There are a lot of exercises that will help you get stronger and make your tummy look better, but of course, in addition to great exercises, you will also need to pay attention to a healthy diet, because this is a recipe for success. In the following, we advise which are the best exercises for the abdomen and how to perform them correctly.
Everything ABS excercises, which you perform at home or in the gym, are done in several repetitions with smaller intervals. You can only use your own weight, you can use equipment such as a medicine ball or a weight, and in the fitness center there are also devices designed specifically for abs. It's good to have a base to lie on, but the most important thing is to keep your back firmly on the floor during all exercises. The easiest way to do this is to imagine how you are pressing your navel to the floor. Check out the best abdominal exercises.
Fold and stretch
Lie on the fitness mat and lift your head and feet off the floor. Your hands are constantly in the air as well as your legs. While one leg is lowered, the other is raised upright. Do a sit-up by lifting the other leg to the first one, which is already in the air, and at the same time raise both arms, you should be in a position as if you want to touch your toes with your fingers. As you lower your arms, lower your leg proportionately, then repeat the process. Do 20 reps and then switch sides.
Standing sit-ups
Stand shoulder-width apart and put your hands behind your head. Lift and bend one leg and bend to the side so that your elbow touches your knee.
Repeat 20 times and then turn the page.
Ball game
Lie on the mat and keep your back flat on the floor. Take the ball and stretch your arms above your head, keeping your head and shoulders lifted. Keep one leg bent, the other straight but in the air. Bend the extended leg towards you, then lower it again. See that the other leg will always be aligned at a 90 degree angle in the air. If the exercise is too difficult for you, you can lower your leg to the floor. Repeat 20 times and turn the page.
Sitting ball game
You perform the exercise in almost the same way as the previous one, except that you are sitting here. When sitting, hold a ball in your hands that should be resting on your chest, lean slightly back, heels should touch the floor. Extend your arms with the ball in the air, and proportionally lift your legs off the ground. Repeat 20 times.
Reverse lunge step
Take a lunge step with your right hand touching your left leg in front, right extended back at a 90-degree angle. Now rise from this position by bending your right leg in the air, and turn your body to the right, with your arms bent and at shoulder height. Repeat 20 times each side.
