The abs are split into upper and lower abs and the upper and lower obliques. You’re workout should include exercises to hit each of these areas. The following is a list of exercises and what part of the abdominals they hit.

* Crunches – The bench press of the abdominals. Crunches hit all of the abdominals with special emphasis on the upper abs.
* Decline Crunches – Emphasizes upper abs.
* Cable Crunches (with a rope) – Hits both parts of the abdominals with emphasis on the upper abs.
* Reverse Crunches – Hits the entire abdominal complex with special emphasis on the lower abs.
* Hanging Leg Raises – Hits mostly lower abdominals.
* Hanging Knee Raises – Hits mostly lower abdominals.
* Sit ups – Hits the entire abdominal complex.
* Decline Crunch – Emphasizes upper abs.
* Oblique Crunches – Hit upper and lower obliques, with a bit more emphasis on the upper obliques.
* Hanging Side Knee Raises – Emphasizes lower obliques.
* Trunk Twists (with broom handle across shoulders) – Emphasizes obliques.
* Abdominal Machines – Hit the entire abdominal complex.
