How to Get Washboard Abs Fast

Building washboard abs takes a lot of work for most people. But if you work at it, and stick to a plan, you can build perfect washboard abs with just a few exercises. There's a few really good washboard ab exercises that only the pro's know about.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Bench
• Rubber straps or weights
• Work out time

1. Do sit ups on an incline bench with your feet at the top. Concentrate on crunching your abdominal muscles while thrusting your torso and shoulders towards your legs. Raise your back and shoulders all the way to your knees. Repeat until tired then increase the number you do every time you workout.

2. Perform abdominal crunches after your full sit ups to help tone and tighten those washboard abs. Do fast short sets of ab crunches, then crunch and hold your position for three to four seconds. This builds ab muscles fast.

3. Alternate your ab crunches with crunch and hold sit ups in your next set. Then progress to side abdominal crunches, where you rotate to one side, touching an elbow to a knee each time. Make sure you feel a burn in your abs. Add weight or use rubber straps to add resistance as needed.

4. Now use a wire and pulley machine to do cross body pulls. Reaching as far to one side as possible, and then pull across your body, flex your abdominal muscles as you do to ensure they are getting a workout. This will not only build lateral abdominal muscle but exercise your core and hips, building calorie burning muscle and washboard abs.

5. Perform leg ups to help build more stomach and abdominal muscle.

Tips & Warnings

• Adding weight or use rubber straps to provide resistance will build larger ab muscles.
• Do not work out on crunch machines. These are not as effective as simple sit ups. Fewer abdominal muscles are actually being used during these work outs. Real washboard abs come from sits up and leg ups.
