Push-ups

Push-ups have been associated with traditional workouts for ages to train pectoral muscles, core muscles, triceps, and deltoids. You can achieve multiple objectives by adopting push-ups as a regular part of the workout. 

• Begin by placing your palms on the floor and keeping your body in the position of a high plank. Do not bend in your knees as you stretch your shoulders.
• Lower your body by bending at elbow joints. You may drop to your knees if required.
• Push your palms down to return to a high plank position.
• Remember to keep your legs straight throughout this exercise. 

Reverse crunch

This abs workout at home is essentially aimed at training the core. 

• Bring your knees together as you lie down on the floor in a prone position.
• Keep your legs bent at the right angle while keeping your feet fixed on the floor. 
• Your palms need to be placed behind you with the face of palms kept on the floor. 
• Pull your knees upwards in one jerk to bring them near your chest by simultaneously lifting the pelvis. 
• Feel the squeezing effect of the lift around the abdomen. 
• Come back to the original position in a slow movement. 
• This needs to be repeated at least twenty times without placing your feet on the floor. 

Shoulder Tapping

This is a very simple exercise to strengthen your core besides triceps and deltoid muscles. This needs to be done repetitively for at least one minute. 

• Get into a high plank position and keep your palms flat on the floor directly below your shoulders in a vertical position.
• By engaging the core and gluteal muscles keep both legs extended.
• Now lift your left hand and lightly tap the right shoulder while balancing the entire weight of the body on both feet and the right hand.
• Repeat the same procedure by lifting your right hand to tap the left shoulder. 

Side Planks

This is nothing but a traditional plank, but with a twist. This abs workout benefits core and the lower back. Several studies have confirmed that Side Planks can mitigate pain in the lower back. 

• By lying on the left side of your body lift the entire weight on the left forearm that is extended away from the length of your body in a perpendicular direction of the body.
• Keep the legs straight as your forearm bears the weight.
• Keep your right hand on the right side of your body in a parallel position. 
• Stay in the same position and breathe slowly and deeply. 
• Repeat these steps by using the right forearm while lying on the right side of your body. 

Side plank and twist

• Side planks are extremely important if you are focusing on core exercises. If you have enjoyed doing side planks, then adding a twist will make it more dynamic. 
• Prop your body on the left forearm while keeping your legs straight. 
• Focus on the core and by squeezing the abdominal and gluteal muscles lift your body and position the right hand in a bent position behind the head. 
• Maintain the same position as you bring your bent right hand to meet the left hand which is balancing the body weight. 
• During the movement, make sure that you are also rotating the torso in a rhythmic movement without letting your hips drop.
• Repeat this on either side for one minute.

The crunch

The classic exercise of crunching is especially aimed at abdominal muscles that form a major portion of the core. Crunches are also beneficial for training the muscles in the lower back, hips, and pelvic region. Crunching is a great routine for comprehensive training of stabilizing muscles of the body.

• Lie in a prone position on the floor by bending your knees and firmly positioning your feet on the floor. 
• Keep both the hands either behind your head by locking the fingers or on the chest in a crossed position. 
• Prop up your shoulders while pressing the lower back on the floor and contracting the muscles in your abdomen. 
• Make sure that your feet provide robust support during the lift.
• Focus should be on the abdominal muscles.
• Remain in the propped-up position for a few seconds.
• Gently lower yourself back to the original position. 
• Repeat the same twenty times for the best results.

Boat pose

This is straight from the ancient practice of Yogasana and is known as Naukasana meaning, the position of a boat. Boat pose targets the core and is a wonderful yet simple exercise to train abdominal muscles, trunk, and hips.

• While in a sitting position, keep your feet flat on the floor with bent knees.
• Prop up the legs slowly till they are making an angle of forty-five degrees with your torso. 
• Keeping the legs straight, lift your arms to be parallel to the floor.
• Make sure that your body is bent in forty-five degrees as you reach the ultimate position of the boat pose. If you are not comfortable, you may bend your knees a bit during the initial phase. 
• Keep this posture for about a minute.
