Abdominal exercises

Abdominal exercises are a type of
strength exercise that affect the
abdominal muscles. Human abdominal
consist of four muscles which are your
rectus abdomens, internal oblique,
external oblique, and transversus
abdominis.
1 Dumbbell crunch
Upper abs workout: Dumbbell crunch
Reps 10 Rest 10sec
2 Modified V-sit
Upper abs workout: Modified V-sit
Reps 15 Rest 10sec
Lie down with your hands by your head and your legs
raised with your knees bent at a 90° angle. Simultaneously
raise your torso and draw your knees towards your chest.
Keep your fingers by your temples throughout and initiate
each rep smoothly without jerking your torso up. Don’t let
your feet touch the floor between reps.
Lie with your legs raised off the floor and extended away
from you so they’re parallel with the floor, and your arms
straight by your sides, held off the floor. Keep your arms
straight as you raise your torso and bring your legs in,
bending at the knees, so that your chest meets your knees at
the top of the move. Then lower under control.
4 Crunch
Upper abs workout: Crunch
Reps 20 Rest 90sec
Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet planted,
and your arms crossed across your chest. Raise your torso
using your abs, then lower. Your upper abs will already be
close to fatigue but try to hold the top position of each rep
for at least one second to make them work as hard as
possible.
