im new to working out, so do you guys know any good ab routines, or do any of these ab machines on the market actualy work. seem to good to be true

If you are reffering to ab machines thats on tv-shop and stuff like that, dont bother.

Planks
Hanging leg raises
Renegade Rows (love thisone)
ab rollouts

those are some good ab exersices. Remember, the abs 1. job is stability, you should train them for that. If you are in a sport where rotation is involved, you should train them for that too.

But always remember that the abs are worked good during squats and deadlifts and other big heavy compound movements (which SHOULD be in you're routine)

Good looking abdominal muscles rely more on your total body fat than on the exersizes your choose. You can do leg raises, pikes, and weighted crunches until you vomit, but without a reduction in bodyfat you will simply be spinning your wheels. This being said, focus on your ENTIRE body at the current time. Start with a resistance training routine filled with compound movements, and work at getting stronger in the 8-12 rep range. Combine the routine with a clean diet and you should be on your way to an improved midsection.
