Exercises that you can do at home part 1

  Del.icio.us Digg Slashdot

There are quite a few training exercises that you can do at home without additional equipment.

Crunches. Crunches will help define your midsection and give you more strength in your core. And you can do cruches anywhere you have room to lay on your back. You can raise both knees, and alternate one leg straight and one leg bent. A good starting routine that will leave your abs aching is as follows:

- 10 crunches with both knees bent.
- 10 crunches with left leg straight right leg bent.
- 10 crunches with right leg straight left leg bent.

To work the side of your abdomen, do the following:
laying on your back, put one leg straight, and one knee bent. Now lean that leg over the other one and keeping your back straight raise your upper body like you would while doing a crunch. Repeat 10 times and then switch legs.

Another ab exercise that I belive works well: While laying on your back, lift both legs straight in the air so that your body is at a 90 degree angle. Now lower one leg so that your heel is almost touching the ground while keeping the other leg straight up in the air. Bring the lowered leg back up and then lower the other leg. Repeat 10 times.

Part 2 will have upper body exercises.
