1. Crunches

According to research, abdominal crunch, still, is the best exercise for the abdomen. It has the most activated muscles when working out your core. This strengthens all the muscle fiber of the abdomen. To do a crunch:

Step 1

Lie on the floor with your knees bent and your legs perpendicular to the ground.

Step 2

Have your hands rest crossed on your chest. Don’t place your hands behind your neck. When you force this, this could give you injury.

Step 3

Tighten your core and lift your shoulders. Remember this detail well. Do not lift from your neck as you will strain the cervical spine.

Step 4

Roll forward until your shoulders are about 20 degrees from the ground. You do not have to go all the way up. With this lying position, it would be nearly impossible to get up.

Step 5

Feel the strain in your whole core muscle as you repeat the process. Do about 8-12 sets, to begin with, and repeat for 3-5 sets.

2. Flutter Kicks

Flutter kicks are just like swimming in the pool, except, you are just lying on the floor and not moving.

This is another great exercise for stomach. It also engages the whole core muscles, but the lower abdomen gets much more activation. This helps you firm the lower abs and lose that saggy skin on the lower stomach.

Step 1

Lie on the floor with your feet together and your hands firmly on your sides.

Step 2

Lift your shoulders and both feet from the ground to activate core muscles. Press on your hands to have more balance.

Step 3

Alternate kicking your left and right foot. Feel the tension on your lower abs, thighs, quads, and hamstrings as you keep your knees straight.

Step 4

Do 20-30 repetitions and rest for 60-90 seconds. Repeat for 3-5 sets.

3. Plank Knee To Chest Twist

This is another abs workout at home that requires very little space. It may look easy, but it can be quite hard as you progress. The oblique abdominal muscles are quite small and a little difficult to develop. This plank knee to chest twist effectively targets the oblique muscles to make them stronger.

Assume the plank position with your feet and hands a little wider than your shoulders for more balance.

Step 2

Lift one foot and bring your knee to your chest as close as you can while you keep your core tight.

Step 3

Hold your knees in that position and twist to the side as if your knees will have a contact with the opposite elbow.

Step 4

Repeat with the other leg and alternate. Do 12-16 repetitions and take about a minute of rest. You can do 3-5 sets of this exercise.
