The Exercises below will show you how to get perfect abs

Basic Crunch

Basic Crunches work the upper abdominals.  They are an important way of reducing your stomach flab.

This is a standard but important exercise for conditioning your abs and losing belly fat. While laying on your back put your feet flat on the floor.

Put your hands lightly behind your head and do not pull up on your head, as this will reduce the effect and strengthening your abs.

Lift your upper body off the floor a little and hold that position for a few seconds.   Then lower your upper body back to the floor.

Complete 5 to 6 repetitions of this exercise if you are a beginner and 12 to 16 repetitions if you are more advanced.  Increase your hold time and your repetitions when you feel that you can without undue strain.

Reverse Crunch

Reverse Crunches work the lower part of your abdominal muscles.  Cross your feet at the ankles.  Pull your knees towards your chest until they are at a 90-degree angle.

While lying on the floor place your hands beside your hips.  Curl your hips off of the floor and push your legs towards the ceiling. 

Lower your hips to the floor and repeat this cycle 5 or 6 times if you are a beginner.  Work you way up to 12 to 16 reps for maximum results.

Let your abs do all of the lifting instead of swinging your legs upward.

Maximum Vertical Crunch

This exercise will work both your upper and lower body.

The Maximum Vertical Crunch is essential for loss of your stomach flab.

Lie down on your back.  Push your legs up toward the ceiling.  Place your hands lightly behind your head without pulling on your head or neck.  Then pull your shoulders off of the floor to contract you abs.

Then push you heels toward the ceiling. You will know that you are doing this correctly if your body is creating a U shape with your legs and head both in the direction of the ceiling.

Lower down to the starting position and repeat 5 to 6 times for a beginner and 12 to 16 times if you are more advanced.

Bicycle Crunches

If you want some great exercises for your stomach, then this is one that you are not going to want to miss out on. Bicycle crunches are great if you want your abdominal area worked out. These exercises are also very simple and all you do is lie flat on your back with your hands behind your head and shape your body like an arc.

With your hands lightly behind your head and without pulling up on your head put your legs out straight. Remember that if your body is not in the right position while you are performing this exercise then you are not going to be getting the results that you want.

Now start pulling your legs one at a time towards your stomach just as if you are riding a bicycle. Increase the speed to a level that is comfortable for you. Remember, keep a proper posture. Keep your hands behind your head so it will be supported.  Keep you legs in the air and concentrate on the feeling of muscle tension in your abs.

Bicycle Crunches are a good way to get rid of your stomach flab.
