Work Your Abs Without Any Abs Exercise

Instead of the typical ab exercise routines that we see so often with crunches, situps, leg lifts, etc... This article is intended to help you get flat abs fast through using a workout that provides high intensity stabilization techniques. I like to give my readers better options for metabolism-boosting high intensity workouts that work their entire body while also working their abs.

I'm going to show you an example today of one of my favorite ab workouts that doesn't include any direct ab exercises at all. This work out it set up in a tri-set format (similar to a super set).

Here is the workout:

1a. Renegade Dumbbell Rows

1b. Front Squats with Barbell

1c. Mountain Climbers on Floor

For each exercise, 3-4 sets of 8 reps would be a great rep scheme to follow. You can also do more sets and less reps, 5 sets of 5 reps or something like that. Instead of reps for mountain climbers, you can do them for a time interval (30 seconds).

Renegade dumbbell rows are done starting in a pushup position with the hands on 2 dumbbells. You then row one dumbbell up while stabilizing your body with the other arm. Then bring the dumbbell back to the ground and do the other arm. Be sure the whole time that you keep your body in a controlled manner and you are keeping form. It is when you are stabilizing your abdominals are being worked. Don’t think your abs are getting a workout, wait til you feel it in the morning!

Front squats are done similar to back squats, however with the barbell in front of your body on the front of your shoulders instead of resting on the upper back as in back squats. Set the barbell on your shoulders with your arms crossed and push your firsts into the bar against your shoulders, keeping your elbows out in front. You may need a little practice to do this work out in proper form. Be sure to take your time in getting the form and technique set properly. You may want to consult a trainer to help you with getting your form straight. Front squats require extreme stabilization strength from the abs due to the barbell weight being shifted to the front of the body instead of the back. Even though this is mostly a leg exercise, you'll feel this one in the abs big time!

Just like the renegade dumbbells, mountain climbers have a starting position of a pushup. You then shuffle the your feet in and out so that your knees come up to your chest and back out to the starting position. It simulates climbing a mountain, hence the name for this workout, mountain climbers. Mountain climbers is a great addition if you are doing exercises for love handles as it burns off body fat.

After doing each exercise, rest for 30 seconds then start the next one. Take a small 1-2 minute break in between tri-sets, then repeat it.

This will give you one of the best ab workouts you've ever had without even doing any direct ab exercises. Don’t believe? Try it out and see for yourself!
