Easy Six Pack Abs: Tips for Easy Workout

You’re always busy.  You don’t have enough time to go to the gym.  You don’t even have time to stand up away from your computer.  But you have a dream.  A model’s body.  A six pack abdominal glory.  Want to get that dream?

There are some easy abdominal exercises that you can do even at home.Here are some home exercises that can be done fairly easily

• Crunches

Almost everyone can do this.This exercise focuses on the upper abs.It’s one of the simple but very effective exercises. To perform crunches, you should be lying on a flat surface with your hands in front of your chest.Contract your abdominal muscles and hold for a couple of seconds, then return to the lying postion.  Proper crunches are in a continuous and controlled fashion.  Concentrate on your abdominal muscles to pull your upper body up.  Avoid using the neck or shoulders to push yourself up.The incorrect technique will cause more strains and even serious injury.  

• Side Crunches

They are basically the same as regular crunches, except that the main focus is on the oblique muscles which are also called love handles.  It also uses the same technique, only that you are crunching to either side of our abs.  This would burn the sides of your abs.  

• Lying Leg Lifts

This exercise focuses on the lower abs.  with this kind of exercise, you are on the same position as with the crunches,  you lie flat on your back and lift your legs six to twelve inches of the ground.  This would exercise the muscles in the lower part of the abdomen.When doing leg lifts make sure your hands remain under your butt.  It adds leverage and helps you get your feet elevated.  

If you want to add more weight into the exercise, attach padded weights into your ankles.  These weights can be purchased at the local sports store.If you don’t have weights use a can of food or fill some tube socks with rocks or a bag of sand to get your desired weight.  

• V- Crunches

It’s almost like lying leg lifts except your chest is at a 45 degree angle starting out.  Sit at the edge of a bench and reach back just enough to support yourself from completely lying on the bench.  Once you’ve stabilized, bring your knees toward your chest.  You would be creating a V motion.  The base of the V would be your abs.  

• Cat stretch

It’s the same with the movements made by a cat when they stretch their back. This basic action is easy and quick.  Get down on the floor with your hands and knees, with muscles relaxed and looking straight ahead.  Next, tighten your abdominal muscles while thrusting you back upward as far as you can.Maintain this position for five counts and then lower your back.  

• Bicycle Crunch

To do this, start y lying flat on the floor. Put your hand beside your head then raise knees up to 45 degrees angle and them perform a pedaling motion like what you do when you ride the bicycle.  

• Standing Side Bends

Standing side bends encourages the loss of fats in the oblique muscles.  To start, stand up straight with the stomach sucked in, legs straight and hands on the sides.  Simply lean the body from left to right being careful not to rotate the hips and while keeping  body facing front.  There is a variety of side bends, this is the torso twists.  Instead of bending side to side twist or rotate the upper body from left to right while keeping the legs straight.

You can remove your flabby stomach and replace it with six pack abs, as long as you have disciplined and of course the will to do so.
