The 15-minute abs workout

The 15-minute abs workout
Strengthen your core muscles with these easy to follow exercises

Twisting Shoulder Press
Targets: Deltoids, Trapezius, Obliques
1] Hold dumbbells outside your shoulders at jaw level, palms facing in. Press the dumbbells overhead as you twist your torso to the left.
2] Lower the dumbbells as you twist back to the centre, then press upwards again while twisting to the right. Do six repetitions in each direction.

Dumbbell Swing
Targets: Gluteals, Hamstrings, Lower Back, Deltoids
1] Stand holding a dumbbell with a hand-over-hand grip at arm's length in front of your waist. Bend at your knees and waist (keep your back flat) until your upper body is about 45 degrees from vertical and the dumbbell is between your knees.
2] Swing the dumbbell up and directly over your head (as if you were lifting an axe) as you straighten your knees and back and push your hips forwards.
3] Pause, then lower the dumbbell back to the starting position and repeat. Do eight repetitions.

Overhead Lunge
Targets: Whole Lower Body, Shoulders, Obliques
1] Hold a medicine ball at arm's length over your head, your feet hip-width apart and your knees slightly bent.
2] Step forwards with your left foot and lower your body so that your left lower leg is perpendicular to the floor and your left thigh is parallel to the floor. At the same time, keep your arms straight and lower the medicine ball to your right until it's even with your left thigh.
3] Return to the starting position by pushing off your left leg and raising the medicine ball back over your head. Repeat, stepping forwards with your right leg. Do a total of 12 repetitions, six for each leg, alternating legs
each time

Additional Note ~ Perform this workout 2 or 3 days a week, resting for at least 1 day between sessions. Do the exercises one after another in circuit fashion, resting 15 seconds after each exercise. When you've completed one set of each, rest 1 minute, then repeat the sequence two more times.

===================================================================

Flatten your belly
Cut to the core in 15 minutes

Every move in this workout strengthens the muscles of your abs, back, and hips. But this core routine also loosens your hamstrings, lower back, calves, hip flexors, and other areas, so you'll finish feeling stronger and stretched. Perform the workout as a circuit, moving from one exercise to the next without rest. Pause 60 to 90 seconds after each circuit, and do three circuits in all. Do the workout 3 days a week, taking at least a day off between workouts.

PIKE WALK
TO START
Flatten your hands
Stand with your legs straight and your hands flat on the floor. (You'll probably need to begin with your hands a couple of feet in front of you).

THE MOVE
Walk your hands
Keeping your legs straight, walk your hands forward as far as possible. Concentrate on keeping your stomach tight, with your navel pulled in toward your pelvis. Then take tiny steps to walk your feet forward to your hands, ending in the starting position.
Repeat the movement for a set of five repetitions.

STRAIGHT ARM SIDE BRIDGE
TO START
Lie on your side
Lie on your left hip with the outer side of your left leg flat on the floor and your upper body propped up on your left arm. (The arm should be straight, palm on the floor.)

THE MOVE
Raise your hips
Pushing against the floor with your left arm, raise your hips and legs off the floor and simultaneously lift your right arm straight up in the air so your body forms a T. Hold for a second, then lower your hips and right arm.
Do six repetitions per side.

GLUTE BRIDGE WITH ABDUCTION
TO START
Lie down
Lie on your back with your knees bent, feet flat on the floor.

THE MOVE
Raise up
Raise your hips so your lower back is off the floor. Then, holding this bridge position, straighten your right leg and move it out to the side as far as possible. (Don't let your hips drop.) Slowly bring the leg back in, lower your foot to its starting position, and slowly lower your hips to the floor.
Do six repetitions to each side.

HINDU PUSHUP
TO START
Heel
Start with your feet shoulder-width apart and your bum high in the air. Look back at your heels.

THE MOVE
Legs straight

Bend your arms at the elbows, moving your head toward the ground while keeping your legs straight. Then lower your hips (but don’t allow them to touch the floor) as you push up with your arms. Finish with your head up and your back arched.
Do eight to 10 repetitions.

===========================================================================
