594189 tn?1386916607 It takes some practice to isolate your abs and NOT use your neck to raise yourself, but I taught seniors to do this. The other way to work abs from a chair is to sit back in the chair, once again with your back straight as a board and your bottom toward the edge of the chair. Slowly and with control, raise your legs and lower them. Do not drop them. CONTROL. Just don't over-do any of it. If you work shoulders one day, do arms the next.
Avatar f tn I have 2 favorites in mind: planks and Abdominal Hold. The usage of a timer in these exercises give me an incentive to try and beat my previous attempt or workout. Planks are common to people, but abdominal hold is fairly new to me. It involves you sitting tall on a sturdy chair. Place your hands on the edge with your fingers pointing towards you knees. Tighten your abs, bring your toes 2-4 inches off the foor, and lift your butt off the chair. Hold that position for as long as you can.

Avatar n tn Does anyone know of low impact exercises I can do that won't further cause my left knee pain. I am disabled because of osteoarthritis in my knees and spine. Thanks!
Avatar f tn Instead of just working the upper abs, do exercises that do the whole core in order to promote equal dimensions . Some exercises include leg raises, jacknifes, Swiss ball side crunches, side bends, Swiss ball crunches and hanging leg raises. The Swiss ball will use more ab muscles. Do each one of the exercises consecutively for 15 to 20 reps with no rest in between. Then take a 60-second break and do them all again. Repeat the whole circuit four to six times.
Avatar f tn Every ab workout should include back exercises. Some ab exercises already engage back muscles such as planks or Pilates. Exercises that target the back include the lumbar extension, which involves laying prone on the floor or a ball, and lifting your head and shoulders by using your back muscles. You can have your hands on the floor or ball for support, but don't use them to push. Bird-dog is another effective back exercise.
Avatar n tn I think you need to strengthen and build muscles for your lower back and legs a by some exercises such as upper abs half crunches[not lower abs], superman exercise, one leg raise exercise straight, right sided and left sided, squats but with straight back. Stretching is very important if you ask me.
Avatar f tn Abs aren't really the core -- those are the muscles beneath the ones you can see. The only way you're going to get there is to work hard at training. Do you have access to a good personal trainer? Also remember that women have a harder time getting the definition men can get because of lower testosterone. When you see anyone, though, with those really tight abs they either work incessantly at it or they're taking steroids, especially the women.
703362 tn?1427766328 We have had quite a few questions lately regarding exercises to target belly fat, so this morning I thought that it might be helpful to post an exercise that works with that region directly. Please do keep in mind that overall weight loss will be the most effective means of slimming this area, but targeted exercises are a great way to tone up the core muscles that are lying just beneath the surface waiting to shine through.

Avatar f tn Use the exercise ball to do crunches for your abs, planks for your core and shoulder bridge exercises to work your butt and hamstrings. If you don't want your office to be filled with exercise equipment or you can't invest the cash, do planks and pushups for your upper body, lunges and squats for your lower body, and crunches such as the bicycle crunch and reverse crunch for your core.
Avatar f tn Repeat the motion on the right side. Work up to two to three sets of this movement. Aim to tone the abs at least two times a week. Leave a day in between muscles strengthening sessions to allow abdominal muscles to rest. The pelvic tilt is another exercise that strengthens the love handle area. Lie flat on the floor with your knees bent a little. Slowly lift your buttocks towards the ceiling, contracting the abdominal muscles. Hold the movement for 10 seconds and repeat.
Avatar n tn To tone muscles around thigh and the stomach regular low grade exercises that target the region are best recommended. Aside classic abs exercises, straight leg lifts and side leg lifts would also be beneficial. Hope this helps. Take care!
Avatar n tn There are a million ab exercises. You can probably find a bunch on You Tube, but because so many people want a flatter tummy in our society ab exercises are everywhere. If you belong to a gym just watch people work out and see all the different ab exercises going on. They even have classes just for working the abs. But as for quick, for most people nothing happens quickly. It takes work and dietary changes and that takes time.
Avatar f tn So...I need a list of exercises for abs (to lose some fat and accentuate the muscles, I expecially need to accentuate lateral abdominals); to lose the fat under my arms; for legs (expecially thighs, I need to lose fat AND muscular mass)...could you help me? Please specify the name of the exercises and the number of times and repetitions...thank you!
Avatar n tn Just wondering how do u tighten your lower abs cause crunches do the upper but not so much the lower,
Avatar n tn Ok, so this is kinda of hard to explain, but if you work out, before you lose the weight, i know obviously the fat has to go first , but after you do the workout everyday and then run evrryday aswell and eat properly, will your abs come through after all the workout, when you lose the fat? Or, is it a waste of time? Need an answer!
Avatar f tn I feel abs are made in the kitchen. What are you eating?
Avatar f tn s say my water breaks in March.
Avatar f tn Squats and lunges and step--up exercises. It is very important to do these exercises correctly to get the effect and protect your back, so working with a personal trainer will help you the most. But the trouble is they always suggest squats and lunges and people don't want to do them. There is no avoiding them.
5580555 tn?1370292870 Hi didi722, I just finished reading your comments. Is it a sort of sucking noise? I think it happened to me once. By abs exercise, do you mean sit ups, by any chance ? You say you exercise with your team. Would this be at school in a gymnasium for instants? If you and your team put on exercise music and put the music on rather loud, perhaps that would mask the annoying noises you talk about.
Avatar m tn If you want to see your abs you have to do exercises that target your abs. You are not overweight at all. Loosing weight won't help you achieve your goal.
Avatar n tn I want to workout my abs and thighs. Any workouts that you have in mind to help me workout?
Avatar m tn Hi people, everyone has concerns about the well being of their child I too have some. Lately, he is getting mad to get the abs (six pack abs as they call it). I don’t think that this is something bad but the ways he is trying is a bit crazy. He believes all that is being told to him and I can’t figure out how he can get them without training the right way with the right exercises.
1292438 tn?1276120904 Before you do any rotational exercises, brace your abs forcefully—as if you’re about to be punched in the gut—and hold them that way as you do the movement. This limits your range of motion and helps to keep you from rotating excessively at your lower spine. Abs: Mountain Climber with Hands on Swiss Ball The benefit: It’s one of the simplest yet most effective ways to tighten your tummy. In fact, you’ll barely have to move a muscle.
