Workout Of The Week - Abs

To many people sit ups are the main way in which they target their abs, which is a great exercise, however there is and should be much more to it than that.



The abdominals are made up of numerous muscles located deep within the stomach as well as superficially and around the sides.  In order to target all of them effectively a variety of different exercises should be performed on a regular basis.  The following session can be performed after every session to target each of the muscles. It will onlt take a few minutes and can be progressed dependant on the strength and conditioning of the abdominal muscles.
