Everybody wants their midsection to look good. If your abs are not in good shape, you are nobody, at least to some. While a slim, muscled midsection looks great, it’ll look even better on a body which is well toned all around. Incorporate ab exercises into your routine for nice looking abs – and a great looking body!

There are essentially a few good ab exercises out there. If you try one and it’s not for you, just move on, there’s a load more to choose between. Each exercise works better for some folk than others. You may have to try several before finding some which you like. And of course, your abs still get a session irrespective of which one you select.

1. Still Bike Crunches – Now while crunches can’t do the job alone, they’re favorable. Bicycle crunches employ your ab muscle regions : rectus abdominal, lower abdominal and oblique abs. Do this exercise lying on the floor, back rounded and hands behind the neck to avoid straining yourself. Your higher abs will be engaged, and your lower abs will come into action as you lift your knees up to form a 90 degree angle. Move the other knee to the centre of your body while moving the opposite elbow to your knee. Alternate sides for one full count each time.

2. Kickboxing and Martial Arts – You can take classes at the gym or try using TaeBo tapes. The pulling down motions of your arms and the upward motion of your legs is like doing a crunch standing up! Kickboxing uses all your abdominal muscles so helping your whole body burn fat. All the movements you can do are done with your abs tightened ; this helps you keep balance for a better workout.

3. Torso Twists – A body twist tightens your abs as you move from side to side in short , quick movements. You must do this one right to really benefit your abs. Broomstick twists are done by standing and doing a sweeping motion first on one side, then the other. Stand with bent knees and arms extended on both sides. Try and keep your hips still as you do the exercise. You need to make your abs do the work here.
