Crunches
Begin your abs workout for beginners with gentle crunches to target your upper abdominals. Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Place your hands lightly behind your head for support, but avoid pulling on your neck. Engage your core as you lift your shoulders off the ground, aiming to bring your shoulder blades a few inches off the floor. Lower back down with control and repeat.
Plank
Next up, let’s work on your core stability with a modified plank hold. Start by kneeling on the ground, then lean forward to place your hands on the floor shoulder width apart. Extend your legs behind you, resting on your toes. Your body should form a straight line from your head to your heels. Hold this position, focusing on keeping your core engaged and your hips level. Aim to hold for 20-30 seconds, gradually increasing as you get stronger.
