Most Versatile Ab Exercise Ever! (6 PACK ABS)

ATHLEAN-X on instagram here - There are literally hundreds if not thousands of ab exercises to choose from but the one shown here is possibly the most versatile. This does much more than just hit your abs and help you carve up a six pack. In fact, it has far reaching benefits that help you to stretch out your lower back and hamstrings while decompressing your spine as well. In this video, I show you the most multi-purpose ab exercise that you can do that has roots in Pilates. This is one of those moves that belongs in your ab workouts but often times gets overlooked. Some think that anything Pilates based is too easy or not intense enough to fit into their ab routine. That is a major ab training mistake. In fact, without the ability to maximally activate your transverse abdominus you are going to struggle to perform pretty much every other ab exercise. So not only is this one of the most important that you can do but it is going to improve your ability to do the rest of the exercises in your ab workouts. One of the main benefits of this ab exercise is the ability to help you stretch your lower back and hamstrings. That said, you need to understand how to change the position of your pelvis during the move to ensure you hit both areas. As you perform the move you will do it with a posteriorly rotated pelvis. At the top this will stretch out your lower back and your hamstrings to a much smaller degree. To shift the focus to the hamstrings, move from a posterior tilt to an anterior tilt and the stretch will be greatly intensified. Shift back to the posterior tilt and lower back down to the floor to begin another rep. The key to performing this ab exercise correctly is to make sure you are literally trying to paint your spine back to the ground one segment at a time. By doing this, you are going to gain more control of your core while strengthening it. This will also teach you how to breathe and contract properly. As covered in a previous video on bloated abs you want to make sure that as you exhale you are cinching down your stomach by contracting the transverse abdominus. This means your stomach should never push out even though you are blowing out. Your stomach should get tighter and smaller as you breathe out and contract your abs. This exercise will ensure you do this right. For over 100 ab exercises that hit your core from every angle and help you to build a ripped six pack, be sure to head to and get the ATHLEAN-X Training System. Start training like an athlete and you will look like an athlete in the next 90 days

Swimming. Can you give those of us who spend time in the pool training and the gym for all round fitness, your thoughts and advice. How much are we burning? What muscles are we using and what to train in the gym that won't have a negative impact in the pool. Balance between the two is tricky. I also think that years of club swimming front crawl has given me bad posture. Possible hyper extension from the reach forward leads to a weak scapula and twisted rotator cuffs. Your videos on posture and training the scapula has helped me alot lately. Improved pull up technique and even chest workouts have had a breakthrough. Cheers.

I am doing the AX1 and love it. I am 300lbs, starting phase 1 for the 3rd time, want to make sure I am getting the best I can before moving up. I am seeing great gains in muscle development, people can see the difference your program has made. but the one part of my body that I. having the most problem with is my HUGE belly. I know diet is a large part of what got me here and will be a large part of getting rid of it. But, how do I help with the sagging skin. that is my biggest fear. what can I do to work, yes WORK on my abs to help with belly fat loss and control the amount of left over skin.
thanks.

I tore my labrum too but had surgery in the middle of February and gained about 15-20 pounds by doing nothing. Well, I came right off of wrestling season so it was actually about 10 pounds above my normal weight but anyway I've been watching your videos to plan for when I'm 100% fine with my shoulder. I wrestle so that's the only reason I got the surgery because I still have 2 more years. Unless the labrum will stop you from doing something then I suggest not having the surgery

I hope you can help.

cool man, hey i'm not sure if you have already covered but can you cover 'anterior serratus' and its relationship to scapular stability etc. Also one thing i don't think i have seen you cover is dumbbell pullovers, which are a great old school exercise. But thank you for posting all of your videos, i have learnt a ton: )
reply

Hey jeff, whenever I'm doing ab work like the example here, i have a really hard time keeping my legs/feet on the floor, and it makes my hips very uncomfortable and awkward feeling. If i use a dumbell to keep my feet down is that cheating part of the excercise? What are some alternatives?
reply

The ancients understood the importance of exhaling as you bring the head towards the knees, and inhalation when opening the body. Thanks for pointing iit out. Can't be emphasized too much. Enjoy your vids, but would like to see more smiling. Passions are our enjoyments. Thanks again.

Jeff can you do a video on meal planning? Like a video kinda showing what an average day for you would be like or how many calories you go for? I am trying to find a meal plan schedule and I can't anywhere. I think that's the main problem for me at the minute.

I'm currently rehabbing (not thru a facility) from a herniated disc (L5S1) and I can now actually stretch and touch my toes. I want to start core work, but don't know where to start. Any suggestions? Some core workouts with this injury in mind would be helpful. Thanks
reply

Hi Jeff, isn't this considered Reciprocal Inhibition? i thought the only way to decompress your spine is hanging upside-down and/or on a decompressing table. Please elaborate or am i completely wrong? Thank you for your time.
Sincerely, Carlos Guillen
