Great Six Pack Abs Exercises

If you are still trying to decide what you want to do about your body because you may be a little over weight, or a lot over weight, this exercise and weight loss program will help you.  What ever your situation might happen to be, The Truth About Six Pack Abs program has a unique solution for each one.

This program that I'm actively following will show you many various diet programs.  It is also a complete abdominal workout program to assist you to get a great set of six pack abs.

Here is a great exercise that I personally use in my particular training program that could be incorporated into your routine as well.  It's called the Lying Leg Thrusts.

There is no special gym equipment needed for this exercise, and it's guaranteed to give you abs of steel in no time.  You can do it on your living room floor, or wherever there is enough room for you to lay on your back.  I suggested in your living room because usually there's a carpet on the floor, but if not, use a foam mat, or a thick blanket to lay on instead.  

This is a two-part exercise.  You start off by lying on your back with your head and shoulders raised off the floor.  You place your hands with palms down and tucked in tight beside your hips.  Raise your legs straight up in the air, and then slowly lower them down until they are at about halfway to the floor to about a 45 degree angle with your body.  Don't go down any further, because this will arch your back and put strain on it and the lumbar area of your spine. 

Now, in the second part of this exercise, you raise your legs straight back up to the ceiling to a 90 degree position, and at that point, you thrust your hips up off the floor, while pushing down with your arms and palms.  Do this motion slowly.  When you are at the top of the thrust, and can't force your hips any higher, hold this position for a second or two, and then let your hips back down in a smooth, slow movement, and then lower your legs to the 45 degree angle, and raise again from there.  Start by doing 6 to 10 repetitions, because believe me, you will be puffing when your're done. 

I especially like this one because it really gets your heart pumping, and makes your whole body core work.  You will feel the exertion to your legs and shoulders and tricepts, and particularly to your six pack abs.  You will also feel it behind the lower back, just above your hips as well.

You should only practice this one 3 times per week, and start off by doing about 6-10 repetitions, and slowly building up to maybe 15 or 20.  This is one great exercise to incorporate into your overall abdominal workout plan because it is so effective.
