Abs workout at home

 

Crunches are the most effective way to loose the flab in your abdomen. Crunches are also useful in toning your muscles. The good news is, you can now do it at home, at a time that is convenient for you. All that is required is a mat for you to work out. Lie down flat on the mat. Bend your knees so that so that your feet rests flat on the mat. Now try to lift your shoulders off the mat with your hands placed behind your head. Hold this position for two seconds before slowly lowering your shoulders. Try squeezing your ab muscles with each raise. You can also try cable crunches.

 

Use a bench to do simple knee ups. Grab the edge of the bench, extend your leg outward and then slowly pull your knees to your chest. Hold for two seconds before returning to your original position. Remember to squeeze your ab muscles every time you raise your knee.
