Abdominal Exercises You Can Do at Home

A super busy lifestyle means that you can’t always make it to the gym – but at-home workouts don’t always have to be a drag. You can work out your core and build a good set of abs in the process by working out in your bedroom, living room, or anywhere in your home.

Twisting Side Plank

Your side abs will look better than ever with this twisting side plank. Come into a side plank on your right side, with your feet stacked one on top of the other and your weight on your right elbow with your fingers reaching away from your body, palms down. Place your left arm behind your head, and inhale to prepare. Exhale and pull your navel to your spine to engage your deep abs, and rotate your left rib cage toward the floor. Stay there for a second, and deepen your abdominal connection by pulling your navel in toward your spine even more. Return to starting position, and repeat seven more times for a total of eight reps, then switch sides. Repeat series again on both sides.
