Ab Workout For Men

Draw in your ab muscles tightly, then continue to inhale and exhale as normal without letting go of the tension in your abs throughout the workout. Most of the best ab workouts for men come under core muscle workouts. Core exercises involve not only your ab muscles but also the muscles of your lower back, hips and pelvis.
