1. Russian Twists: with one leg extended, bring other knee to chest and touch it with opposite elbow. One on left side and one on right side makes 1 Rep...
2. Planks: There are regular planks and side planks. You can do modified planks (on your forearms, or use palm of hands and toes) hold for as long as you can *past 30 seconds*...note your improvement. I started at 30 seconds, and now I can hold 2+ minutes!
Side planks are shown in the bottom photo. Use your abs to hold your weight, stack your feet and lift your hips as high as you can without losing your balance.
4. Chair balance: These are my new favorites! I like to think of it as the "revamped planks" You will DEFINITELY feel the burn and the good thing about these are you can do them anywhere there is a chair :)
5. Hip Raises: For better balance, do these while holding on to something sturdy, a chair or a pole, or what have you. Start with legs straight out in front of you while laying in recumbent (flat on back) and lift legs straight up by lifting your hips completely off the ground.
When bringing them down, bend at knees but do not let hips contact the ground until you are done with exercise. Straighten legs again in air raising hips further off the ground. Do 3 sets of these
These are a few that you can do at home with no weights. I will be going to gym tonight to workout legs and abs! So post any questions or picture requests you have and I can take them tonight at gym! ...we will also show you ab and oblique workouts to do WITH weights

I really like the chair balance pose! Can't wait to try them all so I have a couple of questions how often do u train your abs? And also im trying to gain muscle what kinds of foods did you eat to help you gain muscle?
ReplyDeleteThat one is my new favorite too!! I do abs 2-3 days a week (not days in a row); I also have workouts with weights that I will put up here! But I eat more green veggies and lean meat...mainly baked, broiled, grilled chicken, and steak. I also drink Whey Protein AFTER my workout for recovery; it's best to drink 0-30 after your workout. I am working on an entry with more food ideas so keep asking questions so I can get you guys what you want! Good luck and have a HEALTHY DAY!!!!!
