Tired of crunches? Find a new way to shred your abs!
How many infomercials have you seen on TV that promise to make crunches “easier” or “more effective”? Crunches may be a sure way to get your abs burning, but we all get burnt out after doing a dozens of them at a time. So why not try exercises that are more fun in order to get your abs ripped?
This workout may look easy at first, but don’t be surprised when about half way through your abs feel like they are on fire! And remember to incorporate cardio and healthy eating into your weekly routine. Someone once said that “abs are made in the kitchen”. Eating healthy and doing cardio will help keep fat from covering up your abdominal muscles, but you also need to strengthen them to get definition!
