How To Get Abs At Home

If you want to get abs at home, before you do anything, you need to assess what your body fat levels are. If you're holding like more than twenty percent body fat, you can do a million sit-ups and you won't see any difference. The best thing you can do, if you're a little bit overweight, is to reduce that weight by eating well and doing a general resistance training cardiovascular programme.

Once your body fat level goes down to around about fourteen percent or so, and you can go to a doctor or health professional and they will measure it for you, then your stomach will be flat enough that if you do abdominal exercises, you'll see a difference. You'll get a six pack, that kind of thing. So assuming you've got your body fat level down, I'm going to show you two really good exercises to give you more definition, more muscles, in your abdominal region.

First of all, sit up, very slowly, down, all the way back, very slow, come back up. Don't make the mistake of doing them really, really quick. If you do them really quick, you'll feel a burning and that's actually lactic acid, it's nothing, it's not your muscles growing stronger, always do things slowly and you'll get more results.

If it's too easy for you, hold something heavy or lift your arms behind you, like that. Much harder, much, much harder! Okay, the other exercise we can do is a Russian twist. This works more obliques.

If we talk about the abs, these ones, the six pack muscles, are important but the actual obliques take up much more room and give you more definition, so are actually much more important in my mind to get a better abdominal region. Russian twist, side to side. Okay, the first two exercises, the sit-ups and Russian twists, two exercises to do at home to give you better abs.

Get that washboard stomach you've always desired without leaving the comfort of your own home! This video guides you through the secret of perfect abs with the aid of two simple exercises.
