WORLD'S BEST AB EXERCISE

We're always on the hunt for the best ab exercise, the one that will give us the flat tummy we've always dreamt about. Could this be it? American Sports Council have named the Captain's Chair the most effective ab exercise since it hits the ab muscles from all around. The best part is, you can do it while sitting in your chair at work.

The way to do a correct Captain's Chair:

- Sit in a chair high enough where your feet come off the ground when flexed.
- Sit on your hands.
- Put your body weight onto your hands (as if you're about to lift yourself up off the chair).
- Lift your thighs at least 6-8cm (2-3 inches) from the chair. Hold! Then lower them down again SLOWLY and controlled. Repeat for at least one minute.

You won't get a flat tummy just by doing this exercise, but it will tighten and strengthen your core muscles and it's a good complement to other ab exercises. Cardio is the key to losing fat on your body. I, myself, like running, but find anything that gets your heart rate up to 85% of your max pulse and just go mad with it.
