Abdominal Exercises for woman!!! really works!!


Abdominal Exercise # 1. Regular Crunches– This is done lying with your back flat on the floor with your ankles crossed and knees raised toward your chest. Hands can be put together in the front or placed behind the head with elbows straight out to the sides. Contract the abdomen muscles and lift your shoulders off the floor. Do not strain your neck and leave your lower back flat on the floor.

Abdominal Exercise # 2. V Crunches - Using a chair, sit on the edge of the seat with your arms straight down to the side and holding the sit. Keeping the back straight, lean the body back so it is at a 45 degree angle (like the first line of a ‘V’) .Then contract the abdomen muscles and lift the legs up toward the chest to make the knees form the second line of the V. This abs exercise works the lower abs. Keep your back straight with no arching of your lower back when lifting the legs.

Abdominal Exercise # 3. Floor leg lifts - Another good abs exercise to work the lower abs is to lie flat on the floor with your legs straight, hands to your sides or under your buttocks and lift your legs about 6 - 10 inches off the floor and hold for a few seconds. Hold the position for as long as you can without straining your neck or arching your lower spine. Repeat as many times as you can. While performing the exercises keep your abdominal muscles contracted and your lower back flat on the floor.
