abdominal workouts

[GoodGirlsGetGutted]

Tightening your core during many exercises is effective abdominal training. In fact, most bodybuilders don't do core training specifically, they just flex their abdominal muscles while doing cardiovascular routines (i.e. running with your abs flexed).
My favorite abdominal strength training exercise is standing straight with my core flexed and pulling a cable with both hands from an origin beside me.
It's hard to explain in writing, but just note that resisting your abdominals' moving is better exercise than actually moving them (like crunches).

i know a couple.

- lay flat and straight on the floor. hands across your chest. lift your legs straight up and your upper body simultaneously like you're folding yourself in half

- lay flat and straight on the floor. hands under your butt. lift your legs up, but 3/4 of the way up bend them like you're trying to touch your face with your knees. this'll kill your lower abdominals.

- regular sit ups and crunches of course.

none of those require equipment. which is why i do them. i hate machines.

Bicycle crunches!
