Abdominal workouts form an important part of any fitness plan. Everybody seems to be going for the look of the trim waistline, a hard rock stomach and the six pack outline. It is good to have the look but it is even better to achieve a strengthening of the muscle that will result in the flat tummy. Strong stomach muscles will be an advantage, whatever sport activity you indulge in you can start right now with one of the easier ab workout routine for the beginner. This exercise involves crunches. Do it in sets of 3, 25 reps. Take a 3 minute rest between each set:
~Lie flat on your back on a mat with your feet flat on the ground.
~Place your hands lightly on either side of your head keeping your elbows out. Push the small of your back down to the floor to isolate your ab muscles.
~Begin to roll your shoulders off the floor.
~Continue to push down with your lower back. Your shoulders should come up off the floor only about four inches, and your lower back should always remain on the floor.
~As always, make sure you let your abs do the work in a slow and controlled fashion.
