Ab Exercises For Women - Why Ab Crunches Suck

Did you know that ab crunches alone do not help you get six pack abs at all and really it's just a waste of time?


Abs are usually the make or break point of that bikini body you are on the lookout for this summer. But most ladies consider that crunches alone will give them the six pack they desire. Though most women consider crunches to be a fantastic addition to any workout, they are not going to provide the look you are hoping for by themselves.


In actual fact, there is a downside to standard crunches! Aside from them being completely insignificant to building 6 pack abs, they are actually harmful to your spine and lower back. Each time you conduct a crunch, you are doing what the most fitness experts would describe as a dangerous motion for your back.


As an alternative to wasting your time on abs exercises which hurt your back, you need to replace your ab workout with all multi joint exercises that works out your body overall to give you more results in less time.


For example, these are 5 abs exercises for women replacement you can perform:


Stability Ball Rollouts


Hanging knee ups or the advanced pull-up plus knee-ups


Stability ball jackknives


X-body mountain climbers


Balancing on the ball with a plank with arms on the ball


Combine these total-body ab exercises that burn more calories with resistance training and soon you'll be burning off your belly fat and start seeing your six pack abs.
