The Most Effective Ab Exercise For A Sculpted Six Pack
Article by John Alvino
In order to achieve that sought after six pack, you must work and carve your abdominal musculature with a variety of effective ab exercises. But thatÂ’s only half the story!
To unveil your newly sculpted midsection, you will also have to lose the belly fat that is covering it up. The ab exercise that IÂ’m going to show you now will help you accomplish both of these goals at the simultaneously!
The majority of ab exercises train your abs in an isolated fashion. Although they will work your midsection, they will not contribute to a fat burning effect.
The ab exercises that I prescribe are specifically designed to burn body fat, in addition to strengthening and sculpting your abs.
Additionally, these ab exercises jack up you metabolism, which burns calories even after your workout is over!
I will now show you one great ab exercise that triggers the powerful dual effect mentioned above. The name of the exercise is the Parallel Bar Knee Raise. Here is how you should perform it:
Parallel Bar Knee Raise- With locked elbows, support your body on parallel dip bars. Keep your upper body as upright as possible. Flex hips to a 90 degree angle. This is the starting position. From this position, bring knees up to chest and contract your abs intensely. Return to starting position and repeat for the desired number of reps.
This is an advanced exercise and does require quite a bit of upper body strength to perform properly. Those of you who have trouble doing it should start off by strengthening your abs with a variety of less difficult exercises.
One ab exercise that will help prepare you for the Parallel Bar Knee Raise is the progressive reverse crunch. Start in a horizontal position and increase the angle of inclination as your abdominals grow stronger, until you are able to properly perform the parallel bar knee raise.
