Exercise Videos for Fat Loss: Abdominal Exercises
Hi, my this is Craig Ballantyne from Turbulence Training and TTmembers. Today I am going to show you my 3 favorite abdominal exercises ,but none of them involve laying on your back, and curling your shoulder blades off the ground, or doing sit-ups or doing any type of that movement where you do hundreds of repetitions, while lying on the ground.The first exercise that I am going to show you, is using the [tag] ab wheel, then I’m going to show you the stability ball jacknife, and then a crossbody mountain climber These exercises can be done in a circuit, for an excellent abdominal workout , that really works your abdominals, without putting a lot of stress on your lower back.

So the fist exercise , is the ab wheel . You’ve seen it on TV. You’re going to start in an upright position. Rollout. Sqeeze your abs , and come back up. Then in the circuit you can move immediately into what’s called a stability ball jackknife  . Put your elbows up on the bench. Feet on the ball, Tuck in…and out. There’s many variations you can do with this exercise, so we’re are going to a one leg one, and then we’re going to do a bit of a rotation. So with one leg. Then with rotation, you’ll bring your legs up to one side, and then to the other. You can also do this with your hands on the ground, instead of your elbows on the bench. And add a pushup. All types of variations that you can do with that exercise. The final exercise, a mountain climber, with a cross body rotation.

So on this one, instead doing the regular mountain climber, where you just bring your knees straight ahead. You’re going to take your knee to your opposite arm. So that way you get a bit of rotation, and work your abdominals extra hard. So those are my three favorite abdominal exercises. They are exercises that you can do in a circuit. To get great results. Burn fat and get ripped abs.
