Hanging Knee Raises
Grasp the handles overhead and hang fully or support
yourself on your elbows of an ab raise bench with
your back against the pad. Elevate your knees
upwards as if to do a hanging crunch. You can also
elevate your legs while keeping them straight or
rotate your body to do a twisted crunch in order to
work your obliques. This exercise is great for the
lowers abs, although it will also work the entire
abdominal region.
Cable Wood Chops
Attach a handle to the top setting of an adjustable
cable machine. Stand next to the machine with your
feet shoulder-width apart. Extend your arms upward
and grab the handle with both hands above one
shoulder. With your arms fully extended, pull the
handle down and across your body to the opposite
side. Allow your hips and torso to rotate, and keep a
slight bend in your knees. Slowly reverse the move-
ment to return to the starting position. Repeat on
both sides. This exercise is great for hitting your
obliques.
Ab Roll Outs
Hold the ab roller with both
hands and kneel on the floor.
Place the ab roller on the floor
in front of you. Slowly roll the
ab roller straight forward,
stretching your body into
a straight position. Go down
as far as you can without
touching the floor with your
body. After a pause at the
stretched position, start
pulling yourself back to the
starting position. This is a
great exercise to work the
whole of your abs.
