     Best Abs Exercise - Variety Crunches Keep Your Workout Interesting
Opinions will always vary on what the best abs exercise is, but fitness enthusiasts and personal trainers, in Hollywood or anywhere else, will agree that none of them work until you actually knuckle down and do them regularly. If you are implementing one of the top four or five on a regular basis, then you should be fine.
It is primarily a matter of choice. Look at some of the most popular ones and decide which of them you like. Alternating your routine makes it more interesting and keeps you from getting bored. If you get bored with your workout, it is easy to skip it.
One of the top ranked ab exercises is the bicycle crunch. No special equipment is required for this exercise. Lie on your back and place your hands behind your ears, but do not clasp your hands behind your head.
Hold your feet up off the floor and perform a kind of peddling motion so that alternating knees will be pulled up toward the head. As a knee comes up, twist the opposite elbow to meet it. During the entire exercise, your torso should be the only part of your body that stays on the floor.
Attempt to do the exercise in 60-second increments once you are accustomed to it. In the very beginning, take it slow and don't try to rush it.
Another popular ab builder is the exercise ball. Some popular brands are GoFit, Cory Everson, and Swiss ball. These range in price from about $20-$35. Start by sitting on the ball and rolling down until the pit of your back is on the ball.
Placement of the hands can either be behind the ears, as in the first crunch exercise, or across the chest. Use your abdominals to crunch forward until you are at a 45-degree angle to the ball.
Always keep your head in a neutral position. Lower yourself back to the starting position. Exhale on the crunch and inhale on the return. Leave space between your chest and chin during the entire process.
Another very popular ab exercise in the gym is on the captain's chair. If the chair is at the right height, you should not be able to touch the floor with your feet when your elbows are on the arms of the chair and you are in a locked position.
This exercise works best when you never completely relax. While it is very simple to do, it produces excellent results. Simply lift your knees with your legs tight together. Hold them in the up position for a count, and then lower your legs back down. Do not let your legs dangle and relax.
It's hard to beat the old traditional ab crunch, especially if you are just beginning to work abdominals that have been lazy for a while. Lie on the floor on your back with legs slightly bent and feet on the floor.
Place your hands behind your head and lift your body with your abs until your shoulder blades clear the floor, hold, and return to the starting position.
Any one of these exercises when done properly and regularly will produce the desired results. If you have the proper workout facility, you can alternate between the different exercises during your exercise routine for added variety.
