One of the things I love and dread at the same time is working out. I work out at home, because it is more convenient for me and fits my schedule and lifestyle. I switch up my workouts weekly and work out on weekdays. There are so many benefits to working on your core. The first one is, it can help with your back pain. I suffer from scoliosis, so anything to alleviate the pain i feel on a daily basis is a plus. Your abs support your spine, and the tilt of your pelvis. Therefore it controls you going forward and backward, if you lean either way to the extreme it can cause excess strain. You'll have a better posture, increase your metabolism and help carry you throughout the day. Which means that throughout the day your abs support your body, and if they aren't strong, other muscles kick in to help support you.
Here are my top 3 ab workouts
1. Crunches
I love these! there are so many different variations you can do which challenge you. I can always guarantee a burn when doing oblique crunches. they tone the rectus abdominus and oblique muscles.
You can the basic sit up, with your feet planted on the ground, or you can raise one leg off the ground. My favorite is having both legs raised off the ground, and crossing them.
2.V-Ups
When I first did these a few weeks ago, I hated these, but I have learned to love them. They burn! This is amazing because they work your entire mid section!
3. The teaser
This works your entire stomach area as well. As easy as this move appears to be, it is not.after 10 I am exhausted. I always start off slow and try to pick up the pace to make it more intense.
A lot of people believe that if you just do ab exercises you will get a flat tummy. I can tell you from experience, it flattens it a bit, and does tone it, but this alone will not decrease your tummy fat completely. You need to do a variation of exercises. whether it is lifting weights or doing cardio.
