This site is brought to you by teacher, motivational speaker, physical therapist, personal trainer, and natural bodybuilding champion Charles Inniss

Hello, my name is Charles Inniss, and I created this site for you. I have lectured to 1000’s of health students, personal trainers, and gym goers, and the #1 question people ask me when they find out that I am a personal trainer is “How do I get rid of this? … as they grab their stomachs or love handles.

Being a friendly and cool guy, I would immediately start off into an hour-long response. I’ve been studying all my life to help people be healthier and get in better shape, and no quick response would do justice.

So, I sat down and started thinking about everything that I tell my clients and students about abs and ab exercises, and decided to create a website that is all about abs. That way, I could teach more people how to lose stomach fat, strengthen the core muscles, prevent lower back injuries, and stay motivated long enough to see results.

I’m kinda nerdy and a bit of an over-achiever, so I won’t settle for anything less than the best. I want you to think of me as your personal trainer, and I want you to know that I am always dedicated to helping all of my clients (including you) reach their goals.

So have fun, study the site, learn the lessons and strategies, put them into action, and inspire someone else to follow in your footsteps.

Yours in Health,
Dr. Charles Inniss

Stomach, Core and, Ab Exercises

This page will give you an overview of the various ways you can work you abdominal muscles (i.e. with a stability ball, medicine ball, etc.) It is a directory for all the ab exercises on this site.

When in doubt, go to this page to find pictures and instructions for ab exercises.

Directory of Ab Exercises

Ab Exercises on the Ball

The stability ball or exercise ball is still one of the hottest tools for abdominal training, and ab crunches on the ball are one of my favorite ab exercises.

The main benefits of the exercise ball are that it increases the range of motion of any stomach exercise and makes your core muscles work harder because of the balance and stability challenge. Many people also find it more comfortable than ab machines or regular floor crunches.

The plank is a core exercise that has crossed over from yoga to fitness and it is a great way to strengthen the deep core muscles, stabilize the lower back, and prevent back pain. One reason for lower back pain is a lack of stability and control around the spine.

When your spine moves too much, extra pressure is placed on the joints in your lower back. The plank is an isometric exercise that helps to teach you how to keep your back stable. The prefix iso- means same and metric means length so iso-metric simply means same length or no movement.

Many trends in fitness go through cycles. In the 70’s medicine balls were everywhere and were made popular by movies like Rocky. In the 80’s they lost popularity, but now they’re back stronger than ever.

A medicine ball is simply a weighted ball that can add resistance for your ab muscles. By using your arms as a conduit, you can learn to transfer power from your core to your upper body. In addition, you can throw medicine balls and do fast explosive movements, and this helps to develop power in your core muscles and works really well to improve athletic performance.

Medicine balls can be used to increase the effectiveness of your core workout and improve your sports performance, and this page will show you how to incorporate using medicine balls in your core workout routine.

Medicine Ball Ab Exercises

Learn how to get a Flat Stomach or Six Pack Abs

If you want to lose stomach fat, get flat sexy abs, or get a ripped 6 pack, you need a comprehensive fitness approach that includes ab exercises, aerobic exercise, weight training, flexibility exercises, and a sound nutrition plan.

On this site I'll teach you how to reach your fitness goals. If your goal is to decrease the size of your waist and reveal your abdominal muscles, then you should read Get Six Pack Abs/ Flatten Your Stomach.

It takes you through all the measurements you should take and teaches you about all the fitness components necessary for killer abs.

Low Carb Diet Plans

When it comes to losing body fat, you need a sound nutrition approach. In the past decade, low carb diets have taken over as the most popular way to lose weight.

There are many different diet plans but most of them say very similar things: get most of your carbohydrates from whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, eat lean sources of protein, and eat healthy fats.

To learn more, read my page on low carb diet plans.

Lower Back Exercises

Your core is only as strong as your weakest link, and unfortunately for most people, their lower back is their weakest link.

In this day of sedentary lifestyles and computer overload, many people develop postural problems and low back pain. And although having strong abdominal muscles does help to support posture, back exercises are just as important.

As a physical therapist, I know that there can be many causes of back pain, but here are two simple things that you can do to improve the function of your back muscles and prevent injury.

1) Flexibility—We all sit too much and as a result our spines become stiff. When your spines become stiff, your body does not move efficiently and ab exercises are much less effective. Stretching your back is not only good for your back, but it can increase the effectiveness of crunches or any other stomach or core exercise.

2) Strength—In multiple studies on back pain, researchers have shown that people with chronic low back pain have muscle atrophy (deterioration) in the lower back area. And if muscles are deteriorating, strength training is a way to build them back up so that they support the back.

So many people focus exclusively on ab exercises in a quest to get a 6 pack or a flat stomach, and they neglect the lower back.

Don’t make the same mistake! Learn some lower back exercises!

Core Training is a philosophy that swept over fitness in the past 10 years, but so many people don’t really understand the philosophy of core training.

Physiotherapists in Australia did research on chronic lower back pain, and they tested coordination of core muscles during movements of the arm or legs. What they found is that people who have healthy backs have good coordination—specifically their abdominal and low back muscles-- which helps to stabilize the lower back before the arms and legs move.

Conversely, people with chronic lower back pain displayed poor coordination of their core muscles. In other words, their arms and legs would move before the abdominal and lower back muscles could keep the spine stable.

This research is so important for understanding how the body is supposed to work. All of our movements are initiated around our core. When the core muscles are strong and coordinated, our backs are protected from excess pressure.

Core Exercises are an important part of any fitness program. If you're looking for a good core workout, try this core exercise program.

Ab Machines and Ab Exercise Equipment

There are thousands of ways to work your abdominal muscles. You can use an ab lounge or an ab machine in the gym. You can use the floor or exercises balls. You can use benches, cables, dumbbells, and ankle weights. You can do Reebok Core board exercises or choose an ab wheel exercise.

Abdominal exercise equipment & ab machines have pros & cons.

Learn about ab machines and ab exercise equipment and learn tons of ab exercises.

Exercise Myths

Unfortunately, even the best ab exercises cannot do everything that we’d like them to do. The fitness and weight loss industry keeps perpetuating certain myths because it is more profitable to keep people like you believing that exercise and pills work like magic wands.

Ab exercise and supplements can definitely help you to achieve any fitness goal you desire, but magic wands just simply don’t exist.

However, I do believe that getting your knowledge from a true professional can sometimes be so eye-opening that you will feel as if you have a magic wand. And I hope that after reading every page on this site you’ll know exactly what to do to truly reach your goals.

This site is like your magic wand, but batteries are not included. You’ll have to provide the juice to ultimately create the magical transformation you crave.

First you need to find out about the # 1 abdominal exercise myth so you can proceed with more knowledge, and I’ll teach you the top exercise myths that are keeping you from reaching your goals.

Ab Workouts and Tips

Constructing an ab workout is fairly easy once you define the goal and understand basic exercise principles.

Exercise can focus on increasing endurance, improving strength, and increasing speed.

Generally speaking, if you perform many repetitions in a slow manner you will most efficiently increase your endurance.

If you perform a moderate number of reps with a moderate tempo and heavier weights you will focus on strength.

And, if you perform motions in a fast and explosive way you will improve speed.

If you don't belong to a gym, try this simple home workout.

Or if you're looking for a challenge, try a killer ab workout, and see what I think was my best ab workout ever.
