All You Need To Know About A Good Ab Exercise Routine

By Gerald Holt

Notice all the gimmicky stuff on TV these days playing on the hopes of thousands who want perfect abs but are not motivated enough to get off the couch and get them. Those fads are nothing more than that, and are just designed to take your hard earned money from your pocket and put it into the marketers pockets that are selling that junk. If you want great abs and a solid set of core muscles, then you have to work for them---no way around it. You need a good ab exercise routine backed up with good nutrition and a positive outlook.

In order to get those great abs you are dreaming about, you must have a good ab exercise routine, of course; with the correct exercises; but also, you must base that routine on sound nutritional action and as well, you must have a positive mindset. The exercises will strengthen the core muscles and increase your endurance; but the nutritional plan and the positivity will pull the whole scheme together into one workable idea that will produce results.

The guidelines for a correct ab exercise routine are such that you would do what is comfortable for you over the length of the plan; usually a bevy of 3-5 ab exercises alternated from day to day, and they would be performed 3-5 times per week. As you get more comfortable with the number of reps and the exercises themselves, then you can gradually increase the reps. Make sure you select exercises you like and will stick with, and vary your routine over the months so boredom does not set in.

It's your choice which kind of an ab exercise routine you want to follow; and once you decide on your comfort zone, then you can look at some of the exercises offered and pick the ones you like the most so you will stick with them. Exercises like weighted curls with medicine balls, side bends with dumbbells, medicine ball situps, or cable crunches, to mention just a few.

In this business of building a great 6 pack of abs, it is mandatory that you have a high level of commitment when going through you ab exercise routines; because without it, you will stop short of getting the abs you want, and then your mental outlook drops significantly. You need to combine real multi-joint workouts that release fat burning hormones so your metabolism is lifted to a higher level, and combined with a sound nutritional platform, you are well on your way to accomplishing your goal.

In any ab exercise routine it is imperative that your nutritional intake be supportive of what you are doing exercise-wise, because without a sound nutritional base, your body cannot perform at its peak, and you will find you run out of energy fast. Stay away from junk foods, and those fad food plans you see on TV; keep your eye on good, sound, nutritionally dense natural foods that complement the exercises you are putting your muscles through. Keep a positive mindset for life: this is very important because many folks fail when they do not have this mindset.

The pros know what they're talking about when it comes to developing a sound ab exercise routine that will work; you just have to follow their guidelines that have been proven to work, and eat right, and stay positive. Stick with it, and those 6 pack abs you have been dreaming about all those nights on the couch, will soon be yours.
