25 Best Ab workout routines for beginners Women's

21. Side V-Up

Lie on your right side, with your left hand behind your head and right hand on the floor.

Pressing down into your right hand, raise your straight legs off the floor and bring your torso toward your legs.

Lower yourself back to the floor with control. That's one rep. Continue for 12-15 reps. Then switch sides and repeat on the other side.

22. One-Leg Plank (Best Ab Workout for Women)

Start by getting into a standard plank position. Once positioned, lift one leg off of the floor and keep it fully extended.

Keep your body balanced in that position and hold for 10-20 seconds. Lower your leg and return to the starting position. Rest for a second or two, then repeat on the other leg. Complete 10-12 reps per side for 2-3 sets.

23. Side Plank Toe Touch (Best Ab Workout for Women)

Get into a side push-up plank position with your hand under your shoulder and your bottom leg slightly in front of your top leg with your bottom foot rested on its outer side. After you are balanced, raise your top arm up and keep your gaze straight ahead.

Kick your bottom leg up and forward, slightly twisting your upper body to reach your hand to your foot. Return leg to the starting position and repeat. Complete 10-12 reps then switch sides. Repeat and complete 2-3 sets.

24. Crunch

Lie flat on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor, hip-width apart. Place your hands behind your head so your thumbs are behind your ears. Don’t lace your fingers across together.

Hold your elbows out to the sides but rounded slightly in. Tilt your chin slightly, leaving a few inches of space between your chin and your chest. Gently pull your abdominals inward to tighten your abs. Curl up and forward so that your head, neck, and shoulder blades lift off the floor.

Hold for 1-2 counts at the top of the movement and then lower slowly back down. Repeat for 12-15 repetitions.

25. Boat (Best Ab Workout for Women)

Start by sitting with your knees bent. Rest your feet lightly on the floor as you balance on your tailbone. Engage your core and slowly recline while maintaining your straight back.

Bring your arms straight in front of you, then raise your legs up straight to create a V-shape with your torso and legs. Hold that position for 30 to 60 seconds.
