Abdominal Exercises

How much abdominal exercises should be made daily?

Question by José O.: How much abdominal exercises should be made daily?
Today I did 500 hundred abdominal exercises divided into:
300 sit ups
200 leg raises

My doubt is if 500 abdominal exercises daily are enough for that area. I don’t feel any sore since I’ve been doing these exercises for 7 months or so (during a weight loss process). I can go for more than that ,but I also run 1 hour daily ,do a little weight lifting only for biceps, and push ups. Even if I don’t feel any sore I feel somewhat tired. Should I keep doing that or should I go for around 1000 (which I’ve done before) and most important: Are 500 enough?

Best answer:

Answer by miss out spoken
I was told that when you feel soeness that it is working so you may not be doing them right. The amount that you can do is and should be up to you and what makes you feel good about wha tyour doing for your self. How can I tell you that 500 is not enough. If I did and told you that you need to do 1000 whould you be foolish enough do do it and not knowing who I am or what I look like to take my advise. GET REAL and seek professional adise for this. but most of all do what feels best for you. Are you inquiring or bragging?

Will abdominal exercises reduce the efficiency of belly breathing?

Question by Otha B: Will abdominal exercises reduce the efficiency of belly breathing?
I run for exercise 3 mornings a week and I also do abdominal exercises after running. I have recently realised the benefits of ‘belly breathing,’ both when running and generally, but I’m wondering if strengthening my abdominal muscles too much may reduce its efficiency.

Thanks

Best answer:

Answer by lestermount
Strengthening muscles improves their performance and efficiency it does not reduce it.

If you are belly breathing your abdominal muscles will not fatigue if they are in shape.

The stronger a muscle is the less it has to work, meaning that a muscle is made up of many cells, the body tells the muscle how many cells to use for a particular task. The harder the task the more cells that are recruited to perform.

You would be using less cells to breath so most of the cells are not working and are resting, they can take over if the other cells tire.

What besides crunches are some good abs exercises?

Question by No_longer_a_corporate_mom: What besides crunches are some good abs exercises?
I know you can’t spot train, but I work out everyday and the only abs machine my gym has is the equivalent of a crunch. I want to work out my abs more, but what is there besides a crunch. Especially for my obliques, which the crunch machine at the gym can’t get.

Best answer:

Answer by jesus
an excellent exercise, you can do it in front of your TV: sit on a stool, and put your toes under something (piece of heavy furniture, for example). In your hands hold a little dumbbell. Please, make sure that it is not very heavy, start with one kilo, for example, or you will damage your back and spine! Slowly move the upper part of your body back, until it’s parallel with the ground. Stop for a second and move it back to the sitting position. Repeat ten times. Every week add to the number of repetitions. You will see the results in a week, guaranteed! You will see or feel under the fat – if you have any – six pack and muscles. Dumbbells do wonders. Much better than these crunches – I came up to three hundreds and there was no results AT ALL. With the dumbbells you will see it in a week.

How To Get Ripped Abs And Strengthen Your Core: 3 Easy-To-Do Ab Exercises

How To Get Ripped Abs And Strengthen Your Core: 3 Easy-To-Do Ab Exercises

If you’re looking to get that six pack you’ve always wanted, there are many different ab exercises that you can do to strengthen your core and build those muscles. I am going to go over 3 different exercises that you can do to today that will give you a well rounded work out.

Ab Exercise #1 – Do Crunches

Crunches are a very short movement exercise that will isolate your upper abs. To do them, lie on the floor with your feet close to you and cross your arms over your chest. Now pull your upper chest to your knees using your ab muscles. Only lift up far enough so you feel it in your abs and your upper back is off the floor. Don’t lift your lower back off the floor. Also Do not use momentum or try to pull on your head to do the crunch.

Ab Exercise #2 – Do Sit Ups

Sit ups are a full range version of the crunch and will focus on all the muscles in your front abs. Get in the same position you would for crunches, with back on the floor and feet on the ground. Then lift your entire body up to your knees, pulling with your ab muscles. This ab exercise will eventually get easy enough for you to start adding weight. You can hold a weight on your chest or use a medicine ball to make the exercise more difficult. You can check out these ab workouts on <a rel=”nofollow” onclick=”javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/outgoing/article_exit_link']);” href=”http://www.wikihow.com/Get-Six-Pack-Abs”>this page</a> for more info and some videos.

Ab Exercise #3 – Do Heel Raises

Heel raises will isolate your lower ab muscles, which are the hardest muscles to get to show. It is important to strengthen all areas of your abdominals and not just focus on 1 or 2. To do this ab exercise, lie on the floor and lift your legs up, without bending them, until they are at a 90 degree angle to your body. Keep your hands at your sides. Now push your heels straight up and focus on moving them with your lower ab muscles. This is a short range of motion exercise, your heels will only raise about 4-5 inches.

These 3 exercises will get you on the road to that six pack you’re looking to sculpt. There are many more and different variations that you can do to work your abs even harder. Note that we have only worked the front of your abs so far, and not your obliques (the sides). To learn the best and fastest route to a sculpted midsection, check out my 7-day Six Pack Abs crash course.

Ideas for abdominal exercises for obese people?

Question by coverotherollingstone: Ideas for abdominal exercises for obese people?
Hey fitness people! Does anyone have some examples of abdominal exercises appropriate for people who are obese? Many of the ab exercises I see are a challenge because of the paunch I already have.

I often lay on the floor and lift my feet, but the sit ups are hard as my fat gut gets in the way.

I’d love your ideas!

Best answer:

Answer by Liney
I dont want to be discouraging, but for an obese person the best thing to do would be cardio. It is important to get rid of the excess weight before you start to do abdominal excercises, which will help build muscle there. SO I would try focusing on gradually building up to an intense cardio workout. Don’t try and go overboard the first time, because it will lave you sore and not wanting to ever come back to the gym! You can do this!! Good Luck!

Is abdominal exercises is not enough to get our muscles stronger ?

Question by masrawy10: Is abdominal exercises is not enough to get our muscles stronger ?
Hello !
My trainers in the gym they told me that it is impossible to strengthen the abdominal muscles as the ideal , Which is a 6 muscles in the abdomen unless he did the break-fat , I do abdominal exercises often to get the ideal format for abdominal muscles but is the trainers talk is right ? that abdominal exercises is not enough to get what i want ?

Best answer:

Answer by upset
Well abdominal exercises do not burn fat, they just tighten the muscles to make it look like you have a “six pack’ or an “eight pack.” You need to burn off the excess fat or weight above those muscles. Run outside, treadmill, or a stationary bike. Do that for a while and you will start seeing results.

8 Min Abs Workout, how to have six pack ( HD Version )

www.passion4profession.net PRESENTS 8 Min Abs Workout, how to have six pack: this workout has been designed to specifically work on the abdominal area. It can be done by anyone who exercises regularly, both men and women. There are no particular requirements for this module; you just need to know how to do the various exercises properly. 3 Good reasons for doing this module: 1 – Working aerobically on your abdominal muscles for over 7 minutes stimulates the capillaries in this area. These in turn increase the blood flow. 2 – A greater blood flow means a greater flow of oxygen – and fat only burns in the presence of oxygen. 3 – Toned muscles need more calories (kcal) to stay active. Our organism tends to release these calories from the area nearest the muscle, in this case the waist area.

The BEST LOWER ABS Exercise

TheBestWayToExercise.com http TheBestWayToExercise.Blogspot.com “Hanging Hip Lifts” is one of the most challenging exercises for preferential activation of the “lower” abdominal muscles. The secret in performing this movement correctly is the rotation of the hips and a distinct pause at the top of each repetition. Your abs contract on a continuum of graduated activation, in this case, from lower to upper. You cant totally isolate a specific region, but you can focus on it… and this exercise is phenomenal if you want to contract your abs from the bottom up. The key is to make these as slow and as deliberate as possible.

While there are many exercises for abs out there, found in places from fitness magazines to the Internet, there only exists an upper-echelon of exercises for abs that are truly the most effective towards your rectus abdominis, otherwise known as the six pack. The best exercises for abs are fairly simply to do and require no gym membership, only dedication and time. So, without further ado, I would like to present to you two of the best exercises for abs out there today.

Click for Lose Your Belly Fat and Get Six Pack Abs

The first of these exercises for abs is called the abdominal hold. To do this ab exercise correctly, please:  

1) Sit tall on the edge of a sturdy chair, placing your hands on the edge with your fingers pointing towards your knees.

2) Tighten your abs and bring your toes 2 to 4 inches off of the ground, lifting your butt off of the chair.

3) Hold this position for five to ten seconds.

4) Lower yourself down and repeat the exercise for one whole minute.  

Click for Lose Your Belly Fat and Get Six Pack Abs

Pretty easy, wasn’t it? Now, here is another one of the best exercises for abs. This one is called the `Side Crunch’. To do this other excercise for your abs properly, please:  

1) Kneel on the floor and lean all the way over to your right side, placing your right palm on the floor.

2) While keeping your weight balanced, slowly extend your left leg while pointing your toes.

3) Place your left hand behind your head, pointing your elbow towards the ceiling.

4) Next, slowly lift your leg to hip height as you extend your arm above your leg, with your palm facing forward.

5) Look out over your hand while bringing the left side of your rib cage towards your hip.

6) Lower yourself back down to starting position and repeat 6-8 more times. Do two more sets and then switch sides.

So there you have it, two very good exercises for abs that target your rectus abdominis better than most other exercises for abs out there. Of course, other exercises are out there, too, such as the reverse crunch or the bicycle exercise, but these two are surely good enough to get you started. Along with a balanced diet and good determination, these two exercises for abs will surely start you on your journey towards great abs.

Twitter is the hottest social media site around these days. There are hundreds of thousands of people who log on to the network everyday to share knowledge and learn from others. It’s true that you only get 140 characters to express your thoughts, but you’d be surprised how many folks spend hours each and everyday networking, learning, and teaching from others. Spending a lot of time in front of a computer tweeting can be a bit unhealthy.

Lose Weight & Get Fit by Mastering Your Emotions

Recent research has found that your emotions play an integral part in the success or failure of your weight loss plan. As an Occupational Therapy Practitioner, this is something I’ve known for years from being exposed to patients from all walks of life.

Best Abdominal Exercises to Do with Your Exercise Ball

(ArticlesBase SC #3813141)

Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ – Best Abdominal Exercises to Do with Your Exercise Ball





Exercise balls are great for doing your abdominal exercises.  Not only does the activity become more fun, but you actually work harder while using the exercise ball.  When you do abdominal exercises with the ball, your body is working to stabilize itself and you get a greater range of motion for the best ab workout routine possible.  The benefit of this is that your core stays engaged while you do your abdominal exercises.  Not to mention, exercise balls are affordable and make abdominal exercises fun.

When choosing an exercise ball, you want to find your best fit.  The ball for you will come up to about your knees and you should be able to sit comfortably on it with your feet planted on the ground.  This is very important.  You may hurt yourself or not get the best workout if you are using the wrong ball.  You may also consider investing in a yoga or exercise mat.  This will make your abdominal exercises more comfortable for you.  Also, this is the best thing you can do for your back while doing your ab workout routine. 

So now that you are on the ball, what are the best abdominal exercises you can do?

Crunch with Your Exercise Ball

The crunch may be one of the simplest abdominal exercises you can do, but adding the exercise ball makes it more effective.  To do this crunch:

• Simply lie on the ball with the ball positioned against the small of your back. 
• Cross your arms over your chest.  By doing this instead of placing them behind your head forces your core to do the work instead of your neck and hands. 
• Keep your feet firmly planted on the ground. 
• Keep yourself stable and slowly sit up then lower yourself back into the starting position. 
• Exhale while rising and inhale while lowering your body. 
• Repeat this movement 10-15 times for 2-3 reps.

Exercise Ball Exchange

This is one of the slower abdominal exercises and it is important that you take your time with this one: 

• Lie on your back with your hands extended over your head
• Use an exercise or yoga mat for comfort, with the exercise ball placed between your ankles. 
• Slowly lift the exercise ball up above your torso and bring your arms to retrieve it lifting your shoulders off the ground. 
• Now slowly lie back down. 
• Now you should have the ball in your hands.  Bring the ball back to your feet. 
• Exhale while moving up and inhale while releasing down. 
• During this exercise it is important to keep your arms and legs extended, make the exchange above your torso, and do this in a controlled movement. 
• Pass the ball 10-15 times for 2-3 reps for your ab workout routine.

The Ab Roll

Here’s one more that will really engage your entire abdominal section from lower abs, to obliques, all the way to your upper abs:

• Kneel on the floor
• Use your exercise mat if you have one, and place your hands on the exercise ball in front of you. 
• Bring your naval in toward your spine and slowly roll your arm forward onto the ball. 
• Keep your body stable and roll the ball out as far as you can without hurting your back. 
• Once extended roll your body back into the starting position. 
• Repeat 10-15 times. 
• For this move it is important not to strain your back. 

Using the exercise ball during your ab workout routine will make the movements more comfortable, give you a greater range of motion, engage your core, and help you get six pack abs.  Remember to use it properly, so you don’t strain your back.  If you feel anything wrong, stop and consult your doctor.

Lower Ab Exercises: Effective Abdominal Exercises for Beginners

Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ – Lower Ab Exercises: Effective Abdominal Exercises for Beginners





Beginners who are starting out in their quest for sexier abs tend to ignore lower ab exercises. They are more likely to go for sit-ups and crunches on the free hand side and may also use some machines for doing abdominal exercises at gyms. Unfortunately, what they miss out in the bargain is that none of these exercises are known to be helpful for lower abs and incidentally they will succumb to fatigue in early stages before they incidentally give up even before they think of doing the actual lower ab exercises. The following couple of suggestions are designed to help them look at lower ab exercises in a different light so as to fit in them.

In the scheme of things, it is difficult to think of quality ab exercises without working out lower ab exercises first. Working out from upper abs and then proceeding to lower abs will be useless as abs muscles will be already under stress subjected to sever fatigue. So, it’s a good idea to start with lower ab exercises and then proceed from there.

A good routine to your lower ab exercises must include reverse curls and leg raises in the core as they are specific to lower ab muscles. Beginning with these makes sure that you have begun on a positive note.

Reverse Curls

The first workout you need to fit into your lower abs workout is none other than reverse curls. Reverse curls entails lifting up your legs both bent at knees almost till they touch your stomach while holding your hands by your side. Repeat this from 10 to 20 times.

Leg Raises

The next exercise you will build in into your lower ab exercises is leg raises. A good practice to do leg raises is by first lying down on the back on the floor and then resting both of your hands by your side. Lift both of your legs simultaneously off of the floor to about 45 degrees taking care not to bend the legs at knee joints. Another thing to keep in mind is not to lower the legs so much as to touch the ground when you lower your legs. Repeat this from 10 to 20 times.

Make it a point to repeat these lower ab exercises 4-5 times a week.
