There’s massive money in abdominals, and the fitness giants know it. So, instead of leading you straight to the information, they’ve created thousands of products designed to stop you from getting what you want, and keep on paying for the newest and most technically advanced ab machine. The problem? 99% of these abdominal contraptions are bogus. Don’t let yourself waste your precious time and money on these false workouts, instead focus on the ab exercises that really work, and leave your money in your pocket and your fat sweating off your body. These five exercises will have you working your way towards great abs in no time at all.

#1 – The deadlift is an exercise that is a must for any ab development program. This not an exercise for sissys. You have probably seen huge, musclebound powerlifters performing this on the international competitions. Don’t worry, you will not look like one of those guys. Special diets are required to acheive those results. The real benefit you will receive from the deadlift is a good workout of your back, legs and especially your abs.

#2 – Of the five exercises, the squat is one that will greatly benefit your leg muscles. Of course we are not really wanting to develop great legs as much as great abs. Well, we’re in luck because the squat also produces a large benefit to the abs due to the need to keep the body straight while balancing a weight on your shoulders, that is required when doing the squat. Just keep your abs tense and your chest out and see how much your abs will benefit from the squat.

#3 – Now that we have performed a couple of classic weight exercise routines, this is the perfect time to introduce the Sit Up. This is the classic abdominal exercise and is most effective when performed right after the weight routine to stress the muscles that have just been exercised.

#4 – The military press is another good choice of weighted exercise for ab development. It also works the chest, arms and shoulders. To make it effictive for an ab exercise it must be performed while in a standing position, otherwise the strain goes to the legs if done in a sitting position. The benefit to the abdominals comes from the effort to maintain an upright and straight posture while pushing the weights from shoulder height to above your head.

#5 – The Leg Raise This one requires a small amount of equipment, but nothing that your local gym can’t provide. Another great exercise to end your routine with, the leg raise involved hanging from either a chin-up bar or a leg raise frame, and simply raising your legs to your waist, all the while keeping them perfectly straight and pointed. Save this one for the end of your routine — it’ll exhaust your stomach and leave your abs pumped.
