Six Pack Abs - When You Don't Have A Lot Of Time! - A Workout For You

Sometimes you don't have the time you need and want to do a full abdominal workout program. This is a 'quickie' you can use and be done in less time than you can imagine.

3 Exercises.

1) Basic Crunch

2) 90 Degree Crunch

3) 'Invisible Ball' Raise

Step 1 - lay on your back, perform a basic crunch, legs at 45 degrees, feet on floor, hands at side of head (don't pull your head) - raise up until your upper abs contract. hold, then return to start.

6-15 reps

Step 2 - After a 5 secs rest, immediately bring your legs up to ninety degrees, shins parallel to floor. Do crunches again with legs continuously in this position - don't put them down even in between sets of this one.

6-15 reps

Step 3 - Now, imagine you have an 'exercise ball between your legs/shins' - with your legs at the same ninety degrees, put arms resting at side of your body. Raise your lower body up and off the floor about 4-5 inches - using your lower abs to raise it up. Then back to start slowly. If its too hard put your knees together, but use your lower abs and keep your legs at ninety degrees.

6-15 reps.

Now - no rest between each different exercise.

AND between each set take 5-10 seconds rest.

Do 3-5 Sets/Cycles of these three.

Then you are done.

This will be a quick, but a good one to really put a quick burn on your abdominals. Indirectly you'll work the side obliques as a stabilizing motion and primarily your core.

Stretch when finished by raising your arms over your head and stretching up and slowly back a fraction so you feel it in your stomach/abdominals.

Anyhow, hope that works for you all. A great little supplementary workout for your six pack abs.
