The Best Abdominal Exercises You've Never Tried!

I have probably heard every training question in the book, but the most popular one by far is, "What are the best abdominal exercises"? I always find that my response shocks people, both in what I suggest they do and in what I suggest they don't do. You see, the vast majority of traditional abdominal exercises are simply not a part of my roadmap to lean and sculpted six pack abs.

Commonly performed ab exercises such as: crunches, sit ups and leg raises do little to help you acquire that sought after six pack. In addition to being relatively ineffective, many of these movements can actually lead to poor posture and even back pain. We clearly need a better way! So Im going to show you an alternative approach that will develop your abs in a safer, quicker, and more effective manner. Oh, and it will also be fun and time efficient, too!

After years of trial and error, I have categorized the most effective movements as turbo ab exercises. These movements are unique because they burn a maximal amount of body fat while simultaneously carving up your midsection. Additionally, they work your abs without damaging your spine, making them safe, functional and effective.

There are many little-known movements that I prescribe. With this large database of movements, you will never be bored and your body will always be challenged. This will ensure you constant progress and keep you excited and motivated to train. In this article, I will teach you one of these movements so you can integrate it immediately and start getting great results today!

This exercise is particularly effective and can be done anywhere. All you need is a non-bouncing medicine ball. This turbo ab exercise is called the Med Ball Slam. Proper technique is critically important when performing this exercise, so I will break down the technique into simple steps.

1) Stand with a shoulder width stance. Lift a non-bouncing medicine ball directly over your head.

2) With a similar motion to that of chopping wood with an axe, slam the med ball down to the floor using as much force as possible. The ball should hit the floor only a couple of inches in front of your feet.

3) In one swift movement, quickly squat down and scoop the ball off the floor.

4) Immediately return to starting position and repeat for the prescribed number of reps.

There you have it! Work hard on this exercise and you WILL get awesome results!

  • "Start getting a 6 pack in no time"

    Everyone should know that diet is where you can get visible 6 pack abs, not just by doing ab exercises.

  • @Ultimatebrownstuff that goes without saying

  • Does a woman get a medicine ball with a certain weight to begin?

  • Most women do well with an 8-10 pound medicine ball to start.

  • "...it's going to rebound off the floor and take your teeth out, guaranteed. I've seen it happen."

    Got video?

  • can i do this with a basketball?

  • @mattyoung92 i bet that didnt happen ...

  • do you have to slam it off the floor or can you just lower it?

  • Instead of using a medicine ball, which I don't have, I use a dumbell that has a soft substance around it. Where do you get a medicine ball?

  • @Kokaka ohh ok cool , yes very true

  • @timetogetwicked

    It means "For the win". This is one of my favourite exercises for developing full body power which is the most important aspect in any sport, be it martial arts, football, hockey etc. The abs you get from it is just a bonus.

  • @Kokaka "ftw" what does that mean ?

  • @HamZZz1969 Who care's.. your not there to impress them your there for yourself .
