hands out as far in front as possible, you then try and place your butt in the air as high as possible. You hold this position for approximately 50 seconds - Bridges are sometimes referred to as "planks")
After a while your abs will become a lot stronger, therefore you can do these routines longer, you should try and increase your six pack workout routines in increments of 5. Meaning you do 35 x Crunches, 35 hip rolls and 55 seconds bridge.
To conclude; these routines have worked for myself and countless others, just a bit of advice; you should also start running and other cardio work. This will essentially help to trim the layer of fat over the abdominal muscles and they'll take a on a much more predominate focus.
