Abdominal Muscles That Stand Out

Oblique adjustments

This exercise works out internal and external oblique abdominal muscles. Do these exercises to achieve perfectly sculpted abs!

On an exercise mat, lie on you back with your knees bent at 90 degree angles and your feet flat on the ground.
Place your hands (one on top of the other) behind your head to support your neck. For a more intense workout, place your hands near your ears, without touching them.
Without pushing your head with your hands, contract your abdominal muscles, raise your right shoulder from the ground and bring it to the center. Your body will be turned slightly to the left.
Maintain this position for 1 to 2 seconds and slowly bring your right shoulder to the ground.
Do 2 sets of 10 repetitions and then switch to the left shoulder.

Isometric contraction of abdominal muscles (by leaning on elbows)

This exercise works your abdominal muscles without giving them too much mass.

Lie on your stomach on an exercise mat.
Straighten the top of your body by pressing on your elbows and on your toes until your torso is upright.
Contract your abs and gluteal muscles. Then close your fists, thumbs pointing upwards.
Maintain this position for 30 to 60 seconds.

Dorsal flexing with elevated legs

The following exercise is ideal for women who have weak abdominal muscles. Those who need a more difficult workout can place their hands on their ears or can use weights, with their arms folded across their chest.

Lie on your back with your legs raised on a bench or a chair at an angle of 90 degrees. To exert a greater effort, remove the chair and keep your legs pointing straight up.
With your hands on each side of your head and your elbows wide apart, slowly raise your upper body by contracting your abdominal muscles simultaneously. Your lower back must remain on the floor with your chin pointing towards the ceiling.
Slowly regain the starting position without resting your head on the ground.
