You do not need to obsess on the latest abs exercises trainers invented to keep people interested. If you like to, well, go ahead, but sometimes the best workouts are the easiest workouts. Here are some things you need to remember when you work your abs:--

Target each abdominal muscle group--
 Your "abs" are not a single muscle - they are made up of several groups of muscles that work together to help with everything from breathing and posture of bending, twisting and, well, really every move you make. It is important that when you do ab work, you target each group of muscles that make up your core. Mix up your routine so that you are including torsion, extension and static bending exercises, so you hit your rectus abdominis, internal and external obliques, transverse abdominal and spinal.

Does not always save the ab work at the end--
 This is a fairly common practice to save abdominal exercises to the end of a workout routine, after conducting training cardio strength or other exercises. Although there is nothing wrong with this practice openly, it is a good idea to mix from time to time and add your ab work at the beginning of your program or between sets of other exercises. In this way, you will not be as tired when you target your heart that you will really focus on proper form and strengthening abdominal strength.

 Add weight--
 If you want strong abs, you need to add weight to your exercises! Your abdominal muscles are just like your quadriceps, hamstrings and biceps, and they respond to strength training in the same way ... they grow.. This does not mean that you have out-of-control-abs huge, it just means that you have a better chance to improve definition in your heart. So take dumbbells, weight plate or medicine balls to boost your routine. Just remember, the form is more important than the number of exercises you can do! If you find yourself becoming tired after you add weight to an exercise, go ahead and do fewer repetitions, just slow down and make sure they are done correctly.

 Target your abs at least a few days a week--
you can actually help strengthen and tone your heart and stay focused on posture at all times, especially when other exercises. For example, if you are a runner, make sure to keep your abs pulled in toward your spine while you run. If you love to hit the weights, make sure you engage your abs and core during every exercise you perform. Without even realizing it, your abs are still working, so staying focused on your abs, you can help prevent injury and improve your overall performance.
