Navy Seals Ab Workout

SDC10220.JPG
This is a great ab workout I found on the internet and thought I would share it on here. First id like to say that just doing this exercise wont get you a six pack. Not that its not a good exercise but to get a good pack you need to burn off all the fat that lies on top of them. Eating right, running or biking is a great way to burn unneeded fat. This isn't a speed workout, take it slowly to get the best results, the whole workout should take about 5-10 minutes. Also, this is very important, just because you've been working out does not mean you can eat that donut or those cookies, eat healthy!

Preparing

Before any workout you should make sure you're well hydrated and have et. Working out on an empty  stomach or while dehydrated is unhealthy and does you no good. However don't over eat and drink to much before, just a small snack and about 8oz of water depending on your workout.

It's also very important to do some stretches before you work out, stretching loosens your muscles so you don't pull anything while exercising.

Crunches

For the entire workout you'll need to keep you legs at a 90 degree angle, parallel to the floor, and do not let drop. To preform a crunch place your hands on the back of your head pull your upper body up to your legs and back down. try to focus on squeezing your abs as you go up, and keeping your legs from moving.

Now you're at the final exercise! to preform the bicycle crunch, get in the normal crunch position and the pull your left elbow to your right knee, then your right elbow to your left knee. this is one repetition. Now you've (hopefully) completed the Navy Seals ab work out!

Stretch and Cool Down

After you complete your work out you should stretch your abs out. Make sure to eat after your work out too. Now hopefully your abs are burning and dead feeling (that means you actually worked them!). If this exercise is to easy try doing this workout 3 or more times and start adding repetitions to each exercise. Try doing at least one set a day, at first your abs might be screaming in pain but after a couple days it wont hurt so bad.

Please ask/comment if you have any questions or ideas

Enjoy!
