Muscle Building
Techniques Using 6 Pack Abs
Workout
To achieve six
pack abs, you will need to perform certain exercises to
produce the abs you are looking for.
Below are a few of
the exercise routines that will produce six pack
abs.
Cardiovascular
Conditioning -
One routine that will help speed up the definition of the
abdominal section is cardiovascular
conditioning.
So whether you do
aerobics, running, dancing, tae-bo and so forth,
cardiovascular workouts are a great way to burn fat around
the stomach.
From my own personal
experiences, I performed a regular routine of aerobic
exercises every week to achieve the fat burn combined with
the right nutrition and low fat
diet.
Bicycle Exercise – This is probably one of the best
exercises to developing your abdominals.
To perform this
exercise, lie flat on your back and raise your legs bent
at 90 degrees.
Place your hands
behind your head and bring your right knee towards your
chest at the same time while exhaling, bring your left
elbow across your chest and try to touch your knee with
it.
Then inhale as you
bring your knee and elbow back into the start position
and immediately bring your left knee towards the chest
and bring your right elbow across your chest to meet your
left knee while exhaling.
Normal Crunches – Normal crunches are performed with
your back flat to the ground and you basically have your
hands behind your head, side by side next to your body or
crossed against your chest.
Whichever position is
most comfortable for you, go ahead and use that position as
the most important part of the exercise is in the
contraction of your abdominal muscles.
Taking the position most
comfortable for you, take a deep breath and begin to bring
your knees to your chest and at the same time, raise your
shoulders using your abdominal muscles while exhaling and
reach as far as you can and once at the top, hold the
position for a couple of seconds and then slowly bring your
body back down to the start position
again.

Reverse Crunches – Reverse crunches are like normal
crunches, only that you do not lift your upper body and only
isolate the movement to your legs.
To perform this
exercise, lie flat on your back with your hands behind your
head and begin with your knees bent and facing 90 degrees to
your body.
Take a deep breath in
and slowly begin to bring your knees toward your chest while
slowly exhaling.
When you reach the top
of your position, hold your position and your breath for a
couple of seconds and then slowly return to your starting
position while exhaling.
A variation to this is
to keep your legs stretched out horizontally and with the
feet only six inches off the ground, lift your legs up about
30 degrees and drop back to the starting position
again.
This will work your
lower abdominals.
Combining
these exercises with proper nutrition, you should see
some significant results within six weeks time and as you
gradually increase the sets and reps, you should develop
a nice set of six pack abs.
As you increase your
abdominal muscles, you can even incorporate weights into
your 6 pack abs workouts to give even more definition to
your abs.
Moving on to our next
section, the proper nutrition plays a very important role
in developing six pack abs, so please check out the next
