Abs workout with equipment: exercises and recommended equipment

Home

Strong abs not only improve body aesthetics, but are also essential for good posture, stability and athletic performance. To get effective results, it is essential to incorporate proper equipment into your workout.

In this article, we present a routine for abs with equipment, using recommended Salter products that will help you strengthen your core efficiently.

Benefits of abs training with equipment

  • Increased resistance: Progressive overload allows for greater muscle development.
  • Complete core activation: More muscle fibers are worked than with traditional exercises.
  • Reduced risk of injury: Strengthening the middle zone improves stability and protects the spine.
  • Versatility: A wide variety of exercises adapted to all levels can be performed.

Recommended equipment for an effective abs routine

1. Abdominal Wheel

  • Benefits: Activates deep core, increases endurance and improves stability.
  • Recommended exercises: Abdominal rollout, knee extensions with knees supported.

2. Hexagonal dumbbells

  • Benefits: Increases exercise intensity and allows for advanced variations.
  • Recommended exercises: Russian twists, deadlifts with abdominal crunch.
  • Recommended product: Hex dumbbells.

3. Kettlebells

Perhaps the most useful material when working the abdomen, especially in its innermost part. When working with kettlebells we move the center of gravity of our body, so the abdomen must always be activated to keep us in balance. Surprisingly, they are useful for more than just lateral bending: try kettlebell swings and windmills to see how they work the abdominal girdle.
