Traditional Abs Exercises Are The Least Most Effective Abs Workout


Instead of the typical ab exercise routines that we see so often with crunches, situps, leg lifts, etc… This article is intended to get you on your way to get perfect abs through using a workout that provides high intensity stabilization techniques. Changing up an abs exercise routine can help you produce a higher intensity work out which is going to speed up your results.

I’m going to show you an example today of one of my favorite ab workouts that doesn’t include any direct ab exercises at all. This work out it set up in a tri-set format (similar to a super set).

Here goes:

1a. Renegade Dumbbell Rows

1b. Front Squats with Barbell

1c. Mountain Climbers on Floor

For each exercise, 3-4 sets of 8 reps would be a great rep scheme to follow.  You can also do more sets and less reps, 5 sets of 5 reps or something like that. Instead of reps for mountain climbers, you can do them for a time interval (30 seconds).

Renegade dumbbell rows are done starting in a pushup position with the hands on 2 dumbbells. You then row one dumbbell up while stabilizing your body with the other arm. Bring the dumbbell back to the ground and alternate the rowing arm while stabilizing with the opposite arm. It is when you are stabilizing your abdominals are being worked. Don’t think your abs are getting a workout, wait til you feel it in the morning!

If you are wondering how front squats are performed, they are done similar to back squats.  The only difference being that you position the barbell in front of your body on the front of your shoulders unlike in back squats when you rest them on the upper part of your back. Get the barbell on your shoulders while crossing your arms to stabilize, and push your firsts into the bar against your shoulders being sure to keep your elbows out in front of your body. This takes a little practice at first, so you will want to seek a professional trainer at your gym to help you with the form. As the weight shifts to the front of body, the extreme stabilization strength is going to work your abs. This is another exercise that you’ll be feeling in your abdominals area!

Just like the renegade dumbbells, mountain climbers have a starting position of a pushup.  You then shuffle the your feet in and out so that your knees come up to your chest and back out to the starting position. It simulates climbing a mountain, hence the name for this workout, mountain climbers. Mountain climbers is a great way to get rid of belly fat as it burns off body fat.

After finishing each exercise, rest about 30 seconds before starting the next exercise. For the completion of each tri-set, rest for about 1-2 minutes before repeating the whole tri-set.

In spite of the fact that there are no direct abs exercises involved, this is one of the best abs exercises you can do. Don’t believe? Try it out and see for yourself!
