There are a ton of people out there that will go to the gym day after day and do that same thing every day.
They never change their workout and do hundreds of crunches thinking that some day in the future they will have an immaculately sculpted six pack when they look down.
The fact of the matter is that will not work.
You need to keep changing up your workout in order to keep your body guessing in a way and your metabolism up.
It is based on the same principle of lifting any other part of your body.
If you keep doing the same thing you will hit a plateau.
Once you hit a plateau you will no longer make any gains.
To avoid a plateau you should always be changing up your workout.
Some exercises to do in order to avoid your plateau can include the following.
1.
) Medicine ball crunches This type of workout requires another person and for you to use a weighted medicine ball.
You have your partner stand on your feet and throw the medicine ball to you.

Once you have done that you throw the ball back to your partner and repeat the process about twelve times for three sets.
2.
) hanging leg raises When doing this workout you need to have a bar to hang on or have your elbows rest on.

You can have your legs bent or straight out to make it harder.
You should to about three sets of twelve or until you get a good burn.
