5 ab exercises from Yasmin Karachiwala
1. Turn your body to twist
The first step is to lie on the mat with your arms above your head. After that, you stand up and then twist your body by pulling the left knee and your right elbow together. In the next set turn the other direction using the opposite knee and elbow. Involve your abs with each sit-up since it is a quality over quantity’ exercise. However, you must do at minimum 15 repetitions per side!
Before we get to the next ab workout for abs, here’s some ‘gyaan’ research to help you. A study published in 2016 suggests that women who could perform sit-ups were
less likely to suffer from the loss of muscle mass due to age.
2. Supine kick ups
Have you ever heard that the word supine translates to “facing upwards” while lying down? This is the position you have to lay down in to perform this ab workout. These kick-ups don’t just be one of the most effective abdominal exercises, they also challenge you lower back muscles as well as the hamstrings. Make sure to keep your hands on the floor and your butt off the floor when you do the kick-up. After the kick-up then bend your knees making sure your calves are parallel to the floor and then rest your tush on the mat.

3. Side plank twist
If you hear “ab-workout,” an exercise like a plank may be the first exercise that comes to thoughts. This is not surprising. Planks will tighten your core muscles as many other exercises will. In this variation of the plank, Karachiwala starts off with one forearm, and another foot down on the mat. The other foot is placed over the one lying sitting on the mat. This way you’ll be able to shift your weight around your forearm and your foot. When you are doing the final step, ensure that your arm is straight towards the side perpendicular to your body. Turn your torso in a twist and then curl your arm backwards like you’re in a hug with the air around you.
Involving your side in the plank twist at minimum 15 times on each side will help to tone your abs.
