So what is the best exercise for great abs?
- mintyDijon 4y agoFlags are awesome. Dragon flag https://greatist.com/fitness/dragon-flag https://greatist.com/fitness/dragon-flag Human flag https://www.onnit.com/academy/so-you-want-to-do-a-human-flag/ https://www.onnit.com/academy/so-you-want-to-do-a-human-flag... But there are tons of great abdominal exercises, all with different benefits depending on your goals. The sit up is such a specific motion, that it really has very limited benefits. Stabilization type exercises will benefit more. Some exercises will help with core strength alot, without being directly "ab" exercises. Heavy weighted squats are a great example of this. If your goals are only to get a 6pack then you don't need ab exercises as much as you need a very disciplined diet supplemented with lots of cardio.
- casefields 4y agoI would like to add that these are quite difficult unless you have a baseline of some athleticism. If you’re just getting into fitness these are going to be too hard. For 6 packs, good diet and being lean/athletic is all you need.

- danenania 4y agoAb rollers are good. Start kneeling then progress to standing. Also hanging knee lifts, leg lifts, and l-sits. L-sit pull-ups are great for time efficiency. Those are mainly what I do for core these days, along with some squats/deadlifts, and it seems to be enough to maintain pretty strong abs.

- makeset 4y agoFork put-downs and table push-aways.
