7 Easy Exercises to Build Stomach Muscles

Welcome Tips 7 Easy Exercises to Build Stomach Muscles

Have you tried abdominal exercises but without success? These movements hurt your back and don’t give any results? However, you are motivated to strengthen your abs because you would like to find a flat and toned stomach? Don’t panic! There are abdominal exercises for beginners that allow you to tone your stomach gently.

1 – PLANK ON THE FLOOR, FRONT GAINAGE WITH SUPPORT ON THE ELBOWS

The plank is a great exercise to keep your stomach flat and increase the strength of your deep, stabilizing muscles. Be sure to keep your buttocks aligned with your lower back for maximum effectiveness.

2 – SCISSORS

This one may seem relatively difficult at first but with practice it burns your abs a little less!

As in the previous exercise, the muscles are here used in static contraction, in their role of stabilizing the abdomen-lumbar region.

3 – LEG LIFT

Difficulty: Medium

Works: Rectus abdominis and transverse abdominis muscles

Directions: The back should remain glued to the ground and not form a hollow. Place the hands under the buttocks if necessary.

4 – THE BICYCLE

This exercise is so popular because it works both the upper and lower abdominal muscles. It also has the advantage of working the leg muscles. You must lie on the ground and lift your right shoulder towards the opposite knee, then alternate.

Instructions: Do 3 sets of 24 reps (12 on each side).

5 – THE PELVIS SURVEY

The pelvic lift will help you work the muscles located in the lower part of the abdominal belt. To do this, lie on your back with your legs slightly bent and your arms at your sides. Contract your abs while exhaling to lift your pelvis and glutes off the ground.

6 – DOG-BIRD BOARD

Start in a tabletop position (on all fours).

Facing the floor with your neck in a neutral position, extend your right leg behind you and your left arm in front (both should be parallel to the floor).

Hold the position for a few seconds and return to the starting position.

Do the movement with the opposite leg and arm.

Do 12 reps on each side.

7 – MOUNTAIN CLIMBER

Elbow/knee touch, the dynamic abs exercise

To lose belly fat and gain abdominal muscles, you can try the elbow/knee touch. To perform this exercise:

• Get into the same position as you would for a crunch.
• Place your hands on your temples and draw your knees towards you.
• Raise your torso, trying to touch your knee with the opposite elbow.
