A Killer Ab Workout You Can Do At Home

Think you don't have enough time to exercise? Think again - if you have five minutes of spare time, you can train your abs with this quick home ab workout.

Start the workout by performing a Plank. To perform the Plank, get yourself into a Push-Up position on your forearms. Make sure that if you were looking at yourself in a mirror, there would be a straight line from your ankles, knees, hips and shoulders. Think about tightening up the abs, the glutes, and the quads. This is a fantastic core strengthening exercise, but you must take care to get the technique right to protect yourself from injury. Hold this Plank position for :30 seconds.

Follow the Planks with a simple Floor Crunch. Start the Floor Crunch by lying on your back on the floor with your legs bent at about 90 degrees and feet planted on the ground. Now, think about pushing your lower back into the ground and bringing your sternum and belly button together. Focus on quality over quantity - get a great contraction in those abs. Do 15 repetitions. If you're getting great, high quality reps, those abs should be blasted by the time you reach fifteen reps. Once you're done with this sequence, start back over again and repeat two more times for a total of three sets of each exercise.

If you're pressed for time, this quick ab workout you can do at home will get those abs burning. The combo of Planks and Floor Crunches is a basic and effective workout that can be performed anywhere. Train hard and good luck getting those abs in shape!
