Best Lower Ab Exercises (No equipment needed)

[su_box title=”One-Leg Stretch” style=”noise” box_color=”#fff” title_color=”#2e383f”]

• Lie on the floor face up. You’ll want your legs extended, with your arms resting at your side. Shoulders should be relaxed, and not hunched up at all.
• Contract your abdominals and raise your shoulder blades up off the ground while bringing your chin down towards your chest. At the same time, lift your right knee toward your chest, bending at the knee and hip. Your right hand will reach down to your right ankle, while the left hand will grasp the knee, pulling it in slightly. Straighten out the right leg, while simultaneously pulling the left leg up into the bent position, and reversing the position of your hands. One lift of each leg is one repetition.
• Remember to inhale as you lift the right leg, exhale with the left leg. Keep the extended leg a couple of inches off the ground, and keep your hips flat on the floor. Don’t forget to keep your shoulder blades off the floor, and your face looking forward, not toward the ceiling.
• Do 3 sets of 12-15 reps.[/su_box]
