Complete Abdominal & Core Home Workout – Week 1, Day 2

This is a good home workout for the entire core of the body – abdominal, oblique and lower back muscles.  The workout is suitable for beginners and intermediates and it will help you tone and develop the muscles.  This routine is especially good because it targets the whole abdominal area – upper abs, middle abs and lower ab muscles.  Also, this home routine will help you lose fat from your tummy and the whole core.  Workout duration should be under 25 minutes. 

Before commencing any resistance training routine a warm up is required. At least 5 minutes of aerobic exercise should be done before you carry out this home workout. For suggestions please see our ‘Home Aerobic Exercise‘ page. The rest period between each core exercise should be 30 seconds. Always carry out as many exercise repetitions as you feel comfortable doing and without compromising the technique. If you can not do the recommended number of repetitions for an exercise, carry out as many repetitions as you can. If you find that you can easily do the maximum number of repetitions, keep on going, still try to do as many as comfortably possible. Also it is very important to make sure your technique is at it’s best – you must be working/using ONLY the targeted area, each exercise repetition should take a minimum of 5 seconds to perform and NEVER lose the tension in the targeted muscles i.e. no resting/stopping until you finish the exercise.
