Routines > Abdominal Defining Routine 
  
 
Since a stronger core supports your spine, you can lift more weight in every exercise. Research also shows that stronger abdominal core muscles mean fewer lower back injuries as you age, not to mention better posture. Finally, who can argue with the great look and feel of having ripped abs?

The following routine helps you accomplish just that. Prior to performing the listed exercises though, remember to warm up for 3-5 minutes, at a relatively easy pace. Follow this up with a minute of running or cycling at your highest pace and rest for another minute prior to starting the routine.

The following list attempts to attack your abdominal muscles from different directions to continuously stimulate them. With time, substitute new exercises in from the list this site provides to prevent your body from growing accustomed.
