Sometimes we look at pictures on fitness magazines, or posters on build boards or even some pictures on social media with men and women having that body we want to have have with those abs, but because we think we cannot do it, we consider it as Photoshop or that those people are either athletes or models so it is not our thing and that we cannot do it. Here I will outline those home exercises to build solid ABS.

There is another misconception whereby people think that to have a beach body and good looking abs you have to spend time in the gym, WRONG. I know a lot of people who are really fit, with good health and beautiful body but have never had a gym membership. All they do is respect the 3 fundamentals of a healthy lifestyle which are Diet the-types-of-foods-that-can-help-you-loss-weight, Exercise and they do it from home most-effective-fat-burning-home-exercises and Mental training which helps them to be committed and consistent in what they do.

Here are the home exercises to build solid ABS.

1. SIDE PLANK PULSE:

Lie on your side with your elbow under your shoulder. Tighten your abs and then lift your hips off the floor, your feet and forearms should be holding you up. Keep abs tight and head in proper alignment. Slowly lower and raise your hips into position for reps. Repeat reps then repeat on other side.

2. KNEE TO ELBOW CRUNCHES:

Lie flat on your back and place your hands behind your head. Bend your knees and bring them up so that your thighs and hips form a 90 degree angle, calves parallel to the floor. With elbows flared lift your shoulder blades off the floor and hold the position. Then twist your upper body to one direction bringing the elbow to the opposite knee while fully extending your other leg. Hold and then return back to the starting position to repeat in the opposite direction.

3. CRUNCH CLAPS:

Lie on your back flat with your legs stretch, sit up while raising one leg and clap your hands behind your calf, Lower back down into the starting position slowly and under control and repeat the same with the other leg. Repeat till you feel your abs can no longer hold.

4. LEG RAISE EXERCISE:

leg raise

Lie on your back and place your hands or palms on the floor beside you, raise your legs off the ground and keep your knees lock throughout the exercise , hold for 40 seconds or for as long as you can then return to starting position. The Leg raise exercise, or leg lifts, is an ab isolation exercise. By raising your legs above your body, you work not only your upper abs, but your lower abs as well. Because you raise your legs off the ground, Leg Lifts especially work your lower abs.

5. TOE TOUCH:

Lie on your back and put your hands behind your head, raise your legs up to the direction of the ceiling , swing your hands towards the ceiling while lifting your head and shoulder off the ground and touch your toes, Repeat over and over till you feel your abs can no longer hold.

6. ELBOW PLANK:

elbow plank

Start face down on the floor resting on your forearms and knees. Push off the floor, raising up off your knees onto your toes and resting mainly on your elbows. Stay for up to 60 seconds and then repeat. Elbow plank is harder on the abs than the traditional planks in push-up position.

7. CRUNCHES:

crunches

The crunch is one of the most popular abdominal exercise. It involves the entire abs, but primarily it works the rectus abdominis muscles and also works the oblique. It allows both building six-pack abs, and tightening the belly. Lie on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the floor, place your hands behind your head and hold your elbows out to the sides, gently pull your abdominal inward, curl up and forward so that your head, neck, and shoulder blades lift off the floor, Hold for a moment at the top of the movement and then lower slowly back down.

8. PLANKS ARM RAISE:

Begin in a plank position with your weight resting on your forearms and your body in a completely straight line from your shoulders to your ankles. Tighten your abs and without letting your hips shift, raise one arm out straight in front of you. Pause, then lower it back to the starting position. Repeat.

9. PLANK LEG RAISE:

Start in a plank position with your arms bent and your weight in your forearms. Engage your core and keep your body straight all the way from your head down to your heels. Now raise one leg and hold that position for one second. As you raise, try to keep your hips down and the rest of your body in a straight line. Lower the leg and raise the other leg. Continue alternating back and forth.
