Three Abdominal Exercises That Will Give You A Great Workout

The pictures I have included show how these exercises could be done if you have access to some gym equipment, either at home or in a gym. But you do not need this equipment and the pictures are only there to give you a better idea of how to do the excercises.

Let's make a start.

For all the excercises, if you have the equipment, read the following and use the equipment as shown in the pictures.

Otherwise you can follow the instructions below, using the pictures to see what you need to do.

There are two ways of trying this exercise.

(a) If you're reasonably fit, you might be able to start as shown, simply rest with your hands on the floor instead of the dumbells.

Start in the press up position and then raise one hand to your side, resting on the other hand. Return your raised hand to the floor and then repeat with your other hand.

REPEAT 3 OR 4 TIMES.

OR

(b) If you're perhaps not so fit, instead of starting with your hands on the floor, start with your hands on the seat of a chair or setee. Then continue as above.

REPEAT 3 OR 4 TIMES.

Rest for about 30 seconds before attempting the next exercise.

Instead of holding the barbells in your arms, simply place your right hand on your left shoulder, place your left hand on your right shoulder. Then, pointing your elbows straight out in front of you, do 3 or 4 squats, returning to a standing position each time.

Rest for about 30 seconds before attempting the next exercise. 

For this, use the positions you used in exercise one.

Start in the push up position and then shuffle your feet in and out so that your feet move in under your chest and then back out to the starting position. If you want an advanced version, you can also shuffle your hands 8-10 inches forward and backward in addition to the leg movements.

Continue for 30 seconds, rest for 30 seconds.

Repeat for about 2 minutes.

Rest for about 1 or 2 minutes before repeating the whole set of three excercises.

Do about 3 or 4 complete sets.

Remember, however, to listen to your body. If it is telling you not to continue, then don't continue and rest!

If you can manage this set of exercises once a day, you'll soon see a difference in your fitness and body shape!
