The Free Ab Workout Routine:



Exercise 6 - Inbetween Ab Crunches

This is a simple little exercise to finish off this free ab workout routine. If you did it at the start of the workout, it might not be all that difficult. But your abs should be quite tired by now, so this should burn a bit. Burn is good... right?

1. Hop onto your faithful mat again.
2. Get your body into position 1.
3. Crunch your abs and try to touch your toes.
4. Hold for 1 second and lower back to the start position.
5. Repeat until your abs are screaming for mercy. (You may as well make the most of the last exercise in the ab workout routine!)

Exercise 2 - Ab and Oblique Crunches

This exercise targets both your abdominals and your obliques. It's important to work all areas of your core for muscle balance and a really sexy look.

1. Lie on your mat.
2. Hook your feet under something (I am using a bowflex weight)
3. Get another weight and hold it by your chest.
4. Sit up in a controlled movement (as shown in picture two)
5. Hold this position for about 1-2 seconds.
6. Twist at your core as shown in picture 3.
7. Hold for 1-2 seconds.
8. Return to the center, hold for 1-2 seconds.
9. Release back down to the mat.
10. Take a deep breath and repeat the sequence twisting the opposite way.
11. Do between 10-20 or as many a spossible.
