If you could only pick ONE, which would it be?

I like the BICYCLE crunches. They work my whole abdominal region, and keep my tummy feeling tight. It’s awesome!

What about you?

I have reduced my weight (thanks to Atkin’s diet)! I do rigorous exercise, including the crunches but for some reason, can’t give my abs the shape that I really want. I want to spare 15 minutes everyday. Any suggestion?

Just perform these ab exercises a few times a week is suffice enough to stimulate your abdominal muscles enough to keep your core muscles strong. Do keep in mind that you have to concurrently combine these easy ab exercises with a healthy diet to see the perfects abs that you are hoping for.

For all of the easy ab exercises, you will have to suck in your stomach to activate your transversus abdominals, the muscle that should always fire before any other core musle.

1) Crunches

2) Standing Side Bends

3) Double crunches

Easy ab exercises 1 – Crunches

Lie flat on your back on the floor. Take a deep breath, suck in your stomach, keep your eyes focused on the ceiling, and raise your upper body off the ground until it is at a 45-degree angle with the floor. Don’t pull on your neck, as this can lead to forward head posture, neck pain and, in extreme cases, migraine headaches. Hold the contraction for 2 to 3 seconds and slowly return to the starting position. Perform 3 sets of 10 to 15 reps.

Easy ab exercises 2 - Standing side bends

Stand up straight and suck in your stomach. Keeping your legs straight and your arms at your sides, lean from left to right. Make sure you don’t rotate at the hips; rather, keep your upper body in a forward-facing position and simply tilt your body left and right. This easy ab exercise primarily works the obliques, but it also engages the entire abdominal wall and some of the lower back muscles. Perform 3 sets of 10 to 15 reps.

Easy ab exercises 3 - Double crunches

The double crunch combines the crunch and another exercise called the knee raise, which will place more emphasis on the lower abdominal region.

Lie flat on your back against the floor with your legs in the air and your knees bent at a 90-degree angle so that your calves are parallel with the floor. Take a deep breath, suck in your stomach, keep your eyes focused on the ceiling, and raise your upper body off the ground until it is at a 45-degree angle with the floor. Once again, make sure not to pull your neck. Hold the contraction for 2 to 3 seconds and slowly return to the starting position. Perform 3 sets of 10 to 15 reps.

By following these easy ab exercises that can be done at home, you will be effectively working on your core muscles. In combination with good nutritional diet, these ab exercises can help you get easy 6 pack abs in no time.

Vomit from too much ab exercise? or double dose of birth control?

Christina asked:


I worked out my abs yesterday really hard and the next morning i woke up and they were so sore i could barely move them. i tried to stretch them out but they were still sore. I woke up very early for work and i ended up throwing up. Now i dont know whether it was from my abs being really sore or not eating very much. I also took a double dose of my birth control pill yesterday so maybe it was too much.
