After 20+ years as a personal trainer, without a doubt one of the most-asked questions by my clients is “Sam, how can I tone my stomach and get great abs?”.
Yep, everyone wants a toned midsection and washboard abs, so I’m going to show you my favourite ab workouts that will tone your stomach and uncover those abs, plus I’ll let you in on a few tips to fast-track your fitness results!
Having a strong core means more than just being able to show off rock-hard abs (not that there’s anything wrong with showing off your hard work!). When you have strong, flexible core muscles your body is better able to perform almost every daily physical activity, from a fast home workout right through to safely lugging your shopping out of your car! I’d love you to try some of my favourite ab workouts you can quickly do at home.
This simple home abs workout is perfect if you’re new to exercise.
Abs workout to tone your stomach at home
We’ll be doing 3 rounds of 7 exercises, and this routine will help you strengthen your core and build your abdominal muscle strength safely.
Do each exercise for 30 seconds on, followed by 30 seconds rest.
Swing sit-ups (30 seconds)
Kayak (30 seconds)
Plank (30 seconds)
Bird dogs (30 seconds)
High knees (30 seconds)
Shadow boxing (30 seconds)
Shoulder touches in push-up position (can be modified on knees) (30 seconds)
Note: If you can’t quite manage to finish 3 rounds at this intensity, don’t feel discouraged, the key to getting fitter isn’t about achieving some kind of perfection, it’s about making progress. Simply increase the rest time between exercises to 40 seconds and you’ll make it through. Trust me, I’ve helped over a million
Aussies get fitter at home, so I know it won’t take long before you find your physical strength and endurance has improved more than you thought it could!
