The Abdominal muscles are some of your strongest muscles as they along with your lower back serve as the strong link between your lower and upper body and they can be worked almost everyday. I personally worked on my abs six days a week for 6 six weeks and when combined with healthier eating I lost 5 inches off my waist.

The lower abdomen muscles are a lot harder to work on and require more energy so i suggest you do those first then the upper portion of the abs and finally the sides.

The exercises listed here will target each group and you change the exercise for each part of the abs every day to avoid boredom and to constantly shock the muscles forcing them to grow. Only do one exercise per ab section per day and make sure you are fully clothed so you sweat, I recommend a thick cotten sweat suit.

Lower Ab Exercises:

1.) Hanging Leg raises - Hold on to an overhead bar and pull your knees up to your chest as far & as high you can and then slowly lower them. That is one rep try to aim for 4 sets 20 reps or do each set to failure.

2.) Laying Leg raises - Lay flat on your back with your hands under your buttocks (palms face down) and life your legs up in the air with them strait to a 90 degree angle then slowly lower them and stop just before your legs reach the floor. That is one rep try to aim for 4 sets 20 reps or do each set to failure.

3.) Standing Knee Alternate Raises - Standing shoulder with apart raise one leg all the way up till your knee touches your chest. then lower it just as fast as you raised it and then do the same thing with the other leg. That is one rep try to aim for 4 sets 50 reps or do each set to failure.

Upper Ab Exercises:

1.) The Crunch - Lay on your back with your fingers locked behind head with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor (carpet or mat) url up and forward so that your head, neck and shoulder blades lift off the floor. Make sure you're not pulling your head forward with your hands. If your chin is making contact with your chest, the abdominal muscles aren't being used in the exercise. That is one rep try to aim for 4 sets 50 reps or do each set to failure.

2.) The Feet Up Crunch - you this just like the crunch but your feet are in the air with your legs at 90 degree angle. That is one rep try to aim for 4 sets 50 reps or do each set to failure.

3.) The Knee Pull Crunch - this is done just like Feet Up Crunch but instead of keeping your knees stationary you pull your knees up toward your head while simultaneously raising your torso. That is one rep try to aim for 4 sets 25 reps or do each set to failure.

Side ( Oblique ) Ab Exercise:

1.) The Cross Crunch - This done like the regular crunch but instead you try to use one of your elbows to touch the bent leg on the opposite side of your body. So when you raise your torso twist to the left and try to touch your right leg with your left elbow then go back down and then come back up and twist to the right to touch your left leg with your right elbow. This creates a twisting motion and will work your side belly muscles (Oblique's). That is one rep try to aim for 4 sets 50 reps or do each set to failure.
