You may have heard about the abs workout, but have you heard the reason why people are doing it? Yeah, you might think it’s because they want to achieve the 6-pack look, obviously.
But did you know that having a strong abdominal contributes to a healthy core? Abdominal strength can reduce back pain, gives you a quality posture, a better balance and more.
Now I guess people don’t do it just for the 6-pack look. Well, if you’re starting to think that you should start hitting your abs, then let’s start moving through a variety of angels.
Be that as it may, for some of us, all it takes in getting the motivation for a tough workout is a pair of shoes, some good music and a sufficient exercise area. Having said that, many require workout accessories to help us.
That’s why choosing the best workout accessories would be a big help. Your resistance band alone is not enough, so make sure you look for the best workout accessories that suit you.
The 6-Pack Workout
Tri-Set 1
Knees-up Crunch (Sets =3, Reps = 12)
Crunches are one of those exercises that are always being considered if you want great core and abs. In this 6-pack workout, we will be doing a little bit different from the crunches routine that you’ve been used to.
For this first set, we are going to do crunches whilst your knees are up. We’ve provided you with a YouTube workout below so you’ll be guided through your workout courtesy of Passion4Profession on YouTube.
Reverse Crunch (Sets= 3, Reps = 12)
One of the reasons why you should add the reverse crunch to your regular ab workout routine is it provides your lower ab muscles with strength and flexibility. This exercise is one of the best exercises to tone your ab muscles!
