Hi guys! Here are some of my favorite ab exercises! Some you can do at home and some in the gym!


Hanging Leg raises at the gym- with upper arms firmly in the slings, bring your knees up to your elbows in a slow manner, using your core to crunch the lower body up and to prevent swinging!



Sit-ups with feet on a physioball



Side sit-ups on ball



Jack Knife on ball- physioball tuck

This exercise is advanced and requires you to have excellent balance and core strength.






v-sits or 'teasers' in Pilates

You can do this modification or put your hands in the air toward your feet or on the floor behind your lower back.




Side planks

You can progress this by moving your hip close to the floor and then returning to the starting position.



Medicine ball twists

Maintain a tight core and twist holding ball from side to side




When we work the abs we want to also work the lower back.

Back extensions on the ball. With hips on the ball, bend your body down and extend back up to a neutral spine position. Do not over extend.




Have fun and be safe!! Feel free to send me a message.
