First, let me start by telling you that doing a bunch of crunches is useless. Don’t waste your time. Plus, done incorrectly (which they almost always are) they can hurt your lower back. So what do I recommend? Well, squats, deadlifts and other total body exercises are very good ab exercises. But in terms of isolated exercises, 1 of my favorites is hanging leg raises. They are tough and they work well without any stress on your lower back.
Start by hanging from a pullup bar and slowly raise your legs until they are straight out so that your body is in an L shape. Slowly lower your legs until they are straight down again. It usually helps to bend you knees slightly so you don’t swing as you do them. Try for 5 sets of 10-12 reps. Like I have said before, though, if your abs are covered by fat, you can do all the ab exercise in the world and still not see them. Diet is equally important in the 6 pack quest!
