Now, don’t get me wrong- I am a huge fan of sit ups.

There is a definite reason why the majority of ab exercises out there are compared to sit ups. They are helpful and very beneficial, however, they are limiting.

Sit ups are a great exercise for one very specific group of your abdominal muscles. Needless to say, there are ab exercises that are a lot more efficient and offer a lot more bang for your buck.

Today I am sharing six of these exercises as a complete abdominal shredded workout.

Hope you enjoy.
