Abdominal-Exercises

There are dozens of abdominal-exercises. Some you may already know, hopefuly I can find a couple that are new to you.

Let's start with crunches. you lay flat on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor. Place your hands behind your ears then raise and lower the upper part of your body. You should feel this in the upper part of your stomach

Next we have reverse crunches. You should be in the same position as crunches except your hands are under your lower back and you are raising and lowering you legs. Make sure your knees are bent. You should feel this in the lower part of your midsection.

Lets move on to leg raises. You are in the same position as reverse crunches except your legs are straight. Raise your feet about 6 inches off the floor and hold them there for as long as you can. You should feel this in the same area as reverse crunches.

Abdominal-exercises come in many differant forms. Pilates is a great way to tighten and tone those abs. Get in a push up position make sure your back is flat and hold. Stay there as long as you can. If you feel this in your lower back don't panic that is normal.

Planks

It time for ball crunches. Lay on an exercise ball make sure it is in the middle of your back. Bring your feet in as close to the ball as you can place your hands behind your ears now raise and lower the upper part of your body. You should feel this right down the center of you tummy.

The roman twist is kind of advanced. You need a decline bench and a weight. I suggest using a plate or a ball instead of a dumbbell. Lay flat on your back hold the weight in both hands straighten your arms toward the celing now raise your upper torso and twist your body from side to side keeping the weight directly in front of you.

There are many other exercises and I invite you to offer tips and suggestions.
