Abdominal Workout #1
Easy Abdominal Exercise: Crunches:
These hit mostly the upper abdominals. Place your hands behind (support, but
don't pull) your head and curl your upper torso forward, bringing your rib
cage toward your pelvis until you feel a contraction in your abdominal muscles.
Holding your hands down by your hips is an easier version. Pause for the contraction
of the abdominal muscles and slowly return to the starting position. Exhale
on the contraction - this breathing advice applies to all abdominal exercises.
Easy Abdominal Exercise: Reverse Crunch:
Lie face up on a flat bench with your hips and knees bent. Grasp the bench
behind your head with both hands. Keeping the angles in your hips and knees
fixed, contract your abdominal muscles to pull your hips upward until your
lower back is a few inches off the bench. Hold for a moment, then lower and
repeat.
These exercises in an easy abdominal workout would involve doing three sets of 20 reps for the abdominal crunches, with one minute of rest after each set. Soon as you are done with the abdominal crunches move on to the abdominal hip rolls for the same set and rep pattern.
When you are done with the easy ab workout, you can step it up a notch with this slightly harder home ab workout.
