Anywhere ABS

Chandi Schwab

Here is a quick but effective ab workout! Perfect for when you go out of town or for a quick everyday ab routine that will give you great results.

1)Circles

While on a mat or cushioned carpet, lie on your back with your arms down to your side. You can either have your head slightly off the ground looking straight up at the ceiling or head relaxed on the floor relaxed looking straight up. Your arms are by your side with palms down on the floor. Slightly elevate legs straight out up in the air. Circle your legs away from each other 20 times then circle them inward toward each other 2o times.

2)Sissors

This is done with your body in the same position. Extend both legs up in the air the same way as before and bring your right leg straight up while the left is parrallel with the ground. Swith your legs back and forth and with each switch count it as a rep. Do this 20 times nice and slow to get the proper results.

3)Crunches with legs

4)Stretch

Lie on your tummy and prop your upper body up with your hands. Arch back and stretch your abs slowly.

5)Plank

Lie on your stomach and put your elbows together.prop your body up on your elbows. Your body is parallel to the ground supporting your weight on your elbows and your toes. hold it for at least 30 seconds. This is so good for your core. You will feel it. Gradually work your way up to a minute or more!

6)Side Planks

These are done the same way except your body is parallel with the wall. your body is propped on either your right elbow or you left depending on which side you are doing. Hold for 30 seconds and build from there.

I do my abs every day. I try to mix up what I do to give Variety but I see no harm in working your core every day, as long as you aren't straining your muscles too hard. Your core is your bodies foundation and most importantly needs to be strong. Remember that nutrition is so important if you want to see great results with your abs. If you put the time into scupting those muscles you want to eat well to shave off the fat that is over it so you can see all that hard work!! Drink water like crazy!!!
