Instructions
  1. Step 1

    How to do the Best Abs Workout Step 1

    First of all, if you already workout, yo may be able to just alter your exercise plan a little bit to increase ab strength. The key to stronger abs, is doing exercises that strengthen your core (your upper abs, lower abs, obliques and lower back) Many of the exercises you already do will accomplish this if you just do them slightly different.

  2. Step 2

    Try to do as much of your workout standing up as possible, this will put more emphasis on your core then if you were to do the same exercise sitting down. For example, if you are doing bicep curls, do them standing up instead of sitting on the bend. If you want to work your chest, do cable pulls standing up instead of using the fly machine. There are many variations of the same workouts you already do that will benefit your abs more by doing them standing.
