If you want to have beautiful and strong core, you can do a lot for it at home. You do not need any machines or go to a gym. You do not even have to spend a lot of time and energy on the ab workout. There are many abdominal exercises for women that are not so hard but very effective. The video below contains some really great weight workouts you can do at home.

About these exercises

Generally, by doing this strength training you can train your entire core efficiently. You do not have to spend so much time with it, and as you see you do not need any special tools either.

Planks are great to train your whole midsection efficiently. It is necessary to keep the plank position as long as you can. If you have not done this ab exercise before try to do it at least 30 seconds. Try to concentrate on your muscles if you do not feel your muscles are working, you probably do this workout badly. Once you are familiar with plank, you can start doing it with leg raising. This will work your abs harder and at the same time trains your hamstrings, as well. You can combine these two exercises if you want.

The third abs workout is a real complex one which trains not only your abs, but also your hamstrings, shoulders, arms, lower back, hips and your chest. It’s important to keep your stability.

Reverse crunch is a great alternative for the common crunches. Many people do not like doing crunches because they feel pain in their lower back or in their neck. Reverse crunch is an easy way to work your upper and lower abdominals. Try to push yourself as high as possible and squeeze your muscles.

Bicycling on the floor and leg raising are also useful to train your whole core, but concentrate on your abdominals, simply do not use your leg muscles.

Basic crunches are good to tone your abdominals, but it is really important to do it correctly. You should squeeze your ab muscles and keep your lower back on the floor. Use your muscles to push yourself up and do not pull your neck with your hand.

To get the best results do these abdominal exercises for women at least 2-3 times a week, but as you get used to them you can do them four or five times. Try to do at least 12 – 15 repetitions per abs workout.
