The 3 Top rated Non- Traditional Exercises for Focusing on and Toning those Abs.

I want to introduce you to some non- traditional abdominal exercises. These are different from the usual sit- ups and crunches that are the only ab routines that many people even do.

By using these new ab workouts you will discover that you are enjoying some high intensity regimens that definitely rock. You're now able to get a total body workout, build your abs and enhance your fat burning capacity simultaneously.

Apart from developing a strong core and ripped abs you are guiding your body through an efficient fat burning exercise program.

Renegade style dumbbell rows

These begin with you assuming a supine push- up that is used for push- ups. The hands should be grasping dumbbells. Stabilize yourself with your right arm and do a rowing motion using the left.

Return your right arm to the starting position and repeat the same rowing motion with your left arm. This one armed stabilization dramatically intensifies the work and tension of your abs and core.

You will feel the difference quickly and be able to in fact see the physical improvement in just a couple weeks.

Front squats

This is an exercise that makes you feel like you're climbing a mountain while the body is lying on the ground. Assume the common posture for a push- up and then begin to move your feet in a rapid shuffling action.

While you perform the squat you will need to keep the barbell stabilized on top of your shoulders. This will be achieved by crossing your arms in front of your chest with the elbows pointed outward. Next you must plant your fists solidly against the crossbar.

You will have to run through several practices before you begin this exercise. Perform it in front of mirrors, or look for help from your own trainer for you to make sure you have the correct form. When you are doing front squats you will be counting on your abdominal muscles for a lot of the stabilization work for you because the barbell weight is at the front end of your body.

Instead of the back taking up the slack you'll employ your core. Although this is primarily a leg muscle exercise, it really rocks the abdominal muscles.

Mountain climbers

These are nearly the same as the normal back squats but you will have the barbell crossing the front of the body and resting on the shoulders rather than the barbell crossing behind your neck.

The moment you have done one of the exercise routines you can rest for 20- 30 seconds before moving to the next workout. After you have done 1 set of all the routines, you could rest for 2 minutes and repeat. You will need to repeat each of these triple exercise sets a total of 3 times.

Without any question I am teaching you one of the ultimate ab routines without using any typical ab routines. You'll discover that these exercises will give you those flat, toned abs sooner than those crunches and sit- ups you have done before.

Each knee needs to be coming forward under your abdominals and chest before going back to the start position. To increase the amount of difficulty you may try out shuffling your hands forward and backward(about 8- 10 inches) while you are moving your feet.
