“What’s the best abs work out?” A question that gets thrown about alot at my gym! In this article, I shall reveal what I think are some of the best exercises that target the abs. What you also need to know that even if you have a good workout routine, it won’t mean a thing without a good diet. By the end of this article, you’ll be on your way to getting a ripped six pack!

So what are the best abs work out? Any exercise that in highly intense, and works out many different muscles in the body is what you need to be performing. This is because if you want a visible six pack, you need to trim the layer of body fat you have covering up your abs. This is why trimming away fat is so important. Even if you had the most muscly and strong abs around, if your body fat levels are too high, you won’t be able to see your abs!

When you’re exercising, your body burns fat, pound by pound, from all over your body, not just from one certain area. This is why crunches aren’t very effective, as they’re not very intense and won’t burn body fat quick enough. A good abs work out will contain highly intense compound exercises. Compound exercises don’t just target one specific muscle group, but involve alot more of the body. As you’re working more muscles, you’ll be burning more fat and therefore seeing much quicker results!

Here are two proven, and very effective, abs work outs. The pull up is one of my personal favourites. This is a very easy exercise to perform as all you need is something to hoist yourself up with! To perform an effective pull up, just grab onto a bar overhead, and slowly pull yourself up. When you get your chin to the bar, slowly begin to lower yourself back down. Keep doing this until you can no longer perform a good rep. The second exercise is called the front squat. Similar to a normal squat, only this time, you rest the barbell under your neck, holding the barbell with crossed palms. Then perform as you would a normal squat. The reason why the barbell rest under your neck rather than your back is because this will target your abs much more!

Having a proper healthy diet I think is even more important than a great abs work out. If you can’t see your abs, that means you have a layer of fat covering them up! You need to burn this layer of fat. To do this, the best thing you can do is to cut out the rubbish foods that contain empty calories. You know what I mean! No cakes and crisps or fizzy drinks if you’re serious about getting ripped quickly! You don’t need to starve yourself. I would also recommend you eat foods that have a high protein content. Protein is considered the building blocks of muscle, and you need this in your diet the get really muscly abs.
