If I ask you to come up with some ab exercises, I can bet that some of the exercises that come to your mind would be ab crunches, sit-ups, leg lifts.  I must admit, before I learnt about the following exercises, I would have said the same thing, however, I can tell you that the exercises that I am about to discuss is leaps ahead of the previously mentioned workouts.  These high intensity metabolism boosting workouts work your entire body and it also works your abs as well.

These workouts although do not seem to be focused on the stomach are some of my best workouts for the stomach.  These three exercises also called the tri-set, can be done in different sequence.  The three best ab exercises that are not directly focused on the stomach are as follows:

a) Renegade Dumbbell Rows
b) Front Squats With Barbell
c) Mountain Climbers On Floor

These non conventional ab exercises are some of my most effective exercises for your abs.

To make your workouts more interesting, change up your reps and sets.  As an example you can do 3 to 4 sets of 8 reps for each exercise, or do 5 sets of 5 reps of each exercise.  As for the mountain climbers exercise (explained further down), it can be done with time intervals of 30 seconds instead of reps.

Let’s begin:

a) Renegade dumbbell Rows
This exercise begins with you in a push-up position while having a dumbbell in each hand.  To perform this exercise, you would alternately row one dumbbell at a time while making sure the other arm keeps you in balance.  This renegade dumbbell row exercise promotes balance which comes from the core and ultimately gives you an amazing ab workout.  Trust me, you will be amazed at how much this exercise works your abdominal area.

b) Front Squats With Barbell
This exercise is done with the barbell on the front of your shoulders as oppose to being in the back.  To make sure that you have the barbell in control, have your arms crossed in front of you cradling the barbell.  This is done by keeping your elbows parallel to the ground in front of you.  To be safe make sure you have a professional trainer spot you for the first couple of times performing this exercise.  Core strength and stability is required to do this exercise and hence it is a great stomach workout.  For the inexperienced, this workout would look like a leg workout however, after you complete with your reps, you will notice how much ab muscle is required to performing this workout.

c) Mountain Climbers On Floor
With this workout, you will also start in a push-up position with wide stance.  Next, you would shuffle you feet (one at a time), in towards your chest and back out, imagine yourself climbing a ladder.  The action to this exercise is also very similar to a person climbing a mountain.  To add challenge to this workout, move your hands back and for opposite to your legs.  The mountain climber exercise is an intense full body workout that in the end produce great abs along the way.

To keep the intensity of the workout, a rest period between the exercise should not be more than 30 seconds.  Rest for no longer than 2 minutes after completing each set of the ‘tri-set’ exercise and then repeat the whole workout.
