Core Crusher: Intense Bodyweight Ab Workout for a Stronger Midsection

Gym | Single Workout | Beginner: 4 exercises

A strong core is essential for stability, balance, and overall fitness. This bodyweight ab workout is designed to strengthen your midsection with a combination of crunches, leg raises, and dynamic core movements. No equipment is needed—just your body weight and determination! Let's break down each exercise.

Start with "Floor Crunches," a classic movement that targets the upper abs. Focus on controlled movements, engaging your core as you lift your shoulders off the ground. Avoid using momentum and concentrate on squeezing your abdominal muscles at the top of the movement.

Next, challenge your obliques with "Elbow to Knee Side Plank Crunches." This exercise combines core stability with oblique activation, helping to carve out your waistline. Make sure to maintain proper side plank form, keeping your hips elevated and your core engaged throughout the movement.

"Criss Cross Leg Raises" further activate your lower abs. Perform slow, controlled movements while keeping your lower back pressed into the floor. The criss-cross motion engages the obliques, making this a complete core-strengthening exercise.

Finish strong with "Bent Legs Half Wipers," an excellent movement that improves core control and strengthens the lower abs and obliques. Keep your knees bent and move side to side in a slow, controlled manner, ensuring your core does most of the work.

By incorporating these ab exercises into your routine, you'll build core endurance, improve balance, and enhance overall athletic performance. Stay consistent, focus on proper form, and feel the burn!
