WHAT IS UR FAVOURITE AB EXERCISE

I like to find out what u guys do for ur Abs and whats ur fav Ab exercise im always asked how did i build my Abs, and so i would like to know what u enjoy,  and what u feel works for you. L x

V-Sits using a plate or medicine ball. That's the exercise my clients hate the most anyway!
 
I don't actually train my Abs - I tend to find if I keep my core engaged enough it seems to be enough to bring them through.

I can see why ur clients hate it lol my ladies hate this and many of my other ab exercises lol

I think heavy squats work my abs/ core the most, but if it's an actual abs exercise your asking about, I enjoy the challenge of Pikes with my feet on the stability ball

Pikes on a stability ball is excellent for advanced trainers and something to work toward for beginners

Knee tucks are a great start for beginners, they can then progress to pikes on the ball if their wrists can handle the bodyweight and quads can handle the burn from the top position!

Try knee with suspension trainers, my customers hate those
 
Personally I like hanging leg raises, probably cos I'm the only one who does them in my gym everyone else uses their forearms to rest on.

@ Kitty i think they are good but i use ab slings also but both do the same i just prefer not to hold the bar.

Heavy cable crunches are my fav, low reps.

Straight forward Pilates exercises - as I am limited to what I can do with abs.
 

Just a good decent crunch for me and as said engaging core to my bestest in ALL excercises.

I don't have a favourite one, I do 'em all, whatever ones I see in the mags that I read, random ones I get from the net...aneeeeeeeething that might help me...I have never actually seen my abs, and I know it's the "kitchen and food" thing....that does it, but I'm hoping that mebbe one ab will show at some point between now and death!!...lol.....
 
by the way, I saw your pics in Beef mag, you look utterly lovely....would come to your classes but I'm to farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr south for ya....

ooooh abs let me think.. I will have to say Pilates exercises as you engage the core on every single rep!!  also, I do like crunches with shoulders off bench and hanging leg raises...just for a change lol!

Jack knives on swiss ball, think I've never seen anyone else do them but me. Hanging oblique side-raises. Knees ins that can be done anywhere. I do also use planks occasionally but believe when I use swimming for cardio (which is twice a week hopefully) I'm in a constant plank position.
