Tired of having a bulging tummy? Why don’t you lie on your back and get ready for some abs exercises? A piece of advice, though: these exercises won’t guarantee a flat tummy in just one shot. It requires discipline both in what you eat and how often you exercise. Nevertheless, these exercises help speed up metabolism and build muscles.
The bicycle exercise is the easiest and most effective abs exercise since it doesn’t only target the rectus abdominis, but also the obliques. This workout helps you achieve super sexy six-pack and curves. First, you have to lie on your back. Make sure you lie on something flat yet comfortable, such as a mat. Interlock your fingers behind your head for support, and to avoid neck injuries. Slowly bring your right knee toward your chest, while lifting your left shoulder blade off the ground. Straighten the other leg out to make a 45-degree angle. Do this simultaneously, in such a way that your left knee meets your right elbow. It’s like you’re pedaling. Keep doing this for 12-16 repetitions.
