How To Develop Lean Abs With No Fitness Equipment

By Russ Howe


If there is one mistake that most gym lovers make, it is spending too long looking for an over complicated answer explaining how to get abs, when in fact the truth is a lot easier to digest. There are three major mistakes generally made here.

If you have ambitions of achieving a solid six pack, you need to cover these three bases first:

1. The abs are three separate muscles, you must hit each rather than just one.

2. There is no need for 2000 crunches, keep it simple.

3. Focus on tensing the muscles at the top of each rep, in the same way you would on a bench press or a shoulder press. Do not simply go through the motions.

Should you get past all three errors above, you are on the right track. But most individuals fall at the very first hurdle. They target their upper abdominal muscles with an exercise such as crunches, but that is all they do. This results in an unbalanced look.

By constantly hitting the upper abs, you end up with a very unbalanced six pack, one which clearly displays definition up top but visibly fades away after the first two muscles and displays no obliques at all.

If you want to get an appealing, well developed abdominal area then try today's full workout:

1. Crunches x 20

2. Leg raise with swiss ball held between your ankles x 20

3. Knee-touch-crunches x 20

You will increase the burn significantly by doing this as a circuit instead of straight working sets. So move from one exercise to the next without pausing. You can stop for 2 minutes' rest when the round is over, i.e. when you have pushed out 60 reps.

Intensity is key to the success of your workouts. Training your midsection is no different here, so keep the intensity level turned up to achieve superior fat loss results.

The main problem faced by a lot of men in the gym is that they simply find hitting their stomach muscles very boring. If they're honest with themselves, they'd rather be standing in front of the mirror doing biceps curls and military presses. However, providing any muscle group with a lackluster workout will result in half baked results.

Should you train abs with weight? This is another question which is often asked by those looking to take their ab development to the next level. However, there are probably several people reading this who will have difficulty making it through today's body weight workout, given the fact that a lot of people take it easy on their quest to learn how to get abs in the gym. However, by hitting all three key areas of your midsection with three of the biggest, most scientifically proven exercises, you can not fail but to aid your development.
