The 3 Ab Workouts You'll Ever Need

No matter how bad your present condition is, you can change your shape by just staying committed to these 3 ab workouts. You can even do them at the comfort in your own home. Read on to find how to perform them.

#1 Ab Workout - Give the mouse a house

Here's fabulous ab workout for a flatter lower belly. Lie on your lower back, knees bent, feet on the floor, arms along your sides. Once you inhale, bring your belly button in towards your spine and flatten your back against the floor. Then, exhale slowly and let your back curve up (making a house for a mouse on the floor under you). Carry out this move very slowly with deep breaths (up to 10 times per day/.

#2 Ab Workout - Weighted crunches

Lie on your back with your feet flat on the floor and your knees bent. Clasp a small dumbbell in your hands and hug it to your chest. Contract your abs and slowly raise your head. The point is to try to keep your neck and shoulders off the floor. Keep your belly button pulled into your spine. Hold. Gently lower yourself back down to the starting position. Do two sets of 8 to 15 repetitions. Increase the weight over time as this move becomes easy. If you have back problems or feel any strain in your lower back, skip the weights.

#3 Ab Workout - Exercise like a kid

Okay, that's not really an ab workout but my point is to be hyper-active sometimes. Children have an innate way of being active. They go all out for a few minutes, then collapse, then get their energy back and go all out again, then collapse. While I don't really recommend collapsing, you should try to spend some all-out intense minutes of exercise on most days of the week. You can't keep that energy expenditure going for too long (which is why kids naturally stop moving that hard) but getting your heart rate up that much is good for your health and your waistline.

These three ab workouts may sound simple to you but it's really effective. If you complement them with smart dieting, they will help you to turn your flabby midsection into a sexy, toned ripped abs that you can't wait to show off at the beach. Try them today!
