Abs

[samurai69]

I dont normally do ab specific work

as the normal lifting i do works the core/abs quite well, also the martailarts stuff works them

but as a warm up to summer i would like to do some ab specific work

I know a fair amount of ab exercises, but would like some ideas and variations ... that others do, or have seen being done, or have been long forgotten

I have

straight leg sit ups
crunches
incline curls
hanging leg raises

as the normal ones

Thats a start , what are chinnies and mad ball slams, i may know them by different names

Chinnies.....Lie on your back with knees bent and head held up off floor, the try to touch your ankle with your hand whilst keeping your back o the ground, then switch to other side....

So its left ankle right ankle...moving really quick sort of like a sideways shuffle...

Medicine ball slams....Hold ball above head and slam it(throw) into the floor in front of you...do as fast as posible....really drive it ito the ground..

I havent done these, we used to do a couple of ab exercises 1 with a med balland rebounder and one where your pertner chucks a med ball at your abs whilst you lie on the floor and you half catch it un push it back up to them

GOOD START keepem commin

The med ball slams really work the core as your slaming the ball into the ground you can feel the force your generating running through the core plus your having to tense them to stop yourself from following through with the ball, just watch out for the ball bouncing back up and smacking you one in the face, what with the finished position being with you bent at the waist at 90%, not a lot of distance between you and the rebounding ball

How about doing some grasshoppers...........

LOL......

No I just use the names I read and people tell me.....

Try some V ups awell there good or even better some...nah I`ll save that beauty for later

GRASSHOPPERS(idiots guide for )

Star with hands and feet touching the floor(as if doing a press up but body naot as low or straight) and bring the left leg up and under your body to touch the outside of your right hand as soon as it touches return to start and repeat with right leg....keep going at a fast pace and feel that core burn baby burn ....keep ahnd stationary at all times....
