It's almost summer time guys! You know what that means...bikinis, bikinis, bikinis! Now we all know that just doing ab exercises alone will not give you fantastic abs, as discussed in this post. However, they are necessary if you want to get some definition in your midsection! So I've got a great exercise that will work your whole core to get you beach ready!
The Sprinter:
Start by lying on the ground on your back. Raise your legs about 3-4 inches off the ground and pull your head and shoulders slightly off the ground. Arms by your sides.
Now crunch up, bringing your left knee to your chest. Bring your right elbow up to your knee as if you are pumping your arms, as a sprinter would do. The left elbow should stay bent at your side.
Roll back down to the starting position, not letting your feet or shoulders touch the ground.
Do the same thing but alternate your arm and your leg. This time bring your right knee in and your left arm up. Right leg stays straight and off the ground, left arm stays bent at your side.
Continue to alternate sides. To the right and then to the left counts as one rep. Aim for 15-20 reps.
Add this exercise into your daily workout, keep eating right, and stay focused and you will be ready for summer in no time! :)

ReplyDeleteOh, Neya I've got so many great ab exercises! Who knows if they will be new to you but I might just have to do a post with a collection of ab exercises! :)
