Abs Exercises for a Flat Stomach
March 11th, 2008 · Filed Under: Abs Exercise
Howdy!
I thought you might want to see 3 of my favorite abs exercises for a flat stomach.
I made a video today entitled “How to Get a Flat Stomach on a Playground.”
Now, a couple of things here.
Number 1 - doing these abs exercises isn’t the only thing you need to do to get a flat stomach.
High intensity interval training, sprint training, and the proper diet will also contribute to you getting a flat stomach and six-pack abs.
Number 2 - you’ll notice none of these exercises involve traditional abs exercises like crunches or sit ups.
I find that you get superior results when doing standing exercises and exercises in a push up position as your abs are constantly forced to work
Number 3 - one of these exercises requires the use of a medicine ball.
I was using a 12 pound medicine ball. Pick an appropriate weight - 6 - 8 pounds if you are a beginner and 12-14 pounds for more advanced.
Number 4 - the workout doesn’t really have to be performed on a playground.
This can be done anywhere - I just thought a playground would be more fun. : )
OK, I put these 3 abs exercises in a circuit.
Here is is:
Spiderman Climbs x 10 reps each side
Diagonal Medicine Ball Woodchoppers x 10 reps each side
Feet Elevated Push Ups x 10 reps
You’ll want to perform as many rounds of this circuit as you can in 12 minutes.
Remember - you now know how to do 50 styles of push ups, so feel free to substitute another style. Feet elevated push ups are pretty challenging and I love doing them.
Here’s the video.
Please let me know what you think by leaving a comment.
Are you going to try these exercises? Which style of push up will you do? Are some of these exercises new to you?
Could you hear the screaming kids in the background having fun on the playground? : )
I would love your feedback.
Have an amazing day.
Scott

I love your blogs, any ab exercises that do not include crunches are great!

Scott,
You’re awesome! Despite the many versions of psuh ups, I always find them difficult to do. Any tips for a lady with not so muscular arms here? Many suggested doing it on my kness and some even ask me to work my arms first so they’re strong enough to support my weight. Huhhh??
