Before we start this thread: Let's talk about the elephant in the room You Just kidding... But seriously, don't focus too much on ab exercises if you are overweight If you are overweight, focus on your diet Abs are built with training but are hidden by body fat

Another note: Biggest issue I have with the fitness industry Ab workout videos These ab workout videos are the most popular But are the most useless. Abs are like any other muscle, they need progressive overload Aka: You need exercises that allow you to increase weight

There is absolutely no reason to follow along with these ab workout videos Even for cardio purposes because they are garbage for cardio too So which exercises do you only need? You only need these 3: - Cable Rope Crunches - Hanging Leg Raises - Leg Raises That's all

Exercise 2: Hanging Leg Raises Trains the lower part of your abs If the hanging leg raises with straight legs are too hard, do hanging leg raises but bend the knees • Hang from a pull-up bar with an overhand grip • Keep arms straight and shoulders relaxed • Engage core muscles by lifting legs up • Lift legs until they are parallel to the ground • Hold briefly, squeezing abdominals • Lower legs back down with control • Aim for 10-15 repetitions per set

How often should you train abs? I train abs every morning, after my boxing session But I recommend that you train abs twice a week. First cable crunch, 4 sets Then hanging leg raises, 4 sets

Oops forgot to add the 3rd exercise Exercise 3: Leg Raises This exercise is for the ones that cannot perform either the cable crunch or hanging leg raise Regular Leg raises: - Lie flat on your back on a mat or bench. - Keep legs straight and together, hands under glutes for support. - Lift legs until perpendicular to the ground. - Important: Raise hips off the mat at the top of the movement. - Hold briefly at the top, engaging core. - Lower legs down slowly and with control. - Aim for 10-15 reps per set, adjusting difficulty as needed. If it is to hard bend your knees

This is working for me, however I think it messed up my ankles. How can we prevent the stress on our Achilles and ankles when increasing weight?

This home lunge superset isn't for the faint of heart. The burning heat in your legs will beg you to stop, but the strength and growth you'll reap make it all worth it. 4 sets of 12 forward lunges, then 12 Reverse right away. Build a lower body that stands the test of time: Lunge Form Cues Set-Up: Stand tall with feet hip-width apart, hands on hips or at your sides. Alignment: Keep your chest up and shoulders back. Step: Take a big step forward, lowering your hips until both knees are bent at 90 degrees. Brace: Engage your core and maintain balance as your front foot lands to stabilize the movement. Push: Drive through your front heel to return to the starting position. Breathing: Inhale as you lower into the lunge, exhale as you push back up. 5 Lunge mistakes and how to avoid them 1. Taking Too Small a Step - What Happens: A short step limits the range of motion, reducing muscle activation in the glutes and quads. - Fix: Step far enough forward to allow both knees to bend at 90 degrees. 2. Rising Onto the Front Toes - What Happens: Lifting the heel shifts balance and reduces engagement of the glutes and hamstrings. - Fix: Keep your front foot flat, pressing firmly through the heel. 3. Poor Hip Alignment - What Happens: Tilting or rotating the hips reduces balance and proper muscle engagement. - Fix: Keep your hips square and aligned with your torso throughout the movement. 4. Feet Too Narrow or Wide - What Happens: Misaligned foot placement reduces stability and increases the chance of losing balance. - Fix: Keep your feet hip-width apart to maintain balance and proper alignment during the lunge. 5. Not Engaging the Core - What Happens: A weak core reduces balance and stability, increasing the risk of wobbling. - Fix: Brace your core upon landing to absorb the impact and keep your torso steady and aligned. Reverse Lunge Form Cues Set-Up: Stand tall with feet hip-width apart, hands on hips or at your sides. Alignment: Keep your chest lifted, core engaged, and shoulders back. Step: Step one leg back, lowering your hips until both knees are bent at 90 degrees. Land: Land on the top of your back foot with the toes pointed to stretch the ankle and prevent assistance from the toes. Push: Drive through your front heel to return to the starting position. Breathing: Inhale as you lower into the lunge, exhale as you push back up. 5 Reverse Lunge Mistakes and how to avoid them: 1. Using the Toes for Support on the Back Foot - What Happens: Relying on the back toes reduces the stretch in the ankle and shifts focus away from the front leg. - Fix: Land on the top of your back foot with the toes pointed to stretch the ankle and isolate the front leg fully. 2. Leaning Forward - What Happens: Leaning forward places unnecessary strain on the lower back and reduces engagement of the glutes and quads. -Fix: Keep your chest up and shoulders back to maintain an upright posture.Letting the Front Knee 3. Collapse Inward - What Happens: Knee valgus increases stress on the knee joint and reduces stability. - Fix: Ensure the front knee tracks over the middle of your foot throughout the movement. 4. Letting the Front Knee Collapse Inward - What Happens: Knee valgus increases stress on the knee joint and reduces stability. - Fix: Ensure the front knee tracks over the middle of your foot throughout the movement. 5. Pushing Off the Back Foot - What Happens: Using the back foot to assist reduces the workload on the front leg. - Fix: Focus on driving through the heel of the front foot to return to the starting position.
