You could be a slim beautiful/handsome person, but does your stomach compliment your physique? It often happens that people who are slim also have a protruding tummy. Well, put the blame on the sedentary lifestyle of people for this. Here are 5 quick exercises that when performed for mere 7 minutes every day can give you the perfect abs you have always longed for
1. BOAT POSE
It is almost impossible to not include yoga poses when it comes to fitness.Lie down on your back with your arms by your side. Now, exhale and lift your legs slightly above the floor then try to touch your toes with your hands by lifting your upper body in a manner that your back remains straight and your abdomen feels the pressure. This posture should look like a boat. Hold this position until you are out of breath. Slowly release the contraction by lowering your legs and arms as you inhale. This yoga pose is great for your abdomen. Do this for about 60 seconds.2. CRUNCHES
This is the most famous and the most effective way to achieve the perfect abs but what is important is that it should be done in the correct way. The correct way of doing this is that you lie flat on your back, your neck lifted in alignment with your straight back, your knees together and bent, your chin lifted up so that it looks like your gaze is on your knee caps. Your hands should be on the back of your ears near your neck, your upper arms should be wide and open so that your chest is visible. Now, exhale and slightly lift your upper body up making sure to keep the arms wide and open and not to dip your chin in your chest. Inhale and slowly lower yourself back to the initial position. Repeat. Do this for about 2-3 minutes taking rest for a few seconds between each set.
3. LEG DROP
Lie flat on your back with your legs joint together. While keeping your back straight, lift your legs together until your legs are at 90 degrees to the floor. Now, slowly bring them down (slightly above the ground) then lift them back to 90 degrees. Repeat. Do this for about 60 seconds.
4. RAISED LEGS ALTERNATE TOE TOUCH
Raise your legs joined together at an angle of 90 degrees to the floor while you lie straight on your back. Now, without arching your back, touch your left toe with your right hand and your right toe with your left hand alternatively. Do this for a minute.
5. PLANK
Lie down on your stomach and lift yourself up so that you are down only on the support of your forearms and toes. Make sure that your back is straight. Your hands should be rolled in a fist rather than lying flat on the floor. Maintain this position for as long as you can. Breathe normally. Repeat. Do this for about 60 seconds.
Spare out just 7 minutes from your busy schedule and love yourself even more!
