The ONLY 2 Ab Exercises You Need (NO, SERIOUSLY!)

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

What would you say if I told you there were only 2 ab exercises you need to do in order to get a six pack? In this video, I am going to show you the two ab exercises that should make up the bare minimum of your ab workouts. Not only are these two abs exercises great for building a six pack, but they will also help you develop a strong core.

Some might tell you that you only need two exercises total in order to build a muscle group. I disagree. I don’t think anyone should be limited to picking just two exercises for a muscle group because each one often has multiple muscle heads as well as multiple functions that can be targeted individually through exercise selection.
In the case of the abdominal muscles with a wide variety of exercises, namely the rectus abdominis and the oblique muscles; you need to train them through not only their functions, but you also need to target the different areas of the core muscles themselves. Believe it or not, you can actually preferentially influence the upper and lower portion of the abdominal muscles based on where you initiate the movement from. And don't forget to include rotation to target the obliques.
Another thing to note is that instead of choosing just two exercises to build a six pack and strong core muscles, you will be choosing two movement patterns with 3 simple exercises (one for each ability level). Not every ab workout needs to include both of these movements, but a complete training plan for your back will at least build off them or include them at some point.
Keep in mind, any body fat that is covering your midsection will prevent the appearance of the 6 pack abs that you are looking to develop. All the most effective ab exercises in the world will never give you a six pack unless you have a solid nutrition plan to remove the belly fat covering your stomach.
That said, the first pattern is to initiate the movement of the abs from the bottom up, or moving the pelvis up towards the upper body. An example of this would be reverse crunches. However, in the pursuit of including the oblique muscles, you need to add rotation to this movement. We choose bottom-up rotation first as that is the more difficult of the two movements. This is because of the weight of your legs acting as extra resistance.
As a beginner, you will be performing a reverse corkscrew with your knees bent. To do this, you will perform the same movement as reverse crunches, but instead of bringing your knees straight to your chest, you will bring them up at an angle towards your side. An important note is that when you are bringing your knees towards your upper body, you want to clear your pelvis off the ground so that your butt no longer is contact with the ground. Return to the starting position and repeat the movement but target your knees to the other side.
For intermediates, you will be performing the same exact exercise as the beginners, but instead you will be increasing the range of motion by keeping your legs straight instead of bending your knees. Remember to get that pelvis off the ground when your legs come towards your upper body.
The advanced trainees out there have a different exercise to do which is a variation of the hanging leg raise called the hanging corkscrew. Hanging from a pullup bar, you will raise your legs towards your upper body and at an angle, just like the beginners and intermediates.
The second pattern is to initiate the movement from the top of the rectus abdominis down towards your pelvis with rotation included. That means the traditional crunch as an abdominal exercise won't cut it. As a beginner, lay on your back and put your hands behind your head with your elbows wide. Instead of crunching straight up, you want to crunch in a circular motion. Bring your weight to one shoulder blade, clear them off the ground, bring your weight to the opposite shoulder blade, then have both in contact with the ground before repeating.
The intermediate core exercise is the power over, similar to a traditional power up (a variation of the basic crunch) but instead of reaching straight up, you will reach with one arm over head to the opposite side, rotating your torso.
The advanced guys will perform a cable crunch pulldown. At a cable machine with a rope attached, kneel down facing away from it while holding the ends of the rope on either side of your head. Crunch down and at an angle to target the upper rectus abdominis muscles and the obliques.

    Hello Jeff, First and foremost I am writing to say thank you. I'm a 72-year-old man retired and living in Thailand. As my only income is social security I can't afford to subscribe to many websites. The videos that you offer on KZread are phenomenal and I totally appreciate the fact that they are free. In two years I've gone from 208 lb to 175. I totally agree with you that weight loss is through diet. I use a program and have for a few years called MyFitnessPal where I track my calories my protein and other nutrients. I work out three, sometimes four times a week. I was in the martial arts since junior high school so my workout consists of 12 to 15 minutes of speedball and heavy bag and the rest of the hour is spent on strength training. In the last year I've switched to bands as the bench press really started hurting my shoulder and since I'm so intensive on punching exercises for cardio I couldn't risk having constant shoulder injuries. When I want to train a certain part of my body with a band the first place I go is to look for one of your videos on the subject. So again I sincerely wish to thank you for all that you have done and are doing. My only small request is that many times I have heard you refer to older folks as people over 50. Hey, I'm 72 and I'm not old hahaha. So maybe sometime you could give a shout out to us later middle-aged folks over 70! Thank you. Lee Craker

    Excellent Jeff! I've been following your channel for quite a while now. I'm 70 yrs old. My background, ex athlete (long & triple jumper) & martial artist. I was a ranked athlete in my younger days but haven't really done much for 26 yrs. Your channel has inspired me to start working out again. I start at the end of January with just some basic work, walking, then running & then combined some different types of exercises. After see your ab workout 22 days to a 6 pack, I started to work more closely on my abs & more importantly my food plan to achieve a stonger & better developed ab section. I'm happy to say, at 70 yrs old, I have achieve a 6 pack. It is still work in progress, body fat is down in the teens & muscular growth has improve. As well as improving my abs further in the future, I'm currently working on improving my leg strength (stage 2) stage 3 will be upper body, although, I have included a few exercises on the roman rings for ab work that also work the upper body. I will keep you posted on my transformation & thank for the inspiration & the use of your knowledge that you have so generously shared it has been invaluable. Thank you, Jeff 😊

    I would love to see workouts that you can do after centralizing the pain from a herniated disc. I used to workout for 6 years until a year and half ago I herniated my L5 disc and it’s been really hard mentally and physically. Every type of body weight workout I was doing would aggravate my symptoms of sciatica to the point where I couldn’t move. I’ve finally found 3 body weight workouts that have been really helping increase my strength for the past month but I’m stuck because I want to include more but im afraid of using the wrong workout and hurting myself. The only thing I’ve been doing is my same workouts but increasing the amount and intensity. Currently I do bridges 25 reps of 3 sets, half sit-ups 25 reps of 3 sets, and side planks for 40 seconds of 3 sets on each side. I do half sit ups because it’s hard for me to do any kind of bending without aggravating my sciatica. If you could make some tips of different intermediate workouts for people with herniated disc that would be amazing

    I ruptured my L5-S1 disc after being rear-ended 6 years ago. I had to switch the way I did most of my workout, but for my core I found that superman extensions and reverse extension on a roman bench helped, and half crunches has less impact for me than full ROM. Basically I have to avoid bending my back too much, so half-crunches and leg raises work, but I need to focus on keeping each part of my abs engaged and not arch my lower back when doing them

    Hey Jeff, big fan of the videos! My issue is I really struggle to not engage my hip flexors when trying bottom up exercises. I have a clicky right hip so tend to just avoid them Any advice on how I could best isolate my lower abs?

    Sometimes installing more visualization postInjury helps build your ability to customize workouts. Feldenkrais technique uses small movements to get to huge gains in mobility+fitness+pain reduction through efficiency. Search in your area for Feldenkrais Method ATM (Awareness Through Movement) group mat classes. They are offered widely in private studios, community college, and senior centers. (You can even try it out on YT, but hands on in-person class is important to learn any skill at first.)
