Looking for better results with your abs exercises? Try to change up your routine. This article is intended to get you on your way to get perfect abs through using a workout that provides high intensity stabilization techniques. Changing up an abs exercise routine can help you produce a higher intensity work out which is going to speed up your results.
I’m going to show you an example today of one of my favorite ab workouts that doesn’t include any direct ab exercises at all. This work out it set up in a tri-set format (similar to a super set).
Here goes:
1a. Renegade Dumbbell Rows
1b. Front Squats with Barbell
1c. Mountain Climbers on Floor
A good rep scheme to use with this could be 3-4 sets of 8 reps for each exercise, or more sets for less reps, such as 5 sets of 5 reps of each exercise. For mountain climbers, your sets would be time intervals (every 30 seconds).
Starting position for the renegade dumbbell is just like a pushup position. With only difference being is that you have your hands on two dumbbells. You then row one dumbbell up while stabilizing your body with the other arm. Then switch arms by bringing the dumbbell back to the ground and rowing the other one this time using your other arm to stabilize your body. It is when you are stabilizing your abdominals are being worked. Even though you aren’t targeting your abs directly, you’ll feel it in the morning on your midsection core area.
If you are wondering how front squats are performed, they are done similar to back squats. The only difference being that you position the barbell in front of your body on the front of your shoulders unlike in back squats when you rest them on the upper part of your back. Set the barbell on your shoulders with your arms crossed and push your firsts into the bar against your shoulders, keeping your elbows out in front. 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 simulates climbing a mountain, hence the name for this workout, mountain climbers. Mountain climbers is one of the best way to lose belly fat as it burns off body fat.
These are tri-sets so after doing an exercise, rest only for about 30 seconds, and then go on to the next one immediately. Rest about 1-2 minutes after completing each “tri-set” before repeating.
In spite of the fact that there are no direct abs exercises involved, this is one of the best abs exercises you can do. You’ll see what I mean after you try it!
