How to Get that V-Cut in Your Abs

Guys nowadays are pushing themselves hard in the gym not just to torch fat but also to tone and sculpt their muscles. Most are even putting that extra effort to get that V-cut in their abs as it is a hit with the ladies most of the time. But aside from eating right and doing intense training, you will need to incorporate exercises that really target your abdominals and obliques.

If you are wondering which exercises you should do, these are some recommendations by fitness pros.

  • Suspended reverse crunch. If you are working out in the gym, you can use suspension cables to increase the intensity of your crunches. Go down on all fours in front of a suspension cable and place your feet on the ends of the cables. Balance yourself in your hands while keeping your back straight and your core engaged. Bring your knees towards your middle by bending your knees and raising your hips upward. Release slowly to go back to your first position then repeat. Do 15 reps. Make sure that you keep your abdomen engaged throughout the exercise.
  • Lying leg raise. Another exercise that can help you get that V-cut in your lower abdominal muscles is the lying leg raise. As the name suggests, you will need to lie down on the floor with your hands at your sides and legs extended. Tighten your core as you raise your legs up in the air using your hips and core to bring them up. Make sure that your back remains flat on the floor. Go back to your first position. Do 15 reps.
  • Decline Russian twist. To really carve that V-shape in your abdominal muscles, you should integrate the decline Russian twist in your fitness routine. Sit on an inclined bench then hold a dumbbell with both hands. Engage your core then twist your torso to the left then twist to the right. See to it that it is only your upper body that is moving and that your hips remain in a forrward position. Do 15 reps on either side.
  • Hanging leg raise. Another possible workout that will train your core and your obliques is the hanging leg raise. Position yourself under a hanging bar and grip it with your hands that are about shoulder-width apart. Hang down by extending your arms. Raise your legs to 90 degrees by engaging your core and moving your hips. Hold this pose for a few seconds then release. Do 10 reps.
  • V-hold. The v-hold is guaranteed to work your obliques and core. To start, sit down on the floor with your legs extended before you. Lean backwards while raising your feet off the floor for a few inches until you find your center. Raise your legs higher until you create a letter V with your body. Try to reach your feet with your hands. Make sure that you engage your abdominal muscles throughout the workout.
