Sleek, chiseled abs are one of the sexiest features on the human body. Millions of people seek the perfect set of abs but few ever actually reach that level of muscle definition. Most people that want to try to get their abs toned and in shape fail to have the follow-through and perseverance necessary to succeed. To be absolutely honest, getting rock hard abs is really hard to do if you don't know what you're doing. There are easy ab workouts out there that can get you to your goal, but if you aren't willing to dedicate 15 minutes each day to an exercise schedule, you'll never get there.

In this article we'll discuss some very easy ab exercises that you can do to get those summer-ready abs. Yes, with the proper workouts, you can definitely get that coveted, stunning six pack.

You probably remember those crunches from high school gym class but do you still do them? Crunches should be a key part of anyone's ab exercise routine. One of the most versatile workouts out there, crunches and sit ups can be modified and adjusted to work different parts of your abs and also keep the challenge level up. If you want to make that 6 pack you have to make sure you're always challenging yourself. If you can breeze through your workout without breaking a sweat--you're doing it wrong!

If you are a beginner to exercising, start with the basic on-the-floor crunches. Watch the video if you aren't sure how to do crunches. Basically, we will want to make your ab exercise hard, but not so hard that you can't finish it. To start, you'll want to do one set of 20 crunches. If you're struggling to get crunch number 18, 19, and 20 done but can still complete the set, you're on the right intensity level. If, on the other hand, you can do 20 crunches really easily, or you can't do them at all, adjust the number of repetitions to the point where you struggle on the last three but can still finish. A good exercise routine will be 3 sets of "x" repetitions where "x" is the number you struggle to reach. In between each set, you should have a 30 second to 1 minute rest period. Once you're able to do 40 repetitions per set, you should progress to angled, or slanted crunches. Finally, after you're able to do angled crunches easily, start adding weights.

Another great, easy exercise you can do in your own home are leg lifts.  Leg lifts or leg raises are an all-around ab workout and can also give you razor sharp lower abs.  Combined with crunches, you'll get some amazing ab results with this exercise.

Just like with crunches, you'll want to start with a one set of 20 flat bodied leg lifts.  If you find 20 leg lifts too easy, increase the repetitions.  The goal with each set is to make it challenging enough that you have to work at getting the last few reps finished.  When you find the right challenge level for reps, work at doing 3 sets of that many reps per day.  Once you've gotten to the point where you can do 3 sets of 40 reps of leg lifts, progress to gravity or angled leg lifts.  After angled leg raises get too easy, then move onto hanging leg lifts.  Hanging leg lifts will be the ultimate chiseled six pack exercise. 

Besides the easy ab workouts, there are many other things you need to do to get the six pack of your dreams. Without the right information, videos, and tools, you'll be like the many people who want a six pack but never get them. Click here to learn how the pros get their rock hard abs.
