Build Super Abdominal Core Strength (Follow Along Video)

Featured

A strong core is essential to correctly perform strength training exercises, to lift a maximum amount of weight, improving athletic performance, reduce your risk of injuries and functioning effectively throughout your daily life activities.

There are many different ways to train your core. In this workout we will be focusing on plank variations to strengthen the abdominal core region.

Planks may not look like much but they are one of the best exercise variations to building strong abs from the inside out. This is an often over looked exercise but every minute you spent planking will never be a waste of time.

Planks train your abs to be in a contracted state when your spine is in a neutral position. Most other abs exercises require either flexing forward of the spine or your lower or upper trunk to rotate forward.

Planks are also a great exercise to use if you have a back injury, like myself. I am currently suffering from sciatic nerve radiation and am limited to the flexion that I can do, but using plank variations allows me to continually train my abs and strength the core.

The side plank variations in this workout are key for oblique development without adding bulk. Because side planks are isometric in nature you do not need to worry about adding muscle to that area.

Warning: Don”t ever do those side bends where you hold a dumbbell in one arm and bend against resistance…this will build size to your oblique muscles. Bigger obliques aren”t what you are aiming for.

Secret Behind The Worlds Best Abs (2 New Abs and Core Routines)

Featured

Today I have 2 workouts from my good friend Dennis Heenan’s Superhero Abs program using his interesting technique called “Abs Sequencing Triangle” You can find extremely fast results following this technique. See, when it comes to training your abs there are three main components that you must focus on: 1. Indirect core training 2. Direct Hybrid Focus 3. Direct core training => Learn more about the Abs Sequencing Triangle here Each one of these plays a major role in the results you see in your midsection. The indirect core training allows you to hit larger muscle groups and as a result causes your energy expenditure to skyrocket. And when energy expenditure is high, so is your fat burning. Direct Hybrid Focus takes your ordinary core exercise and puts them on steroids… OK not actual steroids, but it does make them A LOT more effective when trying to “build and burn” at the same time. Finally, we have our direct core exercises. Exercises that focus on sculpting your abs so they look nice when that ugly belly fat finally gets blasted from your midsection. It’s these three simple techniques, that when combined, allow your body to see its best fat burning results ever.” Watch these two workouts.
