What you should understand is that no one type of exercise will continue to produce results for an extended period of time. For example if you are working your core using an unstable ball you will notice after a period of time that you’re not seeing any improvement in your body. The simple reason for this is that your body adapts to your exercise conditions and will not budge until you change your exercise routine.
The Right Abdominal Workout Program..
Your ab workouts should progress from your body being on an unstable surface so that all the core muscles can feel the full effect. Your core muscle are the main muscle to focus on when doing any exercise that targets your abdominal. This will allow the abdominal muscles to contract and relax to get the six pack abs you desire.
Stretching Is Very Important in your ab workouts..
You should also get a full stretch during the eccentric phase of your ab exercises. You don’t need to come all the way up but you must ensure that you crunch in your upper abs into your lower abs in each repetition to get the full burn and development.
Working The Lower Abs..
To laser target the lower abs section, a good exercise would be to lay on your back and perform leg raises. Another would be to also lay on your back but instead of doing raises you would keep your feet at about 45 degrees from the floor and hold it there.
Melt Your Middle
Follow this interval-training program three times a week after your core workout. It'll fire up your metabolism and burn off the fat that's hiding your abs. Intervals are short bursts of maximum-intensity effort—you're doing it right if you can't carry on a conversation—separated by periods of easy-pace recovery. In an Australian study, women who cranked out high-intensity interval training three days a week for 15 weeks dropped significantly more weight than those who exercised for the same period of time at a lower intensity.
For this interval workout, remember to include an easy 3- to 5-minute warmup and cooldown. You can run, bike, or use the cardio machine of your choice.
