Favorite Ab Workouts

AlwaysTRI · 01-07-2010

Hello All!

Could you please list your favorite ab workouts?

I've got a couple straps similar to this:

and I love to do hanging knee raises!

(well, "love" in the Kelly McCann sense, "We love to do the things we hate to do."

)

I usually do these for the main sets, and then the superset I do a lying leg raise with a butt lift.

P90X- Ab ripper.

You seriously want to pass out in the middle of the workout.

planks, sometimes called prone bridges.

mmmm I love plank! Really I love doing plank. Could you also do side plank? How do you do your intervals with plank?

I do them almost tabata style. I would hold plank for 20 seconds, rest for 10, and then go again for 3-5 sets. I've worked my way up to holding for 30 seconds regular, side, regular (1:30 total) then I rest for 30 seconds and do regular, other side, regular, rest 30 seconds and repeat the entire series again.

Sometimes if I get bored, I do a couple pushups while holding it.
