How to Get Ripped Abs in 2 Weeks

It is beach season and everyone has their own tips and tricks to get tight abs in the shortest time. With these tips you can expedite your ability to get tight abs.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Light weights
• floor mat
• Ab Ball

1. Of course the first step to getting a slim tight figure is to diet correctly. Instead of eating 3 full meals a day. Try breaking it up into 6 smaller meals throughout the day so the body can use and burn what it is fueled without storing anything extra. If you are an average eater you would want to cut your calorie intake by 500 calories a day from what you would normally eat.

2. The first exercise involves one light weight 2, 5, 10 LBS and either an Ab Ball or the floor. Sit on the Ab Ball (or the floor) in a reclined position with your back arched slightly so that your abs are holding you upward.

3. 
    

   Than take the free weight and hold it with one hand straight above you in the air with your right hand. Now slowly lower your arm at a 45 degree angle. Now bring the free weight back straight up following the natural curved motion of your arm and switch the free weight in your hands at its highest point. Now repeat with your left side.

4. Repeat back and forth for a count to 20 reps for 3 sets. This exercise helps all the muscles in your core burn up. You will feel yourself off balance and trying to stabilize. Use your ab muscles to keep you in the right position.

5. 
    

   The next exercise involves laying on the floor. Lay on the floor with your body straight and flat. Now lift your legs straight into the air pointing to the sky. Now bring your hands in to your chest. To begin the exercise reach up with your hands and touch your toes arching your body up by pulling up with the ab muscles. Repeat going up and down 30 reps for 3 sets.

6. 
    

   The next exercise works your lower ab muscles. This time lay straight and flat on the floor. Lift your legs up to the sky but this time keep your arms straight flat on your sides. With a bucking motion from your abs push up towards the sky and then come back down. Repeat 20 reps for 3 sets.

Tips & Warnings

• These exercises are just a variety of things you can do to tighten and flatten your core muscles.
• As stated a proper diet is a huge key to the success of this workout.
• Remember to rest your ab muscles just like you rest your arms and legs. If you work out your abs everyday you can strain a muscle or worse.
• Remember to always check with a physician before starting an exercise and diet routine.
