Beginner Abs & Back


The following exercises are basic moves targeting the abs and back. Always avoid any exercises that cause pain and, if you feel lower back strain, modify the move to a comfortable range of motion or place a rolled up towel under your hips to support your lower back.

  • Check with your doctor if you have any injuries or medical conditions
  • Warm up with some light cardio before this workout
  • Perform each exercise for at least 1 set of 10-16 reps.
  • Do each exercise slowly and focus on good form for each rep
Crunches
Lie on your back with your hands crossed across your chest or with your fingers on the sides of your head. Place your feet on the floor with legs bent. To begin the exercise, lift your torso, lifting shoulder blades off the floor and crunching your rib cage towards your lower belly. Hold for two counts, then lower slowly to the starting position. Repeat.
