Standing Abs Exercises

Not only are these some standing exercises to do with your abs but they will actually work. You will actually see results from these as opposed to sit ups and crunches. That's because sit ups and crunches don't burn enough calories to make a difference.

Let's look at it closer. To lose a single pound of fat you need to burn 3,500 calories. The average person only burns 2,000 calories in an entire day. So you can see how little typical ab exercises do. The exercises I'm going to tell you about however will burn as many as 20 calories a minute! The only thing that comes close to that is cross country skiing up hill.

You are going to use a kettle bell to do these exercises. This is the best device in the gym for building strength, endurance, stamina oh, and burning fat. Here you go.

1. Towel Swings. Thread a very sturdy towel through a KB then start swinging the KB around your head in one direction. Stop switch directions, repeat. This exercise can be done standing up or in the squat position as well.
2. Hook swings. Holding a KB by the handle in your hands at your belt line then simply swing from one side to the other.
3. Overhead rotations. Shoulder press 2 KBs over head and lock your arms out. Now twist at the waist from one side to the other.
4. Rotations with knee raises. Instead of pressing the KBs above your head you will hold them at chest level. As you twist at the waist from one section to another raise your knees to your elbows.
