The stomach area is such a huge mass of different muscles that it is sometimes hard to know what exercises are best to perform. The answer is quite simple. You should try to exercise all the muscle groups. This will then make sure that all are kept toned and strong and that you are not neglecting any of them. So you should really concentrate on the upper and lower abdominal areas and the obliques. This gives you an all over ab workout. So let’s look at the upper abdominal exerices that you can perform.
The Exercise Ball Crunch
This is an awesome exercise that has great effects on the upper abs. It is very easy to perform and is more effective just the average ab crunch. You perform it by lying on the exerise ball and place your hands behind your head. You would then lift up the upper part of your body and crunch your stomach muscles. Hold that position for a few seconds and release. Then repeat it approx 8-10 times in a series of 3 sets.
The Basic Sit Up
When getting started not everyone is comfortable with buying any new equipment. So starting off with exercises that can be performed with no equipment is the way to go. The basic sit up is a great upper abdominal exercise and can be performed almost anywhere in the comfort of your own home. Simply lie flat on your back and place your hands behind your head. If you are just starting out, you may find it easier if you place your hands by your sides. You then lift up your head and sit up. Once you’ve reached an almost upright position then lower yourself down so that you are on your back again. Then just repeat this exercise again 8-10 depending on how comfortable you are finding it.
Hopefully these upper abdominal exercises will give you just a quick start in your goal to have a flat and perfect beach ready body!
