October 20, 2008
Many people find going to the gym very difficult. Because of this they want some form of exercise that they can easily do at home. Some of these exercises – referred to here as ab exercises – can help strengthen the abdominal muscles. It should be clear that this easy ab exercises will not be very effective if not combined with other things like good diet and regular cardiovascular regimen.
Here are some easy ab exercises.
Crunches
This is done lying back on the floor. While looking at the ceiling, take a deep breath and suck in your tummy. Then, raise your upper body off the ground until you get to an angle of 45 degrees. Sustain the position for about 2 seconds and go back. Pulling the neck while doing this will give you headaches later; avoid that. Do 3 sets of 10 to 15 reps.
Standing side bends
While standing straight with arms at your sides, suck in your tummy and start leaning from left to right without rotating the hips. Your upper body must be in a forward-looking position. Standing side bends work primarily on obliques, but later on the entire abdominal wall and some lower back muscles.
Torso twists
This is one of the best easy ab exercises for tightening up the midsection. The torso twist can be done by rotating the upper body from left to right while standing up straight with the tummy sucked in. The twists engage both the internal and external obliques which are important core muscles. Do 3 sets of 10 to 15 reps.
Double crunches
This is a combination of the crunch exercise known as knee raise which place more emphasis on the lower abdomen. Lie back on the floor. Raise your legs and bend your knees at an angle of 90 degrees. Suck in your tummy after a deep breath and raise your upper body off the ground until it reaches 45 degrees. Hold up for about 2 seconds and get back slowly. Do 3 sets of 10 to 15 reps.
These exercises will give you strengthened abdominal muscles.
