Hi guys, This is the first post I will be doing on fitness. I want to assume that some of us are beginners, so I would love us to start from scratch,
You know you CANNOT look good in those clothes if you do not look fit right? Ok, first things first, lets get a flat tummy; did I hear you say you can't go through the stress? *smiles* Of course! you can.
There are different kinds of tummy workout routine that you can combine to give you the flat and sexy abs you so desire, but we shall start with these three simple ones that you can do at home. Find hhem below:
1. CRUNCH
Do This
Lie on your back on the floor. Using a mat or carpeted surface is more comfortable, but make sure it doesn't have too much cushioning.
Bend your knees. Your feet should be flat on the floor. Place you hand behind your neck or head. Lift your shoulders towards the ceiling using your abdominal muscles and pause at the peak.
It is very important not to lift your entire back off the floor, as
this can cause back strain, and the extended movement does not help you
develop tight abs any quicker. When your shoulders are off the ground, pause and hold that position for a full second. Exhale and contract your abs as you go up. Ease back down slowly as you inhale. Don't just "plop" back down. Your control on the way down works your ab muscles as well. Repeat this action up to 30times for starters.
2. PLANK
Do This
Lie down on your tummy and then go into a pushup position, lift the knees off the floor. Next, place your elbows on the floor. Make sure your legs are still in the push-up position. Aim to hold the post for 30 seconds, or however long you want to.3. BICYCLE CRUNCH
Do This
Lie on the floor. Stretch your legs out straight and hold your arms outstretched at your sides. Place your hands behind your head. You can interlock your fingers if you desire. Raise your legs. Raise them so that your thighs are perpendicular to the ground, and your calves are parallel to the ground. Touch your right elbow to your left knee.
Now lift your head up and touch your right elbow to the left knee while
pulling your knee up towards your head. At the same time, straighten
your right leg, keeping it several inches off of the floor - similar to
the motion you'd make while pedaling a bicycle.
Now touch your left elbow to your right knee. At the same time, straighten your left leg, keeping it off of the floor. Don't forget to tighten those abs. Repeat this up to 30times.
Don't just try the above once and expect magic to happen, you have to workout regularly to achieve great result; at least 3 times a week. I hope you find this very helpful.
Please do share your opinion and let me know what you think.
Wow Pat, this is awesome. keep up the good work. More power to your elbow.
