So if you don&#8217;t have abs you can kiss your social life goodbye.<\/p>\n<p>Six pack abs are not so easy to achieve. You must get them the old fashioned way and can&#8217;t rely on machines to do it for you. you need to earn them and core training is the starting point.<\/p>\n<p>You need to check with your doctor, if you have any problem with your lower back. These exercises strengthen your core, which form the foundation for your future abs.<\/p>\n<p>The three exercises are:<\/p>\n<p>1. The Plank 2. The Side Plank 3. The Superman<\/p>\n<p>1. The Plank<\/p>\n<p>Keeping your body straight is absolutely important in this exercise. Get into a push up posture and support your upper body by using your forearms.<\/p>\n<p>Keep your body in straight line. Make sure you don&#8217;t lift up your butt, drop your head, or arch your back because these things can make these exercises easier and less effective. When you are in position, hold for 30-60 seconds or as long as you can.<\/p>\n<p>To make the exercise harder &#8212; so that you will get more benefit from it &#8212; lift and hold one foot a few inches off the floor during this exercise. Loading your core unevenly will make the Plank tougher, and thus more effective.<\/p>\n<p>2. The Side Plank<\/p>\n<p>Side plank is tougher that the earlier exercise. Lie down on one side, place your fore arm firmly on the floor and lift your hips of the floor. Your fore arms and your feet should be the only parts of your body that should touch the floor during this exercise.<\/p>\n<p>It is important that your body is straight. When you are in position hold your position for 15-30 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>To benefit the most from this exercise you need to make it harder. Lift the top foot while you are still in that position. It might surprise you how tough this exercise is but its equally effective in strengthening the core.<\/p>\n<p>3. The Superman<\/p>\n<p>Have you ever seen superman fly? Lie down on your stomach and stretch your arms out in order to make a &#8220;V&#8221; with the head.<\/p>\n<p>Now keeping your legs together, raise them off of the floor. Be sure to get your knees up OFF the floor! Hold the position for 30 to 60 seconds or as long as you can.<\/p>\n<p>These three exercises are just the FOUNDATION.  By themselves they won&#8217;t give you killer abs, but they are a good beginning. Unlike wimpy weight machine exercises, they&#8217;re hard.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The dictionary is the only place where &#8216;results&#8217; comes before &#8216;work&#8217;.&#8221; Rightly said by Vince Lombard. Getting a flat abs with out the proper foundation will yield no results at all.<\/p>\n<div class='uawresource'>\n<div style='italic;' class='uawabout'>About the Author:<\/div>\n<div class='uawlinks'>Get excellent <b>FREE tips on how to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fitnessmadeeasy.net\">get rid of your belly fat<\/a> <\/b> and be healthy on your way to having rock hard six pack abs.
