What are the exercises to train abdominal muscles?

Abdominal muscle training is an indispensable part of fitness exercise. Nowadays, gyms have relatively complete equipment and there are many ways to exercise the abdominal muscles. Male friends who want to exercise their abdominal muscles can choose a suitable exercise method according to their own situation and time, but persistence is the only way. So what are the exercises for training abdominal muscles? Let’s take a look at the introduction below!

To touch your ankles, lie on the floor or mat, then lift your legs, bend them slightly, lift your upper body so that your fingertips can touch your ankles, quickly lower your body, stand up again to touch your ankles, and repeat the above steps.

1. Make sure your arms are straight, with your fingertips reaching your ankles. This movement should be done at a certain speed. Count silently in your mind. Generally, it takes 1 second to complete one movement. One movement is from your fingertips to your ankles and then back to the original position. Do this for 20 seconds, then rest for 10 seconds.

2. Lie on the floor or mat with your legs raised up, legs slightly bent, and arms on the ground. Then stretch your legs up, drive your body upward, lift your hips about 30 degrees off the ground, lower yourself, and repeat. Use the strength of your legs to lift your body up, while your abdomen is pulled and stressed, which is very helpful for abdominal muscle training.

3. Pull to the left and right sides. Lie on the floor or mat, bend your legs, keep the soles of your feet as close to the ground as possible, lift your neck and head slightly, and place your arms straight on both sides of your waist. Then pull to the side with one hand, recover, and switch to the other direction. This exercise is very challenging for your abdominal muscles. It will be very painful when you first start doing it because your abdominal muscles are not used to it. Depending on your situation, you can do two fewer sets at the beginning.

4. Twist your arms and upper body to one side until your right hand can touch your right foot. Then return to the original position and change to the other direction.

The movements introduced above can all help exercise your abdominal muscles. Friends who love fitness may wish to try them. It is worth noting that no matter what kind of exercise method is used to train abdominal muscles, it cannot be achieved overnight. The hard work that people with six-pack abs put in private is also unknown.
