Abdominal Workouts, Rock Hard Abs Guaranteed!

Conventional knowledge typically holds that direct abdominal workouts, for example situps, leg lifts, and crunches, are best for abdominal workouts.

But you can do even better results with high intensity, full-body workouts that increase your metabolism while working your abs.

Here are some great abdominal workouts that does not involve direct ab exercises. The workout is like a super-set, but you fluctuate between three exercises in a tri-state format.

You can use a rep scheme of 3-4 sets of eight reps for every one of the exercises. It is also a good idea to use 5 sets of 5 reps of each exercise. You can do the mountain climbers for 30 seconds instead of reps.

Renegade dumbbell rows are done starting in a pushup position with the hands on 2 dumbbells. You then row one dumbbell up while stabilizing your body with the other arm.



Bring the dumbbell back to the ground and alternate the rowing arm while stabilizing with the opposite arm.



This stabilizing effect during the rows creates incredible work for your entire midsection core area. Trust me... you'll feel it in the abs!



Front squats are done similar to back squats, however with the barbell in front of your body on the front of your shoulders instead of resting on the upper back as in back squats. You stabilize the barbell on your shoulders by crossing your arms and pushing your fists into the bar against your shoulders while keeping your elbows out in front of the body. This takes a little practice at first, so you will want to seek a professional trainer at your gym to help you with the form.





Front squats require extreme stabilization strength from the abs due to the barbell weight being shifted to the front of the body instead of the back. Even though this is mostly a leg exercise, you'll feel this one in the abs big time!



Mountain climbers are done by starting in a pushup position and then shuffling your feet in and out so that your knees are moving in under your chest and then back out to starting position.



It sort of resembles climbing a mountain but flat on the floor. If you want an advanced version, you can also shuffle your hands 8-10 inches forward and backward in addition to the leg movements. This really makes it a full body exercise and MUCH more difficult than standard mountain climbers.

After finishing each exercise, rest about 30 seconds before starting the next exercise. Rest about 1-2 minutes after completing each "tri-set" before repeating.

This will give you one of the best ab workouts you've ever had without even doing any direct ab exercises. You'll see what I mean after you try it!
