The abdominal muscles are some of the most prized assets to any physique. In the fitness world, everyone wants a rock-hard six-pack - the finishing touch to any impressive physique. In the athletic realm, strong abs are needed to excel at any sport. In modern society, the average individual aspires for a flat-stomach, but few are willing to put in the effort.
Try to do the Weighted Crunch :
Instructions
Preparation
Lie supine on bench with head hanging off and knees and hips bent. Hold plate behind neck.
Execution
Flex waist to raise upper torso from bench. Keep low back on bench and raise torso up as high as possible. Return until back of shoulders contact padded incline board. Repeat.
or Swiss Ball Weighted Crunches :
The opportunities are endless when it comes to a Swiss Ball, but weighted crunches are one of my favorites. Choose a weight that allows you to perform 3 sets of 8?10 repetitions. Position yourself on the ball just to the front of the top (to ensure a full range of motion) and slowly allow your spine to wrap back around the ball. Be sure to anchor your feet with a weight at least twice as heavy as the weight you use to perform the exercise.
