Advice on Ab exercises

There's also an exercise called the "mason twist."

You lift your legs and upper body off the ground so you're balancing on your butt. Your body should form a "V".

Then you make a fist and twist your body to make contact with the floor everytime.

I like it. There's also the good 'ol flutter kicks. Lay on your back, lift 1 leg about 6 inches off the ground and lift the other to about a 45 degree angle. Then "Kick" in a slow count. I like to grease the groove with the flutter kicks and mason twists. About 50 each every hour for 7 hours.

(50+50) x 7 = 700 core movements every day.

6 Days a week: 700 x 6 = 4200 movements a week. That'll get ya jacked.
 
I'm still in school. I get home around 2:50 so I have lots of time to GTG.

I could do it at school, but it would be weird if I just dropped by my locker and started doing ab exercises.

I average about 7 hours. Somedays I don't get home until 4, and some days I get home normal time and stay up until 11 or 12.

I would personally throw in some hanging leg raises as well as the plank and side plank...and dont forget to work your lower back.

I do 3 back exercises once a week in my routine and do abs 3 times a week after my sessions.

Should I do Weighted 45-degree Hyperextension more often with abs?
 
I primarily stick with stability work for the majority of my ab training which consists of things like Pallof Presses and Planks.

What is your goal with these, ab exercises? This may seem like a rather stupid question to some, but there are some that still think that busting their balls on ab exercises somehow transforms their body in revealing rock hard busten' abs. When its the diet construction (and genetics) that reveals the work completed.

What is your diet circumference like?

I care not about having abs to be seen.
I play basketball and im very keen to get a more stable core so I can stand my ground in certain game situations.
 
It is proven that for ab work and anything core, it is best to do Isometric exercises, I have a little more info on my blog. But things like planks work the abs better than crunches and dynamic exercises.

Anoop, I've read your blog for a while now. You do a great job for your target audience, so props.

With regards to the article you posted about core work, I was surprised you didn't mention anything about isometric/endurance type work for the core.

Thoughts?
