Instead of the usual high repetition based ab workouts like sit up and crunches, this workout is going to incorporate weighted exercises which helps to really build the thickness of your rectus abdominis. This is a circuit based workout so make sure you take little to no rest in-between exercises and take no longer than 45second-1min breaks.

3 sets 

Hanging leg raise – 10-15 repetitions

Rope crunches – 10-15 repetitions

Med ball twists – of 15 reps (either side)

Cable wood chopper – 10-15 reps (each side)

The ab roller is a classic piece of kit but rarely gets used by your average person in the gym. Not only does it hit hit your abs like you’d never believe but it also works your entire core and results in total body strength. If your gym does not have one handy for you to use then you can easily pick one up online or most fitness stores for a very reasonable price. Another reason why its such a great piece of kit is because its so portable and all you need is a matt or cushion for you knees and a flat floor and your ready to go!

There is a few different ways you can use the ab roller/wheel but the most basic and the most effective is the kneeling ab roll out.

Kneeling ab roll:

1.) Start in the kneeling position with the ab roller in front of you.

2.) Grip either side of the ab roller with your hands firmly.

3.) slowly begin to roll out whilst keeping at tight core until your body is in a straight position.

4.) pause at the bottom then slowly roll back to the start position.

Try 3 sets of 10-15 reps (or what ever you can get)

*Be sure to warm up and stretch of your whole body (especially your back)

Here is a intense high repetition based leg workout, followed up with some core burning abs. The reason i chose to put the two together is because when training legs and performing exercises like squats, alot of natural testosterone is being released which helps with all round fat loss. So adding an ab workout at the end will help you burn of that extra fat around your stomach area you’ve been trying to lose.

 

Barbell squats:

4 sets of 12 – 15 reps

Hack squat:

4 sets of 12-15 reps

Single leg dumbbell lunge:

4 sets of 12-15 reps per leg

Quad extensions:

4 sets of 15 reps

Hamstring curls:

4 sets of 12

 

Hanging leg raise:

3 sets of 10-15 reps

Weighted sit ups:

3 sets of 15-20 reps

Exercise ball crunches:

3 sets of 15-20 reps

Double crunch

3 sets of 20-40 reps

Complete 6 pack abs

There are so many different views when it comes to how to actually get a perfect 6 pack.The other day i mentioned that abs are made in the kitchen which is completely true but I have also personally found that you need to train abs how you train the rest of your body, for example when you train deltoids you tend to hit every angle, when you train chest you also train every angle and perfrom different presses and movements that will in time will developed a well rounded muscle. So when it comes to abs why don’t you do the same? Another muscle that usually gets ignored are your internal and external obliques, well trained and ripped obliques gives you a great looking stomach and also helps the classic v line cut into your lower abs. I tend to hit abs with weight so I’m getting a rep range of 10-15 and then also mix it up with high rep exercises. Take this into consideration next time you hit your abs!
