Ab Exercise Tips

Which ab exercises will work the very middle of the abs?

Hermione G asked:


I do a variety of ab work but I want to work the area right where the belly button is.
Also, do the exercise people on TV have ripped abs from doing the ab work that they do on their shows? OR, do they use heavier weights to get the abs to develop?
What are some good ways to work the abs using the heavier weights? I’m finding that the regular variations on the crunches and stuff is not doing it even though I do a lot of cardio too.
Thanks.

   Yea I feel ya on that!

   for exercise do this:

   You will do this Mon, Wed, Fri. Lay something on ground like a beach towel or something (mat) right on the foot of your bed. On your bed, you will start off with 20 knee ups (google this). After that, get on the floor immediately and do 20 leg raises. Take a 15 second rest. Now do 20 reverse crunches, 20 leg on the bed crunches and 20 hip thrusts (google these if needed). Rest 15 seconds again after those. Now do 20 cross crunches (10 each side), 20 reach and touch touches (10 each side), and finish it off with 20 cross leg reverse crunches (10 each side). Now take a 3-4 min break and do this cycle again 2 more times.
   Now after this cycle, you will lay flat on the mat on your back. Get two dumbbells (8lbs each arm). Raise them straight up over. Now bend your elbows bringing the weights right over your forehead at 90 degrees. Then straighten them back out. You will have done a dumbbell tricep extension. Now After doing that, while holding the weights up over your head, lift your torso up of the ground (shoulders off the ground) while at the same time lifting each leg up one at a time doing a “sicorrs movement” and back down. Repeat this whole entire movement 15 times and do 3 sets of these with 10 second rests in between each set. That’s pretty much it. AS for Tues, Thurs, Sat, you can do cardio which is running or cycling.Best of luck!
