Ever Thought You Can Climb Your Legs To Achieve Chiseled Six Pack Abs?
General Description: Now let me warn you that this exercise is pretty difficult.
Basically what you do is lift one leg about 45-degrees off of the ground, then reach up with both hands trying to "climb" your upper body up your leg until you can touch your toes.
Leg climbers are an extremely powerful exercise that most people take for granted.
However, I've done this exercise and I can honestly say this exercise does a fast, powerful job of chiseling those six pack abdominals.
The main targeted abdominals area is the six pack abs, which shows just how much power is directed toward toning out those upper abdominals.
If you're really serious about getting six pack abdominals in a short amount of time I highly suggest you combine this exercise with other powerful abdominal exercises.
The awesome thing is that this exercise makes you focus on your core strength, flexibility, and abdominal strength.
Directions: 1.
Start this exercise by lying down on your back, either on an exercise mat or the flat ground.
2.
Now lift one of your legs so it is straight up in the air.
Either one doesn't matter.
3.
As that leg is straight up into the air, place your opposite leg in front of you and half bent with your foot as close to your butt as possible.
The closer your foot is to your butt, the harder it is.
4.
Next you want to "climb" the leg that is straight up into the air, by grabbing the side of your leg with each hand however many times it takes for you to touch your toes.
5.
The whole process is climbing your leg with as little many grabs as it takes you to get up your leg.
Keep in mind that you want to keep that leg on the same plane without moving it throughout the whole exercise.
6.
So you want to climb each separate leg 12 times, or 24 times altogether.
Basically you will have climbed both legs a total of 24 times.
7.
The whole exercise is that one leg is as straight in the air as you can keep it, while you reach up and touch it with as little grabs up your leg as possible.
Also keep that bent leg as close to your butt as possible.
Variations: In order to make this exercise even harder and get better, faster results, you are going to want to reach straight up and touch your toes using the tightening of your abdominal muscles, instead of using your hands to pull yourself up your leg and touch your toes.
This will work your abs extremely harder as opposed to using your hands to relieve the tension from your abdominals.
But, with this variation you are doing three powerful things to get you faster results: 1) You are working MUCH harder and requiring your body to put forth more energy, which in turn causes you to sweat more and burn more calories (extra unwanted fat).
2) You are strengthening and toning your abdominals much harder and faster because you are putting ALL of the stress on your abdominal muscles to get you to reach up and touch your toes.
3) Because this variation is tough, it requires you to develop a strong will and mindset to get you to accomplish this exercise.
A strong will and mindset will get you through any exercise and cause you to work harder to getting chiseled, six pack abs.
