What are some effective ab exercises that don't involve laying on the floor on your back?

I have a permanent coccyx (butt bone) injury that makes it impossible to do ab exercises that involve laying on the floor on my back, like crunches and sit-ups. The positions of these exercises put pressure on the injured area that makes it painful when coming up into the crunch. Since this isn’t an injury that is going to go away, I need to find some alternative ab exercises that are performed standing up, laying on my side, etc.

    Home ab workout: crunch exercise for 6-pack abs

    forum.scoobysworkshop.com Got fitness questions? Check out the free askscooby forum! Don’t let the TV ads convince you to buy some bulky contraption that will gather dust in your closet, crunches are safe and effective! This video clip shows how to do crunches with varying degrees of difficulty based on your ability. Remember that ab exercises alone will not give you abs! If you have the best abs in the world they will be completely invisible if you are overweight. Aerobic exercise and proper diet are even more important than ab exercises in getting that sought after 6-pack. Form is very important in crunches, many people do them incorrectly and end up working out their neck or hips more than their abs. Use slow movements and only use the abs. Concentrate on trying to raise your shoulders straight up towards the ceiling. Don’t worry about how many reps you do but focus on using perfect form. No whipping the head around or flapping your arms! This is not a sit-up either, the hips are stationary. Also important is to minimize any tension in the neck, I do this by very lightly supporting my head with my hands or the weight plate The main reason to workout abs is because strong abs stabilize your lower back and shield you from injury but as a side benefit a 6-pack looks great! For more ab exercises scoobysworkshop.comAnyone can be healthier, have more energy, sleep better, and feel better about themselves through bodybuilding.

      The BEST LOWER ABS Exercise

      http://TheBestWayToExercise.com

      http://GetLowerAbs.com

      http://TheBestWayToExercise.Blogspot.com

      “Hanging Hip Lifts” is one of the most challenging exercises for preferential activation of the “lower” abdominal muscles. The secret in performing this movement correctly is the rotation of the hips and a distinct pause at the top of each repetition.

      Your abs contract on a continuum of graduated activation, in this case, from lower to upper. You cant totally isolate a specific region, but you can focus on it… and this exercise is phenomenal if you want to contract your abs from the bottom up. The key is to make these as slow and as deliberate as possible.

      Please visit my website for all of the secrets:

      How To Get Six Pack Abs – With Fat Loss Exercises and Workouts

      Go to http://www.fatlosslifestyle.com & I will teach YOU little known Nutrition Principles that will force you to gain muscle & lose fat faster than ever

      How To Get Six Pack Abs – With The Best Ab Exercises and Workouts! The “Face Down and Side Plank” Core Exercise is a great exercise. It is an awesome functional, athletic movement for you athletes. It will not only give you the ripped
      Abs you have been looking for, but it will make you spine more pain free.

      The main reason to workout abs is because strong abs will stabilize your lower back and prevent you from an injury; but as a side benefit a 6-pack looks great!

      Anyone can be healthier, have more energy, sleep better, and feel better about themselves through bodybuilding. Bodybuilding doesn’t have to be expensive or take a lot of time, gyms are great but home workouts can save you time and money. A couple of rubber bands & some good exercises is all it takes to get started with your home workouts. You do not need any equipment. In fact most of the clubs are wasting hundreds of thousands of dollars on equipment that is making peoples bodies less functional and worse off.

      I started doing these types of movements back in 1983. Basic, compound, power-movements for football. We were taught the big 3, squats, dead lift’s, and hang-clean’s.
      Through my passion for training myself & my experiences of training over 17,000 sessions with busy people just like you, I have learned a lot about becoming lean, fit, &
      Energetic.

      The “Face Down and Side Plank” Core Exercise is a vital part of shocking your mid-section. This movement really allowed me to build a strong base and get the midsection I had always dreamed about. At the age of 43 years old, I am in the best shape of my life. And I know that you can do it to. All the time it takes is 4-5 hours per week, with a well thought out plan of action.

      You can work-out till your blue in the face but if you do not incorporate Interval Cardio (done first thing in the morning in a fasted state), intense functional multi-joint, compound exercises, small healthy meals often with protein and carbs combined together, positive mindset, goal setting & social support (you will turn into who you hang around) you will not change your body much.

      But if you do focus on the 5 pillars of fitness & health, you will radically change your waistline, your lifestyle, and your life. For more incredible before and after testimonials;
