There are several abs exercises. Crunches normally help to develop six packs. This exercise involves lying on the floor with or without a mat and crossing your arms in front of your chest. You then bend your knees as far as they can go and raise your shoulders or the upper torso towards your knees using the abdominal muscles.

You should not place both hands behind your head because this can cause lower back problems after a certain period. By doing this, you also place unnecessary stress on that part of your body from pulling on your head and neck. It is important that you don’t lift your entire back off the floor because this can lead to back strain.

The most important part of the crunch is the initial flexing of the abdominal muscle as you lift the shoulders off the floor. When you lift yourself off the floor, you should exhale through your mouth and end with a gasp once the shoulders are off the floor.

Abs exercise can also involve sit ups. You go about this by lying on the floor, feet on the floor and the knees up. You can place the fingers behind the ears or your hands crossed on your chest. Then sit all the way up lifting your lower back off the floor along with your shoulder. Leg lifts is another important exercise. This involves lying on the floor, legs straight out and hands at your sides. Lift the legs straight until they are at a 90 degree angle before lowering them. This has to be done without bending the knees at all.
