Keeping the muscles in your midsection fit is so important.
According to Gresham, kicking things off with a standing ab exercise will activate your abdominal muscles and bring your heart rate up. This will contribute to your overall calorie burn.
While doing this exercise, note that you'll want to be sure your hips don't move a ton. The main focus is on your abs. At the same time, Gresham says that in order to increase your heart rate, you'll want to up the"tempo" of the movement.Next, Gresham says that building strength and stability will tighten up and tone your core in this exercise. Assume a pushup plank by putting your hands under your chest and pulling your abdominals in.
While that will give your abs a good workout, that's not where this exercise ends. Gresham says that once you've completed 10 crunches, you'll want to hold your head up and"slowly lift your hips up to the sky by pulling in the lower abs." Using tiny and controlled movements, repeat this 10 times.
