Russian Twists
(plus all the same variations as with crunches)
Russian Twist - Put ball behind back, turn to other side and pick up and then put back behind back so that you are going in a circle
RT with Med Ball Throw - Partner lightly tosses ball, person catches, brings ball to floor on opposite side of thrower, twists back and throws ball back to thrower, repeat
Bicycle Crunches
Planks (aka pillars)
Planks on Physio Ball
Side Planks
Med Ball throws against wall standing, sitting, laying down, lots of variation but you need a reinforced brick wall
Leg lifts - 6, 12, 18 inches off ground
Physio ball pass between hands and legs always stretching between passes
Doing all exercises (running, weightlifting, etc) with abs engaged!
Jumps - really extend up!. Can be done linearly or laterally!.
Cleans/Snatches: These and jumps are great full body movements that work out the abs too!
Good Luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

To show off your abs, you need to burn off the layer of fat that is covering them!. To do this you need to go on a calorie restricted diet and do a lot of exercise including cardio and sit ups!. The layer of fat will not go away by simply doing sit ups and crunches!. If you already have a low body fat percentage than doing situps and crunches will help you!. Don't go crazy with them!. A lot of people go to the gym and fo hundreds of situps and crunches every day!. They treat their abs differently from every other muscle in the body!. Treat them the same as you would any other muscle and you will see improvements!.
