Work your abs like a fighter!
Fighters have strong and functional abs; they develop their strength and power through many intense exercises, but certainly not crunches!
Among the best exercises is the hanging leg raise: I talked about it in previous posts and we can do many variations of this terrific exercise.
I learned this one from Pavel Tsatsouline, a former instructor of the Soviet Special Forces. Pavel is probably one of the best expert and author in fitness, strength and conditioning today. His straightforward approach will save you time and you’ll get real results in term of resilient and functional fitness.
Only one thing, don’t be lazy! If you are serious about fitness, your level will skyrocket!
Sure, this exercise is not for everyone, at least not if you are a beginner. But you can learn quickly to master the classic hanging leg raise.
If you are in a decent shape, try it: raise your knees and twist slightly. You’ll feel already your
obliques, believe me! You need to pull more on one arm, but keep both straight. Extend your leg like a fighter does a kick and maintain the position for 3-5 seconds: your total body will scream with pleasure!... just kidding.
You do not want to do many reps, it’s tough, except if you are a new Bruce Lee!
Have a good workout!
