I am not one to get out of the house and spend time at the gym or fitness center. What I wanted to do was to get in shape at home. Maybe once I was in shape I might venture out to the gym once in a while just to show off but to start with I wanted to stay at home. I did a number of things at my home workout routine including a six pack ab exercise or maybe I should say a number of 6-pack abs exercises.

I basically did two things once I made my mind up to lose my belly fat and get a flat stomach. Again, I wanted to get in shape at home so I had to figure out where and how I was going to do it. Not always easy if you do not have the space or the home gym equipment. But I was able to do it because I found a great program to point me in the right direction starting with making my mind up. Here are the two things I implemented.

I decided on my exercise routine. This is a necessary. If we do not have a plan we will fail every time. I know it can be a huge elephant to eat if we try to do it all at once. But even the largest elephant can be polished off if we take one bite at a time. Once you get your routine of exercises, and it does not have to be a lot just a well rounded routine, you need to begin at a moderate pace. Do not try to lose it all in two days. It will take weeks and months to get in shape at home or anywhere else for that matter. I purchased an exercise ball and put up a pull-up bar in the garage and followed a great program I found on the Internet and did one specific six pack ab exercise daily. I did not do all my exercise routine daily because we need to rest the muscles too but this one I did daily. It is called the plank and all you do is get into a push up pose leaning on your forearms and on your toes. Try to hold that position as long as you can and if you get past two minutes you are doing great.

I also decided to watch my nutrition. Yes, along with exercise you need to watch what you are eating. This nutritional and exercise program I got online has a fantastic section on the kinds of foods to eat and the ones to stay away from. So I just began to change the way I ate and actually started to see the effects of my changed eating habits in just a couple of days. My energy was better and I felt better than I had for years. Eating fat is not the problem we all need fats in our system the key is knowing which fats to eat and which ones to stay clear of. If you want to get in shape at home then watch what you eat.

Well the length of time to get in shape at home might take longer than if you were to hire a personal trainer and spend your days at the gym but it does not have to take any longer. However, you will have to make your mind up and get motivated to get it done.

After buying every ridiculous ab contraption on late night TV, I realized very quickly that there wer some ab exercises that worked wonders, and some that were absolute garbage. Since all you have to do is turn on the TV after 10 pm to see the junk, I’ll focus on a few 6 Pack Abs Exercises that will help you build more muscle in your stomach in less time.

Below are my 3 favorite Ab exercises.

Crunches

Yes, plain old crunches. They may not be flashy or exciting, but they work. Do a set of these then move on to one of the other exercises. Make sure you have good form and make sure you don’t grab your head. rest your hands behind your neck, but keep your body stiff, don’t curl your neck. Remember, it’s about crunching your Abs

together and lifting your shoulder blades toward the ceiling.

Mountain Climbers

This exercise is extremely easy to do, but works your abs tremendously. Get on your hands just like you would if you were doing a push up, keep your feet straight out behind you.  For the best effect, keep your stomach low to the ground. Now lift one leg to your chest and return it. Then repeat this motion with the other leg.  That counts as one rep.  Repeat for as long as you can. this works the whole stomach. Lift your legs toward the opposite elbow if you want to focus on your obliques.

Leg Lifts

Lie flat on your back with your feet straight out in front of you. Place your hands behind your neck just as you would if you were doing a crunch. Now, keeping your feet together and your legs straight, lift your legs toward the ceiling. Lift them until they are about 2 1/2 feet off the ground, or at about a 45 degree angle, then lower them back until

your feet almost touch the ground. Make sure you don’t bounce your feet. Stop fully before beginning to lift them again, and make sure they stay approximately an inch from the floor at the lower position.

If you want to get ripped 6 pack abs, these 6 pack abs exercises are absolutely fantastic to build up lean sexy stomach muscles and rippling abs. Use these exercises with a good 6 pack abs diet to get that sexy stomach that you desire.
