Circle crunches:
Crunches have been proven the best workout for abdominal. Many trainers also advice crunches for losing belly fat at home. Circle crunches are one of the best ab exercises. It is really easy to do. All you need to do is, lie on the floor with knees bend, hands tied on the back of the head and your feet full flat on the floor. Now, slowly get up and start crunching by moving to your left then moving to your right and then again lay down on the ground. While performing these circular crunches, your torso must be followed in a circular motion. Two or three sets of 10 to 15 repetitions must be done every day. For better results, circular crunches must be done in both clockwise and anticlockwise.
Upright twists:
For upright twists, you need to lay down on a floor with both your knees joined together and the heels must be elevated a little off the floor. Now, slowly start crunching up by lifting your left elbow towards your right knee and then the same thing must be repeated by lifting the right elbow towards the left knee. This is how it is done. After both the knees are touched with the elbows, very slowly lay back on the floor. Every day, three sets of 10 repetitions should be done of upright twists.
Reverse crunches:
This is another type of performing crunches. Just lay down on the ground with the legs in a position like tabletop and your hands behind your head. You don’t need to move your upper body in this workout. All you need to do is, tighten the muscles of your lower abs and then start lifting your hips off the ground by pulling your knees in an inward direction. When the knees reaches to a height near your chest, pause the legs right there for five seconds, then slowly let your butt go down to the floor again. You must repeat three sets of 15 to 20 repetitions of reverse crunches every day.
