Looking for some good stomach exercises to incorporate into your workouts? Well, you're in the right place because that's exactly what you've found. There's a lot more ways to train your stomach than just doing sit ups - although that's the only exercise that a lot of people seem to do.

When it comes to stomach exercises, one thing you should keep in mind is that there's more to your stomach region than just your abdominals (abs). People seem to overlook the oblique's (sides) and surprisingly, training your oblique's is actually more important than training your abdominals in terms of functionality.

Anyway, that being said, let's get into the exercises, shall we?

This is a great exercise for the entire core. It's quite functional too as it works both the abdominals and the oblique's (abs and sides). To perform the exercise, you just lean back (while sitting on the ground), elevate a medicine ball over your chest (arms straight) and then rotate your arms from side to side (semi-circle).

Medicine Ball Crunch Toss:

Again, this exercise is to be performed with a medicine ball. You will also need the assistance of a partner for this. To perform the exercise, you perform a traditional sit up only with a medicine ball in your hands. Your arms should remain extended throughout the movement and as you sit upwards, you want to let the medicine ball roll off your fingertips and into the hands off your partner. Your partner will then toss the ball back into your hands as you descend back towards the floor.

Olympic Bar Torso Rotation:

This is an awesome stomach exercise but you'll rarely see people doing it. It's great for everything - aesthetics to athletics - it doesn't matter. All you need is an Olympic bar (one of the big bars in the free weight area) and you're ready to go.

Toss some light weights on one end of the bar (if needed) and position the bottom of the bar in a corner between two walls. You'll then grab the top end of the bar (keep your arms fairly straight) and rotate your arms (and the bar) from side to side.
