If you have not had any professional training or experience in working out your abs, I suggest you do so before you do any ab workouts. Or at least read up on the things you should be doing so you don't hurt yourself or waste your time. Here are a few tips so you'll know just what it takes to turn your fat belly into a sexy flat washboard of a stomach and shape your abs.
If your goal is to turn your belly into a six pack of protruding abs, sit ups and crunches will not do the trick. Only because these ab exercises don't focus entirely on your abs and will work the hip flexors once your abs are exhausted.
Working the hip flexors too much can actually make your belly look fatter so you'll want to learn some proper exercises to strengthen and shape your abs. The only real results you'll get from doing sit ups or crunches is a real sore neck!
Proper crunches WILL help shape your abs but you have to do them right. Keep your eyes up focusing on the ceiling and only go one-third of the way up. Breathe out as you contract your abs and repeat until exhaustion.
Some of the best ways to shape your abs will require you to use weights, and you don't even need to focus specifically on the ab region. Weight lifting like squats and dead lifts may be the two best ways you can really begin to shape your abs. When you are doing these exercises, your abs will naturally flex and work hard to stabilize your body. Since you are using weight resistance, your abs will most certainly get more ripped than by doing your normal sit-ups or crunches.
The one thing you need to focus on more than anything if you want to have nice looking abs is the food you eat. If your diet is no good, it doesn't matter how hard you work in the gym, you'll never develop or shape your abs the way you want to. Dieting is the most important aspect when working to develop your abs.
Once you begin to get in the habit of eating healthy and working out on a consistent basis, including doing dead lifts and squats, your abs will begin to form even without dong ab specific exercises. Of course finding a few ab exercises to include in your workout will only speed up the process. Just remember that sit-ups and crunches are not the answer. Dieting and using squats and dead lifts in your workout routine are!
