It doesn’t matter whether it’s in the morning after getting up, before work, in the evening, or in front of the TV – EVERYONE has 10 minutes a day for a short abdominal workout! The problem with classic abdominal exercises is often that they unfortunately only strengthen one-sided or superficially – without any deep effect.
All surrounding muscles must be trained for a flat stomach. Daily 10 minutes is enough. But only if you work hard. We’ll show you the best abs exercises.
Abdominal exercises to do at home
Do the abdominal exercises in sets of 12 repetitions each. For example, one set of snap jumps, pause, another set, pause, another set (depending on endurance). Then move on to the next exercise. It is best to do a 10-minute workout four times a week.
Don’t forget to watch your diet too. Diet is crucial as it helps us in getting a flat stomach. Abdominal muscles are formed through exercise, but diet is the key factor. This is what decides whether your six-pack is covered by a layer of fat or not.
