The most famous, and probably the least popular, of the abs exercises is the sit up. Fortunately, you don’t have to do sit ups to have great abs. There are literally dozens of other abs exercises that you can utilize in getting your abs into shape. All you need to do is to get out there and do the exercises.

One of the best abs exercises is the bicycle. No, it’s not about getting on a bicycle, instead it is performed by laying flat on your back. Put your heads behind your head and then with your legs at a 45 degree angle, begin pedaling by pulling one of your legs towards your chest while tilting your body towards the leg you are pulling towards your chest. Just keep alternating legs until you have achieved the number of reps you are trying to complete.

Another great abs exercise is the full vertical crunch. It’s a highly effective exercise that can help you get the firm abs you are looking for. You perform this exercise by laying flat on your back. Next, extend your legs towards the ceiling. Put your hands behind your head and attempt to raise your shoulder blades off of the floor using only your abdominal muscles. At the same time, you’ll be moving your heels towards the ceiling so that your body resembles a U.

There are many other great abs exercises, but if you can start off by utilizing these two abs exercises then you are well suited for more abs exercises and are well onto your way to six pack abs.
