The Most Effective Ab Exercise For A Carved Midsection
In order to achieve the sought after six pack, you must use highly effective ab exercises to sculpt the abdominal musculature. But carving your stomach muscles is only half the story.
To unveil your newly cut up stomach, you must also lose the layer of stomach fat that is laying on top of your abs. The good news is that some exercises accomplish both (ab sculpting and fat loss). The exercise that I’m going to show you in this article is one of these great and highly effective movements.
Typically, the majority of ab exercises work your abs in an isolated fashion. Although these exercises will train your abs, they do not cause a fat burning effect. The exercises that I prescribe are designed to decrease belly fat while simultaneously strengthening and sculpting your ab muscles.
I will now teach you an incredibly effective exercise that provides you with the dual effect that we spoke of above. This ab exercise is named the Parallel Bar Knee Raise. This is an awesome exercise but I must give you a fair warning. This is an advanced and relatively difficult to perform. You must have a reasonable amount of upper body strength before attempting it.
Parallel Bar Knee Raise- With straight elbows, support your body on parallel dip bars. Keep your upper body as upright as possible. Flex hips until they make a 90 degree angle. This is the starting position. From this position, bring knees up to chest and contract your abs intensely. Return to starting position and repeat.
Again, this is somewhat of an advanced exercise. Those of you who have trouble doing it should start off by strengthening your abs with a variety of less difficult exercises.
One great exercise that helps prepare you for the Parallel Bar Knee Raise is the Reverse Crunch. Begin in a horizontal position and progress towards vertical as your abs get stronger. In just a short amount of time, you will be moving on to more advanced movements.
Work hard, expect results and go get your six pack abs!
