As an alternative to the everyday ab exercise routines that we see frequently with crunches, situps, leg lifts, etc, there are better options for metabolism-boosting high intensity workouts that work the entire body while also working the abs.

I'm going to show you an example in the present day of one of my favorite ab workouts that doesn't incorporate any direct ab routines at all. It's in a tri-set format (similar to a super-set but alternating between 3 workouts).

Here goes:

1a. Renegade Dumbbell Rows

1b. Front Squats with Barbell

1c. Mountain Climbers on Floor

A good rep format to utilize with this may be 3-4 sets of 8 reps for each exercise, or more sets for much less reps, such as 5 sets of 5 reps of every routine. Mountain climbers may be done for a time interval (such as 30 seconds) instead of "reps".

Renegade dumbbell rows are done starting with a pushup position with the hands on 2 dumbbells. You then row one dumbbell up while stabilizing your body with another arm. Bring the dumbbell back to the bottom and swap the rowing arm while stabilizing with the opposite arm. This stabilizing effect through the rows generates incredible work for your entire midsection core area. Trust me, you'll really feel it in the abs!

Front squats are executed much like back squats, however with the barbell in front of your body on the front of your shoulders instead of resting on the upper back like in back squats. You stabilize the barbell on your shoulders by crossing your arms and pushing your fists into the bar against your shoulders while keeping your elbows out in front of the body. This takes just a little practice in the beginning, therefore you will want to seek an expert coach at your gym to help you with the form. Front squats require tremendous stabilization power from the abs because of the barbell weight being shifted to the front of the body instead of the back. Even though this is mostly a leg workout, you'll feel this one in the abs big time!

Mountain climbers are executed by beginning in a pushup stance and then shuffling your feet in and out so that your knees are moving in under your chest and then back out to the starting position. It sort of resembles climbing a mountain but flat on the floor. If you want an advanced version, you can even shuffle your arms 8-10 inches forward and backward along with the leg movements. This really makes it a full body exercise and MUCH harder than standard mountain climbers.

After finishing every routine, take it easy for about 30 seconds before starting the next workout. Take it easy for about 1-2 minutes after completing each "tri-set" before repeating.

This gives you the most effective ab workouts you've ever had without even completing any direct ab exercises. You'll see what I mean after you try it!
