Leading Abs Exercise routines for ladies

By Catherine Jenkins


Both women and men appreciate attractive abs. A lot of folks regard ab workouts hard. But the fact is, stomach exercises are actually easy. There are a number of ab exercises that actually work but you will find some particularly relevant to ladies.

Exercise ball crunches

1. Sit on your ball and put both your hands on the rear of the head and move your legs out bringing down your body on the ball up to the point the shoulders and upper back are all which remain on the top of the ball. Legs must be shoulder-width apart from each other.

2. Lift your pelvic to straighten your lower back and tighten your buttocks and tighten the abdomen muscles.

3. Elbows pointing out to the side slowly lift the shoulders careful not to pull the neck. You should feel the crunch in the abdominals; the thighs and buttock muscles will be working too.

4. Maintain position for just a moment, then gradually lower down shoulders towards the ball and replicate for as often as you can carry out the exercise

Rest for 30 seconds between sessions. Do 2 or 3 sets of 12 to 15 repetitions every other day.

Hanging Knee Raises - requires a Captain's Chair

1. Your body is held vertical by the forearms and lying on cushioned arm handlebars with your two feet hanging straight down. The bottom section of the back is erect and backed up by a back-rest.

2. Compress the stomach muscles and raise your knees gradually towards the chest area,

3. Pause and slowly lower the legs back down to the opening position. The muscles are constantly contracted throughout the exercise.

Floor bicycle movement

1. Lie face up with your hands behind your head and legs straight out.

2. Contract your stomach muscles and lift one leg bending your knee while raising your shoulders slightly off the floor without pulling your neck.

3. Bring your knee and elbow together so that they touch just a little.

4. Lower and afterwards swap sides so your alternate legs in any bicycle action makes contact with the elbow and knee. Do it again.

Perform the positions slowly. Vary this exercise by bringing the opposite knee and elbow together requiringthe upper portion of the body to move slightly from side to side. This position works the oblique as well as both the upper and lower abdominal muscles.

The Best End results

Performing abs exercises are insufficient. Ladies to get solid stomach muscles require the following: a well-balanced diet plan low in harmful fats, Aerobic and cardio warm-up just before a good work out, and stretching out both before and after workout for improved flexibility.
