Tired of doing crunches without any visible effect on your abs? Well, there is no need to feel guilty
because a lot of people can relate to that. These people would also readily give anything just to
have a perfectly toned body and great abs just like the models on TV or at the billboards. Well,
such wistful thinking is actually attainable, even by those who are not fond of bodybuilding and the
gym. Forget the simple crunches and learn the Top 10 Abs Exercises to maximize the
development of your Abs.

# 10 Abs Exercise - Ab Roller Crunch

An Ab Roller is an important tool for toning the abs - it is especially useful for beginners, as to
prevent injuries and pulled muscles. What is so great about the Ab Roller is that it allows the user
to have great abs without having to work too hard. The entire rectus abdominis is put to work here.
The roller also provides support to the neck and arms so that the user can feel comfortable while
working out.

First, the user sits on the Ab Roller and holds the support bars firmly. Then, by contracting the abs,
the user rocks the roller back and forth. By allowing the abs muscles to contract, the user slowly
goes back to starting position.

#9 Abs Exercise - Exercise Ball Crunch

The Exercise Ball Crunch is another effective tool in exercising the abs. It is much better than
doing crunches on the floor because the upper and lower muscles are directly targeted and must
do a lot of work.

The user must recline slightly on the exercise ball, carefully positioned under the lower back. While
crossing the arms either over the chest or at the back of the head, the user slowly contracts the
abs until the torso is lifted from the ball and the chest crunching down to the hips. Then, slowly and
carefully, the user curls up while ensuring that the exercise ball does not roll off.

#8 Abs Exercise - Full Vertical Crunch

Aside from toning the lower abs, upper abs, and obliques, the full vertical crunch also targets the
upper and lower body; thus, ensuring an effective abs workout exercise.

The exercise is performed by lying on the back with the legs fully extended upwards. Then, the
exerciser must hold the head lightly and contract the abs so that the shoulder blades are lifted off
the floor while pressing the heels together to reach the ceiling. The body is slowly lowered down
and the cycle repeated.
# 7 Abs Exercise - Twist and crunch

Adding a twist to the simple crunch makes it more effective. Like the simple crunch, this exercise
also targets the upper and lower abs but adds work on the obliques.

This exercise is done on a mat, with both hands behind the ears and the legs perpendicular to the
floor. Then, the left oblique muscles are contracted so that the hips begin to twist. While in this
position, the abs are contracted so that the right elbow moves across the body towards the outside
of the left knee, then back to starting position. These are then repeated for the right side of the
body.

# 6 Abs Exercise - Long Arm Crunch

The long arm crunch which is almost identical to the simple floor crunch but performed with the
arms fully extended behind the head. This exercise is much difficult and challenging than the
simple crunch. It targets the upper muscles of the abs.

First, the exerciser must stretch out on the mat with the knees bended and the arms fully extended
over the head. Using the abs muscle, the upper body is lifted until the chest reaches the knees,
then, back to starting position.

# 5 Abs Exercise - Jackknife

The Jackknife is also related to the simple crunch; however, this time, the body jackknifes into
position. In the crunch, the lower body is steady while the upper body moves. With the jackknife, it
is the whole body moves into position. This exercise works on all the abdominal muscles as well
as leg and arm muscles.

At the starting position, the whole body is stretched out on the floor, with the arms fully extended
above the head. Then, the arms and legs are lifted simultaneously so that, ideally, the fingertips
will reach the toes. The abdominal muscles are contracted to initiate the movement; then, these
are relaxed to allow the body to return to the starting position.

#4 Abs Exercise. Reverse crunch

Just as its name suggests, the reverse crunch is the opposite of the usual crunch. This is
especially good on the lower abs. It ranks better than the usual crunches because of the added
challenge of lifting one's body against gravity using the abs muscles only.

It is done by, first, lying on the floor with the arms relaxed at the sides, on the floor. Then, with the
feet crossed, the knees are brought to the chest until it is bent at 90 degrees. Then, using only the
ab muscles, the hips are lifted off the floor while the legs reach for the ceiling. Slowly, the body is
lowered down.

# 3 Abs Exercise - Front plank on ball

For this exercise, an exercise ball and a flat bench are necessary. The flat bench act as the main
support for the upper body while the exercise ball is the movable support for the bottom part. The
exercise targets the abdominal muscles as well as the lower body for great washboard abs.

The elbows are folded on a flat bench while the balls of the feet are resting on top of the ball. The
abs are contracted to make the body parallel to the floor. Then, the user goes back to starting
position using the abs muscle only, as much as possible.

# 2 Abs Exercise - Captain's Chair Exercise

The Captain's Chair Exercise involves a special equipment called a Captain's Chair which looks
like an elevated arm chair with no seat; it has padded parts for comfort. It is important for toning
the abs muscles and the obliques. It also keeps the upper body fit.

The exerciser grips the handholds to keep the upper part of the body stabilized. Then, while
pressing the back against the pad, the abs are contracted the legs are raised. The knees are then
lifted towards the chest without swinging them up. Slowly, the user goes back to starting position.

# 1 Abs Exercise - Bicycle Crunch Exercise

The Bicycle Crunch Exercise is considered to be among the best abs workout exercises. It directly
targets the abs muscles and the obliques. This exercise keeps the whole body moving so that it
also tones the muscles of the upper and lower body.

While lying on the floor with the fingers laced together behind the head, the knees are brought to
the chest and the shoulder blades lifted off the floor. One leg is straightened out while the upper
body is twisted to the opposite side so that the elbow reaches the opposite knee. While performing
the exercise, it is important to create a "pedaling" motion just like that used for a real bicycle. The
exercise is repeated for the other side.

In conclusion, there are plenty of exercises and workout routines that people can try with some
being more effective than the others. Abs Workout Equipment have come up with their top 10 Abs
Exercises. Some of these exercises also target other parts of the body for a better toned body to
match the beautiful washboard abs. Although difficult at first, a lot of people can master these
exercises in no time at all to ensure great abs muscles within weeks of exercise. Moreover, to
prevent injuries, it is important to follow the steps correctly and to breathe slowly and evenly.
