Best Lower Ab Exercises For Women At Home

Studies have revealed that women usually experience maximum fat deposits at the stomach, especially the lower stomach. While going on a diet allows one to lose weight, it may not always tone the body. This means that to get a flat stomach, you have to do the right exercises, along with following a low calorie diet. 

While getting a flatter stomach is easier for women who visit the gym regularly, things are slightly different, if you stay at home. You may not have expensive machinery that would help you to tone your body. However, you do not need to worry. You can still do certain exercises that would help you to lose the stomach flab and help you in getting tighter and toned abs. Learn more about these exercises.

Abdominal Hold

First, sit on the edges of a chair (ensure that it is sturdy). Now, pull in your stomach and lift your feet approximately 5 inches off the floor. At the same time, try to lift your hips off the chair.

You should use your hands for supporting your body. Hold on this position for at least 10 seconds and thereafter, lower yourself slowly. Repeat this exercise for 8-10 times.

The Climb Up

For doing this innovative exercise, first tie a scarf on the ball of your left foot and lie down on the floor. Keep your left leg at a 45 degree angle. Now, slowly lift your upper body off the floor by holding the scarf with your both hands.

Hold this position for at least 2 seconds or more if possible. Now, lower yourself slowly and take rest. Try to do 10 repetitions on both the legs.

The Cobra

For doing this exercise, you need to first lie down on your stomach and keep your hands near the chest. Now, slowly push your shoulders and chest in an upward direction.

Do not bend your legs. Hold on this position for 5-10 seconds and thereafter, slowly lower your body. If you want a slightly challenging exercise, attempt lifting your hips off the floor as well.

Single Leg Stretch

Lie down on the floor and keep your legs straight. Now, bend the right leg and push it towards your chest by using your hands. Meanwhile you should also lift your head off the floor.

Ideally, you should try to lift your leg at least 45 degrees from the floor. Hold on the position for few seconds and thereafter, slowly go back to your original position. Take rest and now, do the same exercise by switching the legs.

The Hundred

Lie down on the floor with your face facing upwards. Keep your hands near your sides, with the palms facing down. Next, take some deep breaths and try to raise your shoulders as well as your head off the floor.

Use your hands for lifting your body (but they should not touch your body). Stay in this position for few seconds and go back to the original position in a slow manner.
