RepSenseiAbs exercises at home
Dead bugs, hollow holds, reverse crunches and planks need nothing but floor space. Make them harder by slowing down, holding longer or adding a backpack.
A simple home routine
Do these in order, 2 to 3 times a week, resting 60 to 90 seconds between sets. When 15 reps feels easy on every set, slow the lowering down or move to a harder exercise below.
| Exercise | Sets | Reps |
|---|---|---|
| Plank | 3 | 10-15 |
| 3/4 Sit-Up | 3 | 10-15 |
| Air Bike | 3 | 10-15 |
| Alternate Heel Touchers | 3 | 10-15 |

Training tips
- Train them like any other muscle: pick a few exercises you can load, such as cable crunches or weighted planks, and progress them over time.
- On crunches and leg raises, think about curling your ribs towards your pelvis rather than just swinging your legs or pulling on your neck.
