    Three Steps To Perfect Abs


    2010 - 07.01

    Crazy, ripped, difficult contour abs. That’s the key to showing an awesome body. Whether you reckon that all training is approximately is making certain your chest is large sufficient to make your shirt hang out past your stomach then you’re lost the boat. Chiseled abs is awesome abs.

    So How do you get ripped abs?

    It’s approximately diet, cardio, ab belts and difficult ab routines. I’ll give you the low down on how to burn in some washboard abs with this killer ab routine and save the diet ramble for another time.

    First of all whether your not training abs, start. That would be beginner ab routine phase one! Three sets of crunches for 20 reps a set. Whether that’s not a problem then superset each set of crunches with a set of hip roles, followed by a brief 30 moment rest to let the burn fizzle a bit.

    For hip roles you lie on the ground pushing down with your hands and raise your pelvis off the floor so the tail bone comes right up and squeeze the abs!

    Final step in the beginner ab routine is to add in some bridges or “planks” as some “guru’s” of fitness have coined them. This is basically a pushup position but you don’t rest on your hands, you rest on your forearms and fair hold it for 30-60 seconds. Don’t let your lower back sag! Keep a slightly inverted c posture like your trying to pull your hips toward your chin.

    So here is the ab routine once you are working all exercises together.

    Beginner ab routine phase 1:
    Crunch x20
    Hip roll x20
    Bridge for 30-60 seconds
    Rest and repeat for 3 circuits or fair keep rotating through!

    Alright sufficient of the simple stuff, we’re here for some serious abs, killer abs.

    Onto Ab Routine 2: The ab killer! I like pet names.

    This ab routine will all be done on the decline bench.

    The first ab exercise? Decline hip roll/leg raise. Beauty!

    Step 1: Place your head where your feet should be

    Step 2: seize the bench or the footholds; whichever is more comfortable (not that it will matter in a few minutes)!

    Step 3: Stretch out and do a straight-legged leg raises.

    Step 4: once at the summit of the leg raise turn it into a hip roll so that you point your feet at the ceiling. Hold for a three count and go back down!

    Moment ab routine exercise:
    Incline sit-ups:
    Step 1: place your feet in the foot holds (you’ve turned around!)
    Step 2: Lower yourself until you’re approximately a foot brief of lying fully back
    Step 3: Come back up whether you’re still with me!

    Third ab routine exercise:
    Incline Russian twists (even sounds evil doesn’t it?)

    Step 1: don’t go out of the sit up position. Fair seize a medicine ball or a 10- pound weight.

    Step 2: straighten fully your arms right to your front and lower yourself to the foot position of the incline sit up and hold it.

    Step 3: Rotate to the right 90 degrees with your arms straight and then back to the left at 90 degrees. That’s one rep. You don’t come out of the foot at all! Fun huh?

    Here it is ab routine layout:
    Leg raise/hip roll x20
    Incline sit-ups x20
    Russian twists x20 or 40 whether you count both sides!

    No rest between ab exercises, and only 30-60 seconds rest after completing the tri-set.

    Third Ab Routine:
    And the grand daddy toughest ab routine ever? For mortals besides? Because I remember something approximately homer Simpson and a cannon ball, but I reckon you need to have access to the applesauce bar for that ab routine to work!

    Well let’s call it the “commando cardio ab annihilation” workout. I have to have a fancy name on it or you wouldn’t be interested! It involves a pre-stretch, a contraction and a dynamic stabilization (I fair made that up, but you get the thought) exercise. Here are the ab routine exercises.

    1. Smith machine, Swiss ball hip rolls
    2. Partner resisted Swiss ball crunches
    3. Swiss ball rollouts
    4. Profuse sweating and clutching of the stomach.

    Ab routine exercise 1: Smith machine, Swiss ball hip rolls:

    1.Set the bar low in the smith machine, fair below the summit of the Swiss ball.

    2. Sit on the ball and roll out so that you have to reach back and seize the bar as you lie on the ball. You should be approximately 2-3 feet absent, stabilizing your self by holding the bar and flexing everything!

    3. Using only your abs, stretch your pelvis down as low as it will go and then do a hip roll. Legs straight is the toughest.

    Ab routine exercise 2: Partner resisted Swiss ball crunches.

    1. It’s a normal Swiss ball ab crunch but your arms are crossed across your chest and your “ally” pushes down on your shoulders to apply resistance. That’s it,..ahem.

    Ab routine exercise 3: Swiss ball rollouts.

    1. Kneel on a pad with legs crossed ball in front of you not on the pad.

    2. Your hands are on the ball so it now looks like your praying?

    3. Roll the ball out until your straight as a board with your head between your arms and pull it back in.

    4. Profuse sweating and clutching of the stomach. This should come naturally.

    In an ab routine all together?

    Smith machine/Swiss ball hip rolls x20

    Partner resisted Swiss ball crunches x20

    Swiss ball rolloutsx20

    Rest 30-60 seconds after each tri-set circuit or continue right through whether you’re a freak of nature or slightly “touched”. I’ve never gotten 20 on all ab exercises on all three sets in a continual circuit, let me know whether you do! Use an ab toning belt like the flexbelt or contour abs to accelerate the results during rest periods. You’ll find your endurance will increase dramatically.

    How much is the contour abs?


    2010 - 06.28

    The contour abs sells for $199.99, plus the $14.95 ‘Release trial’ fee, plus shipping of approximately $12.95, so in total over $225.

    Is the contour abs worth this quantity of money? In brief, no – the contour abs is not excellent quality and doesn’t work as well as other main ab toning belts like the flex belt.

    You should certainly peruse online reviews of ab belts before you buy a contour abs, to see which ab belt is best. The flex belt always scores well in online reviews as it is excellent quality, excellent worth for money and gives brilliant results rapid.

    Does the Ab contour sculpt your Abs?


    2010 - 06.25

    The abs contour ab toner will sculpt your abs, but it doesn’t work very well, and doesn’t work as rapid as excellent quality products like the flex belt.

    Too, its worth noting that ab belts like the contour core sculpting system, aka contour abs will not exhibit you results whether you have body stout- you need to cut body stout first, and then you will see results from your abs belt.

    Contour Abs Review


    2010 - 06.22

    contour abs beltThe Contour Abs, too known as the Contour core sculpting system, or the contour belt is an electronic ab toning belt that uses ’swiss wave’ technology to stimulate you abs, and assist you build a more toned midsection.

    The contour abs is the largest selling ab toner on the market nowadays in the USA, due mainly to all the infomercials that run for the product on late night tv. The large questions are, does the contour abs work or is the contour abs a scam?

    I chose to do a total contour abs review to assist people who have seen the infomercials on tv and are tempted to buy one. So, peruse this review before you buy a contour abs!

    Does the contour abs work?
    The contour abs will stimulate your abs with tiny electronic pulses so they will ‘work’ like when you do crunches – but the settings on the contour are very limited when compared to other ab toners, and the pulse strength is much weaker. So, the results you get will take longer to achieve. I give the contour abs a mark of: 2/5

    How much does the contour abs cost?
    Contour abs is beautiful much the maximum expensive ab toner on the market. A lot of people are caught out on the price, not realising that in addition to the $14.95 ‘release trial’ fee, there are too four payments of $50 to pay, and too shipping! So, a total price of over $225 – not such excellent worth as it seemed to start with! Worth for money is evil, so I give the contour abs a mark of: 2/5

    Can the contour abs assist me lose weight?
    The makers of the contour abs claim that using their product can assist you lose up to 3 inches of stomach stout. Is this possible? No, not fair from using the ab toner alone. To see the full effects of your ab belt you need to cut stomach stout first, by exercising and eating better. I give a mark of 1/5 since losing weight fair from the contour abs is not possible.

    Is the contour abs excellent quality?
    Contour abs ab toner is not really very excellent quality, no. The components are cheap and do not seem like they would final long. The contour abs I ordered for myself and my wife to use really broke after fair 3 weeks. I give the contour abs 2/5 for quality.

    Overall conclusion:
    My overall view of the contour abs is that its not a very excellent product, its too much money to be considered excellent worth given that it is not the maximum advanced ems ab toner on the market. My overall score for the contour abs review is fair 7/20.

    I don’t recommend this product, as there are much better alternatives for similar or less money, like the flex belt, that perform better and are much better quality, and as a result give much better results in a shorter time.

    Where can I buy the contour abs?


    2010 - 06.19

    You can buy the contour abs directly from the manufacturer on their website.

    The contour abs is not available to buy in stores, only online and there is only a 30 day money back guarantee. The total price is over $225 which is very expensive given the destitute quality and brief warranty time of the contour belt.

    Its worth realising that there are a lot of contour abs for sale on ebay, from people who have ordered it and learned it doesn’t work or its evil quality.

    Before you buy the contour abs its worth reading online reviews to find out which is the best abs belt – the flexbelt is generally regarded as the best in quality and results, and is cheaper than the contour abs. It too has a 2 year warranty and a 60 day ‘trial’ period, all in all making the flexbelt much better worth for money than the contour abs!
