What's the best exercise or best way to get a good workout on your abs besides doing situps?

Answer 1

running, also kickboxing or any exercising similar to kickboxing. many of the moves engage both the abs and the upper and lower body as well so you get a little more bang for the buck. also when/ if you do squats always hold you stomach tight, breathe, but keep your abs flexed it will help tremendously. good luck!

Answer 2

Crunches only work the upper abs, so you should only do a small motion of pushing your back down and squeezing the muscle. Don't do situps, they really work your hip and thigh muscles more than your abs. to work the mid and lower abs you should do knee raises while suspended from a high bar or do them with your torso hanging upside-down and lift up to horizontal position. The big ball thing is a good way to work the obliques and all the muscles, but not as good at isolating certain parts.

Answer 3

Situps is the best way - even Pilates and yoga [ other exercise recommended for abs ] include situps.
Start slow, with arms across chest. You don't need to sit all the way up - just enough to feel the muscles contract well.
Do three sets each of ten reps of situps, obliques, and crunches.
My son got a six pack from doing these in two months! [he is slim, though ].

Answer 4

I like bridging. Basically, it's like a push up position but on your elbows. Hold it for 30 seconds and repeat 3 times. Build yourself up to a minute.

Some variations include putting one ankle over the other so you only have 3 points of contact with the floor. Alternating left foot-right elbow and vice versa so you only have 2 points of contact with the ground. Also, putting a small exercise ball under your feet to really work your lateral and oblique muscles.

Answer 5

Try doing the plank,also getting a big excersise ball is fantastic,you may want to do some classes to get the most out of it but stability balls really do give your abs an increadable work out-press ups are also good for your tum so long as you do them right!
