By Adrian Edwards

While there are many exercises for abs out there, found in places from fitness magazines to the internet, there only exists an upper-echelon of exercises for abs that are truly the most effective towards your rectus abdomens, frequently known as the six pack.

The best exercises for abs are reasonably simply to do and need no gym membership, only dedication and time. So, Without further ado, I would like to present to you a couple of the best exercises for abs out there today.

The first of these exercises for abs is known as the abdominal hold. To try this ab exercise properly, please :

1) Sit tall on the fringe of a robust chair, placing your hands on the edge with your fingers indicating your knees.

2) Tighten your abs and bring your toes 2 to four inches off the ground, lifting your butt off the chair.

3) Hold this position for five to 10 seconds.

4) Lower yourself down and do it again for one whole minute.

Pretty easy, was not it? Now, here is another one of the finest exercises for abs. This one is called the Side Crunch'. To do this other exercise for your abs properly, please :

1) Kneel on the floor and lean all of the way over to your right side, placing your right palm on the floor.

2) While keeping your weight balanced, slowly extend your left leg while pointing your toes.

3) Place your left hand behind your head, pointing your elbow towards the ceiling.

4) Next, slowly lift your leg to hip height as you extend your arm above your leg, with your Palm facing forward.

5) Look out over your hand while bringing the left side of your rib cage towards your hip.

6) Lower yourself back down to beginning position and repeat 6-8 more times. Do 2 more sets and then switch sides.

So there you have it, two very good exercises for abs that target your rectus abdomens better than most other exercises for abs out there.
