Exercise to Get Sexy Six Pack Abs For Both Men and Women

There are a multitude of resistance workouts that have been known to develop a number of different body parts in terms of muscle. Bicep curls and lateral presses develop muscles located at the upper part of the body.

As it would follow, there are also a number of workout routines meant to develop one's abdominal muscles. These are the exercises that give men and women the sexy abs that they proudly show to everyone.

One exercise that has been proven to work for a great number of people yearning for that sexy, trim stomach would be what is called the plank:

1. Lie face down on the floor, with your elbows on the ground and your shoulders parallel to them.

2. Position your legs along the length of your body, in the same way they would be when you do pushups.

3. Hold this position for a few seconds, making sure your entire body does not touch the
ground. Make sure to keep your entire body in a perfectly diagonal position - something resembling a plank. As you do so, you will notice that your abdominal muscles will begin to contract, as you keep yourself steady.

4. The objective would be to hold this position for a total of two minutes. You can

Intensify this workout by lifting up one foot off the ground by about an inch or two.

5. The entire exercise will need about three or more times.

This routine will eventually help tone those ab muscles, and also help develop other muscle groups, such as those located on the back.
