Ab workouts SUCK! 😵💫🥴 But at least you can do them at home! Check out these seven killer bodyweight core exercises and don’t come for me when your abs are on fire. 🔥 🥵 ☠️
⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️
1️⃣ Mountain 🏔 climbers 🧗♀️
2️⃣ V-Ups (on a platform or bench)
3️⃣ V-Ups (floor)
4️⃣ Cocoon crunches
5️⃣ Alternating 🔀 leg 🦵🏽 raises
6️⃣ Pikes
7️⃣ Flutter kick style alternating 🔀 leg 🦵🏽 raises
Notes
👉🏽Notice that most of these movements are done SLOWLY. 🐌 Your core is a muscle too. Slow down and focus on the contraction to make the most of the exercise.
👉🏽 Note the small range of motion (ROM), especially for crunch -style movements. This is to focus on your lower abdomen.
Key Takeaways
Stop ✋🏽 jumping around like crazy 🤪when you do ab workouts. Slow down and focus on activation, like you would with any other muscle. Incorporate a variety of movements to target different parts of the abdomen, and never underestimate the power of bodyweight exercises! 🔥 🥵 If you'd like to level up your home workout, you can never go wrong with an ab wheel or get very serious with a gliding core stabilizer or a bench for sit-ups and all kinds of crunch and leg raise variations!
