Abs may look amazing at a glance but it requires a lot of hard work, dedication and will power to go through with the strict regime that comes when you’re on your way to gain abs.
The same exercise routines that are suggested for men though will not work well for a woman’s body. The reason for this is because women tend to have a longer waist and wider pelvis area. It is advised to work on having a stronger core as that can aid you in performing various tasks with ease. Below are some exercises best for getting your core stronger:
1. Squat and Body Twist
This is two exercises merged into one for maximum result. You have to bend your body and push your hips downwards into a squat position. Get up, stand tall again and twist your torso to touch your left elbow with your right leg.
With this you will be making your core stronger while working on your legs and you oblique.
2. Leg Raise and Clap
As the name suggests, this can be a pretty fun and energetic. You will have to lie straight on the ground with your legs in the air. Push your hands on the side with your palms down. Make sure not to lift your back while raising your legs. As soon as your legs hit an exact 45 degrees, curve your upper body, come forward and clap your hands behind your knees.
This can do wonders for your transverse abs and your abdomen muscles while also working your arms.
3. Alternate Toe Touch
This is a simple exercise that can be done anywhere. All you need to do is to lie flat on your back with your arms extended on either side. Next up, you have to tighten your core. Once you’re in the right position, you can start by touching your left toe with your right and then the opposite.
This is an excellent exercise because it will work your abdomen and external oblique.
4. Mountain Climbers with a Twist
You will start by being in a plank position but with your palms pressed straight ahead. Then, bring your left leg forward as you would in a mountain climber exercise. The only difference would be that you’ll be bringing your left leg forward towards your right hand and your right leg towards the left hand.
This is a pretty simple exercise and can aid you in shaping your transverse abs and oblique.
5. Plank
One can’t go wrong with a simple plank as it’s the best exercise to strengthen your core. All you have to do is get in a push up position with your arms pressed on to the mat till your elbows. Try to remain in that position for as long as you can.
Even if you have a thin, smooth stomach it will take some effort and exercise routines to attain visible abdomen muscles or abs. Stick with the exercise routines mentioned above and do each of them 15 times every day for maximum possible results.
