What Are The Best Stomach Exercises? Most people want their abdominal muscles to look their best, and exercising their stomach muscles is usually a huge part of most fitness training programs. If so much time and energy is going to be focused on this muscle group, its a good idea to know what the best stomach exercises are. There are many resources available for finding the best stomach exercises. So how can a person decide for themselves which truly are the best exercises for working their stomach muscles? First of all it is important to note that the exercises will work, but you have to be willing to do them. No matter how effective the exercise is, if you are not going to do them consistently the exercises will not benefit you. It is also important to note that most stomach exercises do not necessarily require equipment to perform them, although some machines work quite well if you have them. When a person decides on a fitness training program that includes the abdominal muscles, its best to include stomach exercises that work the different parts of the stomach. If you simply concentrate on one area of the stomach, youre workout will not be as effective. The best stomach exercises, combine working the obliques, which are the side muscles, the lower abdominal, the mid section and also the upper section. Some of the most popular stomach exercises are crunches. These are a very effective exercise and very convenient since they can be performed anywhere without any equipment. The next stomach exercise that is also very popular and goes along with the basic crunch is the side crunch, which works out the oblique. Some people consider the best stomach exercises to be included in a stability ball workout. The reason for this is because you can focus on the core of the body which is the abdominal, or stomach muscles. Every movement in a stability ball workout will work the stomach muscles either directly or indirectly. These exercises can be found on the internet, either the exercises itself or videos that can be purchased. If you need motivation and guidance, then a personal trainer can help with exercise routines and proper technique to help gain an advantage over people who just wing it. Another good exercise that some personal training experts considers to be one of the best stomach exercises involves laying flat on your stomach, leg straight and then raising your body up using your arms as your hands are clasped together and keeping your body straight as if doing a push up. Hold this position as long as you can stand. This is an excellent movement to strengthen the whole stomach. Remember again though that just because one person may consider a specific exercise to be a good abdominal exercise that does not necessarily mean it is the best for everyone. Each persons body is different and will respond differently to certain movements. Anyone serious about working on the abdominal muscles will find it most helpful to try several different stomach exercises and then determine which one they can both feel and see results with. If one exercise is simply too hard to do correctly, or does not feel like it has done anything for the muscle group worked, that exercise is clearly not for you and probably should find another exercise to perform.
