if you're interested in getting ripped abs, you do not have to go to the gym every day. There are cheap and easy workouts you can perform at home to shape your ab muscles. You do not even need complicated fitness equipments you usually find in gyms. You can get the six pack abs you've always dreamed of with a simple equipment or no equipment at all. With only 20 minutes of the right combination of exercises six times a week, you will see the result in 2-3 weeks. There are three exercises combined in this ab training:
1. The ball crunches
You can substitute this exercise with regular crunches. However, ball crunches are more effective and you will only have to spend about $20 to purchase the exercise ball. There are two reasons why ball crunches are more effective. Firstly, doing crunches on the exercise ball will not give you neck and back strain. Secondly, since your legs are not involved in the exercise, it will be more focused on shaping your abs. This exercise also requires you to maintain your balance as well. Lay your back on the ball with your feet firm on the floor, slowly pull your upper body up until you reach maximum height and return to your original position. Perform this 20-30 times, take a break for 2-3 minutes, and then continue to the second exercise.
2. The bicycle crunches
To perform this, lie on your back on the floor (it would be better if you have an exercise mat), put your hands behind your head, and raise your legs up until your knees make a 90 degree angle. Bring your left elbow to your right knee while extending your left leg. Then bring your right elbow to your left knee while extending your right leg. While doing this exercise, you should focus on contracting your abdominal muscles. Repeat 20-30 times. Take another 2-3 minutes break and be ready for the last abs training.
3. The oblique workout
This exercise is good for shaping the outer abs. For this workout, you will also need an exercise ball. Lay your back on the ball, and get into the crunch position. Slowly bring your right elbow as close as you can to your left hip. Then bring your left elbow to your right hip. As with the bicycle crunches, you will also need to focus on contracting your abs. Repeat the exercise 20-30 times, and you're done!
