The Bicycle
The bicycle imitates the pedaling motion in the position of lying on your back. The first movement is to bring the knee one to your chest and at the same time bring your opposite shoulders towards the knee. Do this without lifting your neck from the ground. Switch sides and feel the pedaling motion as you add pace to your workout. Repeat in 3 sets.
The Ball
Your exercise ball is to be prepared for these sets. Place your body pressure on the lower back whilst half-sitting on the ball. Your torso is to be lifted against the ball while your ribcage should move towards the hip. Repeat in 3 sets and feel the strength of your abdomen increase.
Vertical leg Crunch
The key to optimizing the vertical leg crunch is by keeping your legs vertically up in the air as straight as possible, during the workout. Like the bicycle movement, while any move is conducted, the neck must lay flat on the ground to prevent pulling on muscles. Slowly bring your shoulder blades towards the centre of your body. Repeat in 3 sets.
Long Arm Crunch
At this point you will already have an idea of what the crunch sets will require you to do. This is a variation of the previous crunches. Only this time, both hands are to be placed straight out behind the head as you bring you shoulder blades to towards the centre. Dumbbells are often added as an extra element to increase pressure.
Plank on Elbows and Toes
For this exercise you need to face down with your body alleviated. The pressure of the body is to be held by your elbows and toes. Make sure that your body is as straight as possible before any contractions are conducted. The exercise is to tighten the abdominals by tilting your pelvis and remaining in this position for 60 seconds. Repeat 5 sets.
Now that you know that training your stomach is not impossible. Try now!
