What are the ways to exercise abdominal muscles?

Many friends will find when doing fitness exercises that the abdominal muscles are the most difficult part of the body to train, so they will exercise the abdomen every time they exercise. However, despite this, the effect of our abdominal muscles is not very satisfactory. Therefore, when practicing, we must pay attention to methods and long-term persistence. So what are the methods to exercise abdominal muscles? Let’s take a look at it below.

(1) Traditional crunch:

Lie on your back with your lower back flat on the floor. Place your hands beside your head and arms open. Lay your legs flat on the ground with your knees bent. Slightly pull your chin toward your chest, contract your abdominal muscles, exhale and lift your upper body, but your lower back should not leave the ground. Hold for 2 seconds, then slowly return to the starting position.

(2) Leg raise and abdominal crunch:

Lie on your back with your lower back flat on the floor. Place your hands beside your head and arms open. Lift your legs to 90 degrees with your upper body, cross your legs, and bend your knees slightly. Exhale, contract your abdominal muscles, lift your upper body, and keep your lower back off the ground. Hold for 2 seconds, then slowly return to the starting position. Be careful to keep your chin slightly tucked toward your chest.

(3) Reverse crunch:

Lie on your back on the floor with your lower back pressed against the ground, your hands on both sides of your body, your legs raised to 90 degrees to your upper body, your legs crossed, and your knees slightly bent. Tighten your abdominal muscles, then exhale and slightly lift your hips and lower back off the ground, hold for 2 seconds, then slowly return to the starting position.
