[Music Playing] Sarah Hi everyone! Welcome to Diet.com video, I am Sarah your host. And today, I am joined by Stephen Cabral, the author of the Fatlossity weight loss system. And he is going to be showing me as well as you guys from the best Abs exercises you probably never heard off. Stephen Cabral We are going to go through some none traditional crunches today, some different abs exercise are going to burn body fat, and get your abs looking great and flatten that tummy. Sarah Great! So let us get it started. Stephen Cabral First exercise we are going to is called the barbell overhead squat. We will start by lifting the bar directly overhead. Your hands are going to slightly wide than shoulder width, and your feet will be about shoulder width apart. You are going to sit back with hips, keeping the core engaged using your lower back, obliques, and abs muscles, looking at the whole time, looking straight ahead. Keep those core muscles engaged, so as you can see Sarah is not falling forward. We will go for 15 repetitions. Make sure the knees do not cave in, that they stay actually over the feet, and want to keep the chin parallel to the floor. Up next, we are going to over low high bent chops. What we are going to do is complete one set of this, and then after 30 to 60second rest, we are going to go back to the barbell overhead squats, and back to low to high bend chops. So this can be considered one super set that you are gong to do once, twice or three times depending on your fitness level. This can help you burn more body fat, and get the abs that has much more tone. Okay, up next, I want you to clasp your hands around both handles, either into lock your fingers or place one hand over the other. Keep your knees slightly bent, your core engaged, I want you to keep your both hands towards your right thigh, and now, come straight across your body or your shoulder. Good, look forward the whole time, keep the core engaged, and pull straight across your body. Good, nice drawing athletic stance, engage in those obliques, engaging the core muscles, good, breathe in all the way down and breathe out, pushing hard right across. We are going for 15 repetitions, huge benefits right here in core strength and really making a small tight stomach. The next exercise is the dumbbell front squats. All right, I am going to have you grab these set of dumbbells. Keep your abs engaged now right from the beginning. I am going to have you place these guys right on your shoulders, right on middle of the shoulder. Good, so it is not in traps, it is not near ion the neck, it is bouncing right in your shoulders, you are keeping your elbows up basically parallel to the floor. And, now, I want you to sit back with your hips, making sure your knees do not go over your toes. Okay, so initiate from the hips, engaging the glutes, engaging the legs, and sit back with the weight on your heels. We are keeping the core engaged, abs, obliques, lower back, her legs are working, so we are going to burn more body fat. That is essential to be able to see the abs, and those dumbbells right there add a little bit of shoulder load to make sure the abs are working even harder. The last exercise of the second superset is Turkish half get up, so we are going to be using the Kettle ball for this exercise. We are going to place this Kettle ball in your right arm. We are going to hold this directly above your right shoulder. Now, I want you to stretch your left leg out straight, keeping your right leg and your hip. To initiate this exercise, you are going to roll towards that left shoulder and left arm, and then push your self up, looking at the Kettle ball the entire time. Come back down slowly with the Kettle ball above your shoulder, come back down fully, and then crunch back up, great rep. coming back down slowly, engaged, pretend this is a bucket of water that you do not want to spill forwards or backwards, great work.
