4 Very Effective Abdominal Exercises
The majority of us who hit the gym on a regular basis and like working out are interested in having six pack abs. Although we probably already realize the fact that abdominal exercises alone are not going to help you to achieve that goal, they are an important part of doing so. Not only that, these exercises that are going to strengthen the abdominal muscles are going to give you an overall stronger core and can even help you to overcome back problems. Here are four effective abdominal exercises that you can do, some at the gym and some that can be done from home.
One of the most effective abdominal exercises that can be done is the simple crunch. The fact that there are many variations on this theme is very important for you to understand, as it is possible for you to hit different muscles in the abdominal region by adjusting the crunching that you are going. At its very basic level, you will be lying on your back on the floor and lifting the neck and upper back off of the floor in order to flex the abdominal muscles. Consider it like doing a partial sit up. It is much easier on the back than doing a full sit up and it is easy to target the abdominals by doing so.
A second type of exercise which really works on the abdominal muscles is a variation on the crunch. This is typically done with a machine and you can add additional resistance in order to make these abdominal exercises more difficult. Some of the machines will have you lying on your back, perhaps even in a reclined position with your feet hooked under bars. You would then crunch your abdominals, much in the same way that you would do it if you're lying on the floor. There are also abdominal exercises which can be done with you in a seated position by pressing weight forward and crunching the abdominals in this way.
The bicycle is another very effective exercise that can be done which works the abdominals. These abdominal exercises are done with you lying on your back and with your neck and upper back off of the floor. You would lift your knees up until they were at a ninety degree angle to your hips and then you would pull one of your knees back to the opposing elbow and then straighten the leg out. This is a move that would then be repeated with the other knee and continue to do so for a set number of repetitions.
One of the other abdominal exercises that is often overlooked is the stomach vacuum. This one can be done in any area, even whenever you're standing in line at the grocery store. Simply stuck in your stomach as hard as you possibly can, trying to touch your belly button to your spine. Do this for 30 to 60 seconds and then release it, resting for an equal amount of time. Repeat it as many times as you like and you will notice that your waistline is shrinking rapidly.

Will eating a candy bar a day make you fat?
Yeah, well I have been pretty weight conscious lately. I am not particularly fat, actually I'm not fat at all. It's just that I usually stay away from all kinds of junk food, except that I'm addicted to Reese's chocolate pieces...the thing is I've been recently on the quest to develop my abdominal muscles, not a six-pac or anything, just making my ab muscles hard. I do cardio, weight lifting, ab exercises and all that, I've completely cut out on Pepsi and sodas, but I still eat half a serving of King Size Reese's (1 serving = 330 calories, 24g fat), and I was wondering how much this will hinder my progress.
if your not fat at all, it means you have a high metabolism rate, which means that you burn fat much faster than other people. and with the working out added to that factor, there is an almost 100% certanty that you wont get fat. dont worry about it, if you work out everyday, your body uses an average of 3000 calories every day. so that little candy bar will not hinder your progress one bit.
