Get Fab Abs With These Three Exercises

By Ashley

Wanting to get some fabulous abdominals? Today we’ll talk about three different exercises that you can do which will help you get the abs you’ve always wanted! Before we get into talking about those exercises, I’d like to point out that it’s important not to over-work your abdominals, just as it’s important not to over-work ANY of your muscles! There is no need to train your abs every day. Instead, train your abs one day, rest another day, and then work them again. All of your muscles need time to rest! With that, here are three exercises you can do to get “Fab Abs” that will strengthen your core and improve your posture.

–Leg Lifts–

  1. Lie down on a mat or the floor and tighten your abdominal muscles and squeeze your buttocks
  2. Straighten your legs so that they are perpendicular to your upper body
  3. Move them back and forth - but don’t go farther than a 45 degree angle

  2. Lift the upper portion of your body (upper back and shoulder blades) off of the floor (note: your chin shouldn’t touch your chest)
  3. Do about 10 repetitions
