Abdominal exercises to build abs

Abdominal exercises are the most difficult part of any fitness regime, but if you want to remove extra fat from your stomach and achieve a six pack abs then these abdominal exercises are very important for you.

1. Side bends: It is very good exercise for front abs.

Hold dumbbells or plates in your hands and stand straight. Bend towards the opposite side to the dumbbells and get back to the starting position.

Now repeat this procedure towards the other side.

Do as many reps as possible and keep your neck and hands relaxed.

2. Crunches: It is one of the simple and best exercises to build your upper abs.

Lie on the ground properly and bend your knees. Now keep your feet on the ground or on a bench, and put your hands behind your neck or on the chest. Move your trunk and shoulder towards your knees and get back to the starting position.

3. Seated leg tucks: One of the best exercise to build your upper and lower abdominal.

Sit on a bench and hold it for support. Now up your legs slightly and bend your knees a little. Crunch as hard as possible and also curl your upper body simultaneously, and get back to the starting position.

4. Leg raises: Sit at the end of the bench and holding the sides for support, and extended your legs completely. Now up your legs without bending your knees and go as high as possible. Lower your legs until they are parallel to the ground.

You can also try different kind of variation in this exercise likes bent knee leg exercise, hanging leg raises, inclined bench leg raises and twisting hanging leg raises.

5. Reverse crunches: Lie on a bench which has a support rack. Now bend your knees and bring them as far as possible to your face and contracting your abdomen as much as possible without lifting the pelvis off the ground. Lower your knees and get back to the starting position.

For change, you can also do hanging reverse crunches.
