We were having this discussion on the TT Facebook page yesterday...
"What are your favorite ab exercises?"
My current favorite is the "kneeling strap extension" that can be done with a TRX
or rings or Jungle Gym XT.
Daniel Woodrum, a Certified Turbulence Trainer from Taylors, South Carolina, said, "It's
hard to beat the Chin-up/knee up combo."
And I agree. For a while back in 2009 that was my favorite ab exercise.
If you want follow-along ab workout videos, here's the NEWEST ab workout solution:
=> Online Ab Workout Videos <= NO crunches or sit-ups
If you don't have straps to do the kneeling extensions, you can also do:
- Ab Wheel Rollout
- Stability Ball Rollout
- Barbell Rollout
- Stability Ball "Stir-the-Pot"
- Stability Ball Plank
- Stability Ball Plank Rollout
- Stability Ball Jackknife
- Stability Ball Pike
And if you do have a TRX, you can do:
- TRX Jackknife (alternating legs is a good version)
- TRX Pike
- TRX Atomic Pushup
- TRX X-Body Mountain Climbers
- TRX Oblique Tuck Circles
Some of the ab exercises mentioned today are in
I also have another piece of cool equipment called the Power Wheel,
and you can use it for:
- Powerwheel Pikes
- Powerwheel Jackknives
- Powerwheel Rollouts
- Powerwheel Diagonal Rollouts
- Powerwheel Crawls (see how far you can get - an ultimate upper body/abs challenge)
So many ways to train your abs without sit-ups and crunches.
By the way, I was a special guest at a fitness & bootcamp seminar last Friday and a
personal trainer said to me, "My clients keep getting sore necks from situps and crunches,
what should I do?"
Frankly I was shocked trainers still have their clients do those moves, but now with this
workout list, he has dozens of exercises that won't cause neck pain.
He could also study these online ab workout videos as well.
There is just no need for situps and crunches in our workouts,

PS - We're also having a raging debate...
...over on the TT Facebook page about replacements for diet coke,
and the truth about healthy sweeteners.
Have your say over here:
There seems to be two types of people.
1) People who have really cool ideas to replace diet coke.
2) People who think a drop of artificial sweeteners will kill them.
Which one are you? Have your say over on my FB page.
