Abdomen exercises are one of the most recent, and yet, most debatable topics in the fitness and exercise industry. Hundreds of ab gadgets, gimmicks, and exercise equipment have flooded the market for people seeking sexier and flatter abdominals... that sexy six-pack abs look that everyone seeks.

The problem is that most of the abdominal exercises that are recommended all over the internet, and in publications, etc, are not necessarily the best way to get that six-pack abs look. First and foremost, the chief aspect for great looking six pack abdominals is losing the extra tummy fat that is covering them up. To be open, most people already have proper abdominals underneath, yet the six-pack abs are simply covered up by all of that extra flabby stomach fat.

Instead of focusing very much on abdominal exercises to make your tummy flatter and more like a six-pack, you will shed much more body fat by focusing a large amount of your training time with special combinations of high intensity full-body, multi-joint exercises. The best exercises for losing that abdominal weight are the exercises that work the major portions of the body at once.

Exercises that work the large muscle groups of the legs, upper and lower vertebrae, and chest give you the biggest metabolic bash for your buck in terms of abdominal fat loss. Merging these types of big multi-joint exercises in high strength super-set, tri-set, or circuit fashion gives you the biggest fat-burning and metabolism increasing response from your exercises.

And that is one of the best kept tricks for flat sexy abdominals that are actually visible as a six-pack!

Now when it comes to abdominal-specific exercises, another mistake most people make is mechanically pumping away with hundreds of crunches and other unimportant abs exercises that hardly give your abdominals much resistance to cancel out. If you want to actually develop your abdominals to the best extent possible, don't spend your time with exercises that you can do above 20 or 25 reps... that means you are absolutely not doing an exercise that provides enough resistance to the abs. Exercises that give you enough resistance to move you down into the 6-15 rep range per set acts great for the abs.

In general, higher resistance abdominal exercises that provide a much larger impetus to the abs come in the form of exercises that involve raising/curling the legs and pelvis either upward or inward closer to the body. A couple great examples of these greater resistance abdominal exercises are hanging leg raises or knee raises using a "pelvic curl up", or an exercise like lying hip thrusts. Several times, the same people that can carry out 50 or 100 crunches, can't even achieve more than 2 or 3 properly implemented hanging leg raises.

If you really want tighter flatter abdominals that look like a six-pack, understand that shedding that extra belly fat is the MOST important factor. Also, when looking at abdominal-specific workouts, always remember higher resistance exercises that require curling/raising the legs and pelvis upward or inward are the ones that develop the abs to the best degree possible.
