Best Ab Exercises For Women
Get Beach Ready: All Abs Workout
As bikini season draws near, let me remind you: it is time to draw your navel to your spine and work your abs. Here are nine great exercises for toning your midsection. Remember, the ol' Pilates trick of pulling the belly button in ensures that you're working the deepest ab muscle (known as the transverse), which helps create a sleek midriff.
The exercises are divided into three sections: upper abs, obliques, and lower abs. You can approach this workout three different ways: pick one exercise from each section and perform two to three sets, pick two exercises from each section and do one to two sets, or for the ultimate boredom buster, do one set of all nine exercises.
Combining these exercises with regular cardio and clean eating, and incorporating these flat-belly foodsinto your diet will get your belly beach ready.
Here is a printable PDF of the workout to take to the gym or tape to your fridge to remind you to stop neglecting your middle.
