I love folk. I truly do. Ask any and all those in my life of this fact and it will be a unanimous view. But when it boils down to finding that concealed gem of data to get a six pack, I often stop for a second, look them in the eye and ask this one question [*SCO]'Do you really need a six pack?' appears like a clear answer, but I'll tell you this, it's a lot of hard work, dedication and a continuous drive of determination. I love to support what I call a little of'fun weight' to where you have the ability to flex forwards and backwards between a ripped torso and a somewhat soft look which has the background of late night grubbin and weekend foolishness. But to each his very own and if that answer to my socially implicated query is still indeed a yes, well goodness gracious I'd better shoot you down the right path. With that being said, below you'll find my favorite of all favorites 6 Pack Exercise. This workout movement will undoubtedly help to build the abdominal muscles and at last fortify your core as a whole. Do not get too excited now, you can still have to lose that nice little grab bag of body fat that you have put so many hours of beer drinking and pizza inhaling time into. Otherwise, your tough work will forever hide underneath the surface and remain a secret that you and only you will know exists.
The Exercise - Hanging Leg Raises w/ the Valeo Ab Straps
first off , I would like to break down the style of my abdominal workout. I like to pick three of my favorite exercises which will allow me to focus on the upper region of my abs, the lowers, and the obliques. I do a superset of the three exercises for a total of 1 set and I repeat this three times. As with any other muscle group being worked, the rep range should fall in line with other movements of roughly 8-15 depending on the exercise movement. One key factor focus I always stress is the tenet of a controlled negative with a two second pause at the contraction portion of the movement. Make sure you breathe out completely as you hold this two second pause. With the rep range falling between 8-15, you can very likely must do weighted intestinal exercises as well .
The Ab workout will breakdown like this :
3 Exercises ( one upper, one lower, one oblique )
Example Exercises
* Weighted Swiss Ball Crunch
* Hanging Leg Raises
* Oblique cable crunch
to review, you'll be wanting to superset the 3 exercises for 3 sets. Always concentrating on a 2 second hold at the contraction portion of the exercise. Make sure to give yourself a rest period between each superset. And that is it. Do this 1-2 times a week just as any other muscle collection, and you are all set.
Hanging Leg Raises
Ok. Now that we've gone over the basics of the overall intestinal routine, let's target only one of the core exercise movements that I totally love. I have used the Valeo Ab Straps for well over six years now and I'll continue to believe in them. If the Ab straps just don't fit into your position, or maybe if you forget them at home, you can always use your Lifting Straps ( absolute necessary for back coaching day by the way ) as a secondary means to accomplish the same task. Not actually as comfortable and fluid a motion, but it'll still get the task finished. Anyway, let's dig into the movement and talk about some of the points to think about while you are executing the exercise. But first, take a look below to get a visible at what we are talking about

a glance at the straps in action
now you have a visual, let's debate some key basics to consider while performing this exercise. You'll need to start by performing the exercise as it is being shown on the left here. You may bend your knees and raise up your legs towards your chest. As you bring your knees to your chest, ensure you exhale all of the oxygen from your lungs. This can ensure a full contraction of the intestinal muscles. The exercise itself will cause your body to sway from front to back. This may force you to use your stabilizer muscles to keep from swaying ( another positive from the exercise ). Do a set of 8-12 reps, depending on how many you can execute and then continue on with your superset. Once you feel you're blazing through the reps without much strain, you can raise the intensity by doing these with straight legs. You will be emailing me in a fit of painful fury But hey, a little difficult work never hurt anyone.
And there you have it. My fave of all favorites six Pack Exercise. Get some Ab Straps and go to the city. You will adore em I promise!
