6 Home Abs Exercises For 6 Pack Abs Fast

Ready for some great news? The great thing about most abs exercises is that they can be done at home in your quest to get 6-pack abs fast. The following home abs exercises will help you to work the specific muscle groups needed in order for you to show off your cut and defined 6-pack.

Remember that in order to obtain those 6-pack abs fast you need to remember to work your entire body, eat a balanced and portioned diet, and obtain the proper amount of sleep. In order to show them off you will need an entire body of lean muscle and low fat. These home abs exercises are proven to be some of the very best for building the muscle in and around your stomach area. Your abs, obliques, and lower back muscles will all benefit from these exercises.

1. Bicycles. Lying face up on the floor, place your fingers behind your head. Bring your opposite knee towards your opposite elbow (left knee to right elbow) while straightening your other leg and alternate sides in a pedaling motion. This exercise will strengthen all of your "6-pack" muscles as well as tone you side obliques.

2. Hanging leg raises. Use a pull up bar, door frame (make sure it's sturdy!), tree branch, or anything else you can hang on. From the hanging position lift your legs together to your chest, hold for a couple of seconds and repeat. Variations on this exercise are many as you can raise your legs straight, bent, and in all different directions.

3. "Supermans." Lying on your stomach with your head facing forward, simultaneously lift your back left leg while your lift your right arm as high as you can. Hold for as long as you can and repeat by alternating legs. These are one of the hardest ones and you will surely struggle at first. But you will be amazed at the progress you make over the course of just a couple weeks in strength and flexibility!

4. Flat leg raises. Lying on your back with your legs straight out in front of you, simultaneously lift your legs (keep them straight) up off the floor and hold for 5-10 seconds. While coming back down, attempt to never let your feet hit the ground. You can even go side to side or have someone help you to propel your legs down to either side.

5. Maintain good posture. Many people are unaware of the benefits of good posture. Perhaps more appropriately, the adverse effects of poor posture on your abs. Maintain your shoulder blades touching the back of your chair for best results. Tensing your stomach off and on for about 15 seconds at a time every hour or so also helps to maintain the definition in your abs.

6. Crunches and sit ups. You knew this one! The most basic of home abs exercises, but also the most proven - these really do work. When doing crunches and sit ups, avoid the urge to pull on your neck with your hands and use anything other than your abs to left yourself up. Think in terms of raising your chest to the ceiling and you will feel the burn in your abs! For best results, you can incorporate an exercise ball with your crunches.
