1.
Go old school and do some crunches.
It's one of the most widely used exercise methods and quite a number of people pay thousands for gym memberships just so that they can use equipments to aid this exercise.
Well guess what, you can do it for free in your living room.
All you've got to do is get into some comfortable workout clothes and get ready for a good workout.
To begin, start by lying flat on the floor then raise your knees with your feet firmly on the ground.
Place your hands by your ears, lightly touching them and keeping them in place.
To get started on the exercise, pull your abdominal muscles by lifting your upper body off the floor and towards your knee.
To know that you're doing this the correct way, your chest should be headed in the direction of your bent knees.
Hold the position for two seconds then return to your original position on the floor and repeat.
To gain maximum results from this exercise, when lifting yourself off the floor, try to get your left elbow to touch your right knee and then your right elbow to touch your left knee.
Do this ten times in a set and repeat the set five times.
As you gain familiarity with this exercise, you should be able to increase the number of repetitions and sets.
Do note that throughout this exercise, your head shouldn't touch the floor, only your back is against the floor.
It might be a little tough to do at the beginning so don't give up.
After all, no pain, no gain! 3.
The all time favorite, lunges.
This workout rocks because it focuses on building muscles and giving you great lower body strength as well.
It's a fairly simple workout, once you master it you can make it more challenging through variation.
To begin this workout, get into the starting position by standing with one leg forward and the other behind, it's called a split stance position.
Once you're in position, bend your knees slowly and get into a lunge like position, pretend like you're about to lunge forward to grab something, only do it slowly so as to not pull a muscle or hurt yourself.
When you've lowered yourself into a lunge position, keep your knees at 90 degrees.
By placing the weight of your body on your heels, push yourself back up to your original standing position, making sure to do it slowly.
It's important that you do not rush this exercise because you can easily hurt yourself when starting new and the slowness helps contract and expand your muscles.
Repeat this exercise 15 times in a set, starting with one set and increase sets as you get better.
