New member - not sure about abs exercises

[ste1200]

Hi, I've been going to the gym since the beginning of this year, but I've always not been sure of what exercises to do regarding my abs. Currently I do the following:

Day 1

2 x 20 flat bench pull ins
3 x 10 radial torso machine (55kg)
2 x 20 flat bench crunches
2 x 10 flat bench lying leg raise

Day 2

2 x 20 Knee/Hip Raise On Parallel Bars
3 x 10 - not sure of name - you lie facing foward on a bench at 30 degrees and bend forward from the waist with hands behind head.
3 x 10 side bends
2 x 20 flat bench crunches
2 x 10 flat bench lying leg raise

I normally go to the gym every other day and sometimes do crunches on my exercise ball at home in between.

I have seen a bit of improvement but not alot. As I say, I'm not really sure what I should be doing, can anybody help please ?

Thanks
Ste

Hi there, In my own training to keep my body fat low I tend do circuit training that incorporates the core in my workout. Power exercsises, cardio and core exercises will keep your body fat low or reduce it and show your abs. I do this workout often and it is great for my physique

Thanks,
