The 3 Best Ab Exercises That Happen To Be Not Really Direct Ab Exercises

Instead of the standard ab exercise routines that we see typically with crunches, situps, leg lifts, etc, there are better options for metabolism-boosting high intensity exercises that work the entire body while also working the abs.

I'm going to show you an example at present of one of my favorite ab workouts that doesn't incorporate any direct ab workouts at all. It's in a tri-set format (similar to a super-set but alternating between 3 exercises).

Here goes:

1a. Renegade Dumbbell Rows

1b. Front Squats with Barbell

1c. Mountain Climbers on Floor

A good rep scheme to make use of with this might be 3-4 sets of 8 reps for each exercise, or more sets for less reps, such as 5 sets of 5 reps of each workout. Mountain climbers could be done for a time interval (such as 30 seconds) instead of "reps".

Renegade dumbbell rows are carried out starting with a pushup position with the hands on 2 dumbbells. You then row one dumbbell up while stabilizing your body with the other arm. Bring the dumbbell back to the bottom and swap the rowing arm while stabilizing with the opposite arm. This stabilizing effect through the rows creates incredible work for your entire midsection core area. Trust me, you'll feel it in the abs!

Front squats are carried out just like back squats, however with the barbell in front of your body on the front of your shoulders rather than resting on the upper back as in back squats. You stabilize the barbell on your shoulders by crossing your arms and pushing your fists into the bar against your shoulders while keeping your elbows out in front of the body. This takes a little practice initially, thus you will want to seek an expert trainer at your gym to help you with the form. Front squats require intense stabilization power from the abs because of the barbell weight being shifted to the front of the body instead of the back. Even though this is principally a leg exercise, you'll feel this one in the abs big time!

Mountain climbers are done by beginning in a pushup pose and then shuffling your feet in and out so that your knees are moving in under your chest and then back out to the preliminary position. It sort of resembles climbing a mountain but flat on the floor. If you would like an advanced version, you could also shuffle your arms 8-10 inches forward and backward along with the leg movements. This really makes it a full body workout and MUCH more difficult than standard mountain climbers.

After finishing each workout, take a break for about 30 seconds before starting the next workout. Rest for approximately 1-2 minutes after completing each "tri-set" before repeating.

This will provide you with the most effective ab workouts you've ever had without even working on any direct ab exercises. You'll see what I mean after you try it!
