Each one of us may have very different idea on best abdominal exercises. Nevertheless there is only one fact which decides the abdominal exercise is best or worst.

There should be a distinction between abdominal exercises which tighten the muscles and full body exercises which burns fat in the body. A mix of both exercises should be done to get the desired result.

Here is the list of the abdominal exercises left out by most people.

1. Mountain climbers.

Lay down in “push up” position. Then move your hands and legs as if you are walking over an inclined plane. But in reality you stay in the same place. First bring up one leg to your armpit, then switch to the other.This is a great full body exercise, an excellent fat burner and it really engages the abdominal muscles.

2. Static jumps.

This exercise closely resembles mountain climbing. Initially lay down in the push up position. Instead of alternating between bringing your legs forward, here you “jump” forward with both legs at once, landing your feet beneath your chest while keeping your hands planted on the ground. Kick back to straighten your legs and repeat.Done correctly, this is once again an excellent full body exercise. It sounds easy, but after a few repetitions you’ll feel a bit differently about it! One of the best abdominal exercises you can do.

3. Hanging leg lifts.

Mostly this exercise is done on hanging from a pull up bar. Hang with your arms and legs extended. Now raise your knees, bringing them in towards your chest. Do not jerk, use a smooth, controlled motion. The one more tougher variation of the above exercise is- keeping the legs straight and then pulling them up to almost your waist levels. Also do some pull ups in between few repetitions’ of this exercise.

4. Towel slide.

For this exercise you need a smooth surface that will allow a piece of cloth, like a towel or old shirt, to slide freely. In other words, a tiled floor will work, a carpet won’t.

This exercise is simply explained here- Assume you are using a towel. Get into push up position with your feet on the towel. Now, while keeping your legs and arms straight, slide your feet in towards your hands (until they’re more or less in line with your waist), then slide back into the full pushup position and repeat. Try to concentrate on your abdomen while doing this exercise.

To make this exercise doubly powerful, do pushups after every 2 or 3 slides.

5. Jack knives.

This is also one of the best abdominal exercise. Lie flat on your back, legs straight and arms stretched out over your head. Now, lift your legs while keeping them straight, and at the same time lift your arms (also keeping them straight) to touch your legs in the air above your waist. Never jerk when you do this exercise, maintain a smooth controlled motion. When you can’t do any more reps without jerking, it’s time to stop. The above exercises are really some of the best abdominal exercises. Incorporate them into your exercise regimen for beneficial results.
