Post your favorite ab/core exercise

[0 GT 2]

Trying to expand my catalog.

My favorite is to get in push up position with my feet a little wider than shoulder width apart and do a push up. When I come up I pull an arm off the ground and flex my abs when I get to the top of the push up and do a two count. Alternate sides and repeat.

I like it because it works the abs diagonally rather than up and down.

For some reason I really like planks.

For some reason I really like planks.

yuck yuck yuck! I hate planks!

I like laying on the floor with one leg out and the other at a 90 to the ground. Alternating back and forth extending my legs while raising my shoulder blades off the ground I rotate with a 10 pound weight on the opposite shoulder. Also I take and put the plate above my forehead like I am holding a base ball cap bill and sit up with it while alternating my legs. Don't know what it is called but the instructor at the local gym does it in her 15 minute ab class and it got me hooked....

[Wario]

[Ponypimpin93]

swiss ball v ups, Bicycle Exercise, and planks work great.

There's some ab machine at the gym (I dont know what its called) that always hurts like hell every time I'm done using it. I love it.

[Sean88gt]

Ab workouts suck. That being said, I have no favorite, I just want the most affective.

Anyone got any tips on love handles?

"it's not the size of your love handles that matters, its how you use them!" :006:

I have a stalker! :banana:

Don't take the comments about your 50 too seriously.

I have a feeling I'll wake up some night hearing "It's not the depth of your sleep, it's how you use it.."

I like the p90x ab workout

End this fucking thread!! There is nothing more brutal or more intense than the p90x ab workout.



Sean, just keep doing the ab part and cardio and those love handles will go away.

Don't get me wrong, they are way down. Just not down enough. I've become obsessed.

Don't get me wrong, they are way down. Just not down enough. I've become obsessed.

If you're obsessed, then diet, cardio, and what you're already doing will prevail. Just a few more plateaus, accompanied by a change up or three, and you'll get there.

My love handles are now muscles with the ability to flex. My battle is the pudge below my belly button. It's flattening out, but damn, this has been a long process.

My cardio has taken a serious shit due to focusing more on building muscle. However, I've gotten into a pretty serious relationship with the ab coaster at the gym with a lot of extra weight added. I know it's working due to how long and meaningful our conversations have become. :yell:

I'm about to do the ab ripper x workout. if you go to google videos and search p90x ab ripper. the first two videos are the actual dvd.

[8mpg]

jsut for clarification..there isnt a single exercise that will get rid of love handles... You have to just lean up your whole body. There is no spot reduction of fat. Working your abs and obliques to death isnt going to tell your body to use the fat in your love handles for energy.

get ready for an ass kicking. It hurts my quads more than my abs

ab ripper x was pretty solid. it was short, but i was exhausted. the leg climb was the only one that gave me a lot of grief. i think it was because of a lack of flexibility more than anything else.

its all pretty easy for me the only one that gives me trouble are the oblique v-ups and the sissors.
