5 Beginner Ab Workout Exercises To Do at Home

 

1. Standing Rotating Knee to Elbow | Obliques

Stand with your hands behind your head. Then bring your right elbow towards your left knee to make them meet in front of your chest.

Make sure you keep those abs tight while doing this exercise.

Alternate and repeat.

2. Hands Through Knee Crunches | Rectus Abdominus and Obliques

Lie down with your knees bent up and your arms stretched out between your legs

Then crunch through by pushing your hands past your knees as far as you can.

Don’t let your shoulders touch the ground as you do your crunches.

Tip: Tighten your stomach muscles and suck in your belly button.

3. Floor Wipers | Rectus Abdominus

Lie on your back with your legs raised and aligned to your hips.

Then slowly twist your body down to one side and then the other. You can use your arms for stabilization.

Tip: To make the exercise simpler, you may also bend your knees but just make sure they are still aligned to your hips.

4. Mountain Climbers | Lower Abs and Obliques

Start in a planking position. Make sure your hands are in line with your shoulders.

Then drive one knee forward and then the other bringing them as close to your chest as possible.

Tip: Squeeze your abs while thrusting your knees forward.

5. Hollow Body Holds | Lower Abs

Lie on your back with your arms and legs stretched out.

Raise your arms and legs above your head and hold this position for 10 seconds.

Take 10-second breaks between sets.

Tip: Keep your abs and butt tight, and your lower back pressed against the floor throughout this exercise.

Remember those washboard stomachs do not come overnight. You have to be diligent and patient. If you do these exercises regularly, coupled with a good diet, pretty soon, you will be seeing those six-pack abs.
