ab exercise tip

[SAGAT]

here's an exercise that really hammers the abs, picked it up during boxing classes i took a while ago.

lay on the floor, hands beside you. lift your legs (stretched) about 10 cm (4 inches) off the floor, and hold this position for 10 secs, count out loud if it helps. after 10 secs raise your legs 10 cm again. hold again for 10 secs. repeat until your legs are vertical. hold for another 10 secs and then work back down in the same manner. this is brutal, especially the first couple of times you do 'em. give it a shot, it's worth it!

(as a side note this works really well in conjunction with needsize's ab routine that he posted a while back)

just laid in front of my comp and tried it. definitely a good suggestion, bor. gonna incorporate this into my (non-existent) ab routine.

Yeah this is good. If you're not able to do it at first, try putting your hands under your butt - makes it easier. If you need to make it harder, put your hands over your head, rather than by your sides.

good tips backlash and glad you bros like it!

Slick man. I'll have to give that a shot.

you can also do these in a 'V'

hands striaght up, do a crunch with the leg raise, popular among track athletes

 

[SAGAT]

sounds good i'll try that tomorrow.

Nice, I can attach ankle weights with these for added resistance.

 

[Atomic Punk]

Good idea. I used to do those in Football practice!
