Want a flatter and defined belly? Try this Top ab exercise and great home Ab routine just for women…
Who doesn’t right. Well, to get those perfect abs you need to eat a lean whole foods diet, weight train, perform High intensity Interval training and use the best ab exercises for women in the right sequence. Oh yeah, genetics helps out too.
Today, I want to show you one of the best ab exercises to help you get a defined belly with a great ab routine for home.
However, there’s a WRONG way (95% of fitness trainers show clients this way) and my way (The Bennett Way) to perform this ab exercise (the cross over). This cross over ab exercise is a great way to train your entire belly (lower abs, obliques and upper abs).
How to Perform This Ab Exercise Just For Women:
- Lie on back. Place straight legs as wide as shoulder distance apart with toes pointed.
- Place one arm overhead at 45 degree angle with palm up.
- Place opposite arm inline with your shoulder and palm down! You will use this palm to get up higher.
- Initiate by pressing hard off palm which is flat on ground so you can bring opposite shoulder blade and arm off the ground so it crosses over to meet the opposite foot in the air.
- Once the opposite foot and opposite leg meet 1/2 way, hold 2 seconds and return to original position.
- Squeeze abs when on top and repeat entire exercise on the left 25-50 reps before switching sides.
HOW TO INCORPORATE THIS AB EXERCISE INTO THE BEST HOME AB ROUTINE at own risk:
