It is a common desire to want a strong, flat tummy. Doing just tummy exercises won't magically melt fat away, but they can help make your tummy muscles stronger. Nowadays, working out at home is really handy, and if you do the right exercises, you can make your tummy muscles stronger and maybe lose some fat too. In this article, we'll cover five good tummy exercises that you can try at home to help make your tummy muscles stronger and feel better.
Crunches
Lie down with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Put your hands behind your head or across your chest without pulling your neck. Lift your head, neck, and shoulders off the ground while exhaling. Breathe in as you lower back down without fully relaxing your core.
Planks
Start in a push-up position, arms straight under your shoulders. Keep your body in a straight line from head to heels. Hold this position as long as you can, increasing your time slowly.
Leg Raises
Lie on your back with hands by your sides or under your hips. Keep legs straight and lift them off the ground, together. Slowly lower legs down without touching the ground. Engage your core to protect your lower back.
Bicycle Crunches
Lie on your back, knees bent, hands behind your head. Lift head, shoulders, and feet off the floor. Bring your right elbow towards your left knee while extending your right leg. Alternate sides in a pedalling motion while twisting your torso.
Mountain Climbers
Start in a plank position, hands under shoulders. Alternate bringing your knees towards your chest like you're running. Keep your core tight and hips level.
Adding these five exercises to your home exercise routine can help you make progress in toning your tummy and strengthening your core. Keep at it, mix them with a healthy diet and other exercises, and you'll see results.
Remember to consult a fitness pro or doctor before starting new exercises, especially if you have health concerns. Take it slow, build up, and enjoy a stronger core over time!
