Medicine balls, crunches, exercise balls….name any of it! Most of these things are considered important, by countless individuals, when abdominal exercises for women are concerned.

Nevertheless, the thing which most people fail to let you know is the fact that you have to lose all the fat around your abs region in order for you to get a flat stomach or even a visible six pack. Abdominal exercises for women helps strengthen a woman's abdominal muscles but it can never be enough, on its own, to take out belly fat.

Other than tell you of a number of decent abdominal exercises for women, I will tell you how it is that you can burn the fat quicker around your abdominal region. So let us begin with a few proven abdominal exercises. Here they are:

Upper Abs:

•Crunches

•Crunches using an exercise ball to lean your legs on

•Fingers to toes Ab Crunches

Lower Abs (Note that lower ab exercises are vital for acquiring a totally developed core):

•Decline Ab Crunches

•Abdominal Leg Pull-ins using a bench

•Hanging Ab Leg Raises

•Medicine Ball Leg Raises

•Reverse ab Crunches

Oblique/Side Abs:

•Fingers to heel touchers

•Oblique/Side Crunches

•Lying Oblique Leg Raises

•Oblique Decline Crunches

Remember to take into account that these are effective abdominal exercises for women and should be done after cardio workouts such as jogging. But I will touch up on that later on. These core workouts have proven to work when strengthening your abdominals.

Burn Fat and Burn it Fast

Simple! How does a person get fat in the first place? Over eating, Lack of exercise, etc. you just need to do the opposite process of getting fat. Your diet is the most important factor in burning or acquiring body fat. There are other, more physically active alternatives, like cardio exercises mentioned above.

Here are a few that really burn the fat:

•HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training)

•Interval Training

•Circuit Training

•Running/Jogging/Rowing Machine/Elliptical Trainer/Exercise Bike

I'd recommend you to do these cardio workouts before doing your core exercises. Put in a good diet plan to your routines and you will be noticing changes in no time! Be sure to train at least three days a week making sure that you manage to complete each core workout within the week.

If you don't feel you are able to add in a healthy diet plan then all your physical training would be a waste because you won't be getting the results you really desire. You might be in the best shape (not in appearance) within a couple of months but you can never out exercise a bad diet.
