Great Abdominal ExerciseAdapted From an Article by Terrence WilkeIt is often called the core of the body - your abdominal muscles. Having a 6-pack looks great when you are at the beach, but strong abs are essential to building the rest of your body. Just as diet and supplements are essential to getting the best work-out. A strong core will help you create stronger arms, legs and back muscles by allowing you to lift more with fewer injuries. Here is how to strengthen your abs:Lie flat on a bench that has either vertical support bars or better yet, has metal support poles that hold spare weight plates. Reach back and grab a support pole with each hand - or a vertical bar (used to hold the barbell if one were doing bench presses) - and perform straight-legged leg lifts, bringing your feet over your head. Do them continuously, going down just far enough to lightly bounce your heels off the floor. The reason for grabbing the poles or bars is that it takes all the stress off your back & forces your abs to do all the work. When most athletes attempt these at first, they can only do 25-30 or so. Gradually increase lifts by 3-5 more reps a day, as much as possible - but do not rest during the exercise, just do as many as you can (but don't try too hard). It is as simple as that, but it takes consistency and dedication. Remember, there is no magic pill that you can take. You need to concentrate on diet, supplementation and exercise.
