The 3 Best Stomach Exercises That Are Not Traditional Abs Exercises - A unique ab routine that doesn't contain your ordinary boring stomach exercises - no crunches or situps here
In lieu of the usual ab workouts that we see so generally with crunches, situps, leg lifts, etc... I prefer to provide my readers enhanced methods for metabolism-boosting high intensity workouts that work their total body while along with that working their abs... in consequence building rock solid abs & core, but not to mention building a much better fat-burning routine than a typical ab program.
I'm going to show you an example today of one of my much loved "ab routines" that does not contain any direct "ab exercises" whatsoever. It's in a tri-set system (similar to a super-set except alternating between 3 exercises).
Here goes:
1a. Renegade Dumbbell Rows
1b. Front Squats with Barbell
1c. Mountain Climbers on Floor
A good rep scheme to bring into play with this could be 3-4 sets of 8 reps for each exercise, or extra sets for fewer reps, such as 5 sets of 5 reps of each exercise. Mountain climbers can be done for a time interval (such as 30 seconds) as opposed to "reps".
Renegade dumbbell rows are done beginning in a pushup position with the hands on 2 dumbbells. You then row one dumbbell up at the same time as stabilizing your body with the other arm. Bring the dumbbell back to the ground and alternate the rowing arm whilst stabilizing with the opposite arm. This stabilizing effect all through the rows produces exceptional work for your whole midsection core area. Have confidence in me... you'll feel it in the abs!
Front squats are done similar to back squats, but with the barbell in front of your body on the front of your shoulders as opposed to resting on the upper back as in back squats. You stabilize the barbell on your shoulders by crossing your arms and pushing your fists into the bar against your shoulders at the same time as keeping your elbows out in front of the body.
This requires a little practice at first, so you will want to seek a professional trainer at your fitness center to aid you with the form. Front squats require extreme stabilization strength from the abs because of the barbell weight being shifted to the front of the body rather than the back. Even though this is as a rule a leg exercise, you'll feel this one in the abs big time!
Mountain climbers are completed by beginning in a pushup position and then shuffling your feet in and out so that your knees are moving in under your chest and then back out to starting position. It sort of resembles climbing a mountain but flat on the floor. Not to mention, if you want an advanced version, you can shuffle your hands 8-10 inches forward and backward coupled with the leg movements. This in actuality makes it a full body exercise and MUCH more difficult than average mountain climbers.
After finishing each exercise, rest about 30 seconds before starting the next exercise. Rest about 1-2 minutes after completing each "tri-set" before repeating.
This will give you one of the best ab workouts you've ever had without even doing any direct ab exercises. You'll see what I mean after you try it!
