Conventional wisdom generally holds that direct abb workouts, for example situps, leg lifts, and crunches, make the best abb workouts.

But you can achieve even better results with high power, full-body workouts that increase your metabolism whilst working your abs.

Listed are a few great abb workouts that does not involve direct ab exercises. The workout is like a super-set, but you alternate between 3 exercises in a tri-state format.

You may use reps of 3-4 sets of eight reps for every one of the exercises. It's also effective to use 5 sets of 5 reps of each exercise. You can do the mountain climbers for thirty seconds instead of reps.

Renegade dumbbell rows - start in a pushup position with a dumbell in each hand. While you stabilize your body with one arm, row one dumbbell up. Then you should bring the dumbbell to the ground.

Stabilize with your opposite arm whilst you alternate your rowing arm. As you stabilize during rows, your abs will get a excellent workout, and you can definitely feel it in your abs.

Front squats - you can do these just like back squats, except you'll put the barbell on the front of your shoulders before your body, and not rest them on your higher backs as you do in back squats.

To stabilize the barbell on your shoulders, keep your elbows out in front of your body and cross your arms; then push your fists into the bar against your shoulders. You may have to practice this. It's crucial to have a gym tutor help you get the form right.

You will also find you want great stabilization strength for front squats because you're shifting the barbell weight to the front of your body and not the back.

This is generally a leg exercise, but you will be shocked how much you're feeling it in your abs.


Mountain climbers - begin in a pushup position and shuffle your feet in and out to make your knees move first under your chest and then out to your starting position. You may feel like you're climbing a mountain, but it's really flat on the floor.

If you are brave, shuffle your hands backward and forward 10 inches whilst you are doing your leg movements.

This can give you a full body exercise, and you will find that it's a lot tougher than using regular mountain climbers.

As you complete each exercise, make efforts to rest for almost half a minute before beginning the subsequent one. Also, remember to rest for about one to 2 mins after completing each tri-set before you repeat. You're going to find that these indirect exercises give you the best abb workouts. And you're not doing any direct ab exercises. Try it yourself!
