At Home Ab Workout
This is my current ab workout I’ve been loving! I created this workout based on workouts I’ve done with Chloe Ting and Madfit from YouTube and exercises that I’ve found work for me. I love to switch up my workouts about every 2 months!
I split the workout into 3 circuits with 3 exercises each. I do each circuit twice, take a water break, then do the next circuit. All the exercises are included in the circuits except the 1 minute plank, and the 30 planks on each side I do just once. You can adjust the number of each exercise to your preference! Find what works for you! Anyone can do it!
All you need for the workout is yourself! However, water, a yoga mat, and weights will enhance the workout.
Here is the workout plan!
With your legs as straight up as possible, crunch your abs to lift your shoulders off the ground to touch your toes. Then return to laying with your shoulders down and repeat.
2) 20 leg raises
With your legs straight out, raise your legs up about 3 feet off the ground and then lower them to about an inch above the floor and repeat. You can place your hands under your booty or right beside yourself for stability.
3) 10 scissor kicks
Laying down, with your hands under your booty or beside yourself. As you raise one leg to a 90 degree angle, keep that leg as straight as possible as well as the other leg that should be about a foot off the ground. Switch legs and repeat.
Circuit 2
4) 20 bicycles
With your hands behind your head, bend one knee and touch the opposite elbow to the opposite knee while your other leg is straight out slightly above the floor. Switch legs and repeat.
5) 20 Russian twists (optional- weights)
With your legs bent up and feet off the floor, make a fist with your hands or hold your weights and touch them to the ground on one side, then lift up and tap the other side and repeat.
6) 20 ins and outs
Place your hands by your sides for support. Crunch up and bend your knees up, then extend your body and legs out straight slightly above the floor and repeat.
Circuit 3
7) 20 heel taps
With your knees bent up reach your arm to the corresponding heel by crunching your abs on one side then do the same on the other side and repeat.
8) 1 minute plank (not part of circuit)
On your elbows, try to keep your back as flat and parallel to the ground as possible. Hold for a minute or as long as you can.
9) 30 second side planks (not part of circuit)
On one elbow, try to keep your body in a straight line. Stack one foot on top of the other for an extra challenge. Then repeat on the other side.
10) 20 side crunches
With one hand out for stability, place the other hand behind your head and crunch your abs to lift your upper body to meet your bent knees. Lay back down and extend your legs out straight then repeat to complete all 20 reps. Then do the same on the other side.
11) Alternating leg crunches
With one leg straight out on the floor raise the other leg while keeping it as straight as possible, place your hands behind your head and engage your abs to lift up to your leg. Lay back down and switch legs. Repeat.
