How to improve your abs 

EXERCISE 

Sit up 

The sit up is a simple exercise that targets the upper abs and the lower abs. 

The sit up can be performed in a variety of ways. This way it is performed by laying on you back with your feet on the ground and your knees up. While your hands are crossed over your chest lift your upper body upward toward your knees using your abs. Once your upper body reaches your knees return to the starting position. 

The exercise should be done 3 sets of either (10, 15, 20) reps. 

Another alternative is to set a time limit to complete as many as possible (30 sec, 1 min). Work toward using the correct form and increasing your number each time. 

Be sure to use the correct form to protect your neck and back. Beginners could start with 2 sets of 10 reps. 

Sometimes it is helpful to have someone hold your feet down. If no one is available you can place your feet under the sofa or a chair.
