Top 5 Abs Exercises
Although there are many types exercises for the
Flat Abs
, my top5 are the following: 1)- The Ball Crunch: this exercise helps you strengthen your abs and is actually very easy. All you need to get started is a ball and you can do it anytime you like. whether it be in the morning, afternoon or even at night. Here is how it works
- sit on the ball and get a stable position - rest under your mid/lower back - place your hands behind your head - contract your abs and start to lift your torso towards the front ( as shown on the picture) Repeat it 8-10 reps and if you do it right, you will start to feel some burning after the second or third set and this shows you are working.
2)- The Captain's Chair: is one very effective and very powerful way to workout your abs and get rid of the belly fat. As any other exercise, you must do it correctly to expect results, do not cheat on this one.
All you have to do here is to press your back against the pad and lift your knees up slowly towards your chest. If you can't afford the gym or do not have the time for it, you can also purchase the equipment which is quite cheap to use at home. Visit

3)- The Bicycle Exercise: it works your abs and obliques at the same time: "get two for the price of one". As for the Ball Crunch , this exercise is relatively simple and only require a small space to do it. If you are just a beginner,don't push yourself too hard on this one. I've seen many people struggling with this exercise, so if that's you, my advice for you will be to start slowly. You need to do 50 or 100 reps to feel ok, do it as you can but keep on improving. Perfection comes with practice , don't feel discourage or even ashamed,keep on trying.
- lie face upon the floor and place your fingers behind your head - lift your shoulders off the floor without pulling on the neck - bring your knees in towards your chest and touch your elbow. One knee after another not both at a time (left knee= right hand and right knee= left hand) Alternate for about 8-10 reps or even more if you are very fit.
4)- The Plank: it's a great exercise which works on your abs and back simultaneously.
- put your feet together and your hands directly under you in a 12:15 position - keep your back flat (very important) and straight -lift your body and rest only on your toes and elbow. Stay on the position for about 45-60 seconds, then repeat it
5)- The Vertical Crunch: all you need for this exercise are a small space and a mat. Simply
