How Do You Build Up The Muscles In The Abdomen?
A set of washboard abs is something often desired by anyone who is seen in public with his stomach exposed. Whether you are looking to tone up for the approaching summer months, or live in a locale where it’s always beach weather, by focusing on exercises that build up your abdominal muscles, you can develop your own six pack with enough work. Get yourself into a prone (push-up) position, with your toes and hands on the ground, and your legs extended straight out. Lower yourself down so that you are resting on your toes and your elbows, with your elbows beneath your shoulders, and your forearms lying flat on the ground before you. Maintain this position for as long as possible, up to two minutes, to work your abs. Raise one leg in the air while performing the plank if simply holding the position for two minutes becomes too easy. Raise one arm off the ground as well to further increase the difficulty of the workout. Lie on your back on the ground with your knees bent at a ninety degree
