However, getting rid of belly fat is not only important so to look good at the lake house, it's a vital health aspect to ensure you live a long and healthy life!

Women are always on the go in today's world and many simply don't have adequate time for an exercise program. Lets also not forget to mention working moms who are even busier! Another cause of belly fat might be from consuming fast food/junk food, or alcoholic beverages. Not to worry, here is a brief guide on the top ab workouts for women that will absolutely help you successfully eliminate your belly fat and give you incredible abs:

Cable Crunch - if you're a newbie, then it's a really great exercise to start your ab routine with. Keep in mind that likely you can't perform this exercise in your home because it requires a weight stack and cable machine. Nevertheless, the exercise is very simple and straightforward though. You'll attach the metal cable to the weight stack (remember - don't put too much weight on the stack, rather start adding more weight regularly) and grasp the cable handle behind your head and sit on your knees and start pulling the cable while focusing on a quality ab crunch. Initially, you can start with 2-3 sets of 15-25 reps.

Hanging Knee Raise - another great exercise for your daily workout regime. It can give you a complete exercise for your lower abs. To complete the exercise, you don't need any equipment! Just hang from anything that can hold your weight (something sturdy like a pull up bar). Keep your legs together, grasp the pull up bar behind your head and start to pull your knees up. To add a variation to the exercise, simply spread your grip a little wider and feel the burn! You can start this exercise with 2-3 sets of 10-20 reps.

Dumbbell Side Bends - initially you'll find this exercise much easier than the hanging knee raise or any other exercise. But believe it or not - it's really a powerful exercise that perfectly shapes your tummy. It's really simple to perform. Grasp a dumbbell firmly in one hand, while keeping the dumbbell parallel to the ground bend at the waist to the same side as the hand with the dumbbell. This will strengthen your oblique muscles. Try doing 3 sets of 18 reps with each side.

Crunch - this is the key exercise for any ab workout plan. There are a number of variations that are commonly used by body builders and fitness instructors across the globe. Some of most popular and widely used variations of this exercise are - arms crossed crunch, arms down crunch, crunch up, incline crunch, incline arms down crunch and many others. However, among all of these variations - arms crossed, arms down, and incline crunch are the favorite of many bodybuilders.

Well, there are four awesome exercises to help you get sexy abs that you can start today! Doing these exercises 3 times every week is guaranteed to begin to chip away at belly fat and reveal your sexy abs within. Before beginning any exercise program we highly suggest consulting with your doctor or fitness trainer to ensure you're healthy enough to perform these exercises.
