4. Abs Exercises you can do at Home – Mountain Climber

Start in high plank, with your palms flat on the floor, hands shoulder-width apart, shoulders stacked above your wrists, legs extended, and core engaged. This is the starting position.
Keeping your core tight, draw your right knee to your chest.
Return to the starting position and immediately draw your left knee to your chest.
Return your left leg to the starting position. That’s 1 rep.
Continue to alternate. The quicker you move your legs, the more of a cardio challenge this will become.
Make sure to keep your core engaged and back flat throughout. If you have to slow down to maintain form, that’s fine.
Targets the deltoids, latissimus dorsi, triceps, and core.

Return to starting position and immediately draw your left knee to your right elbow.
Continue to alternate. The quicker you move your legs, the more of a cardio challenge this will become.

Targets the core (especially the obliques), glutes, latissimus dorsi, deltoids, and triceps.

6. Leg Lift

Lie faceup with your legs extended and your arms on the floor by your sides. If your lower back needs some extra support, you can place your hands right underneath your butt on each side. This is the starting position.
Slowly lift your legs up and toward your face, keeping them together and stopping when they are about vertical.
Then, slowly lower them back down to the ground. Be sure to keep your back flat on the floor. If you’re having trouble with that or feel tension in your lower back, don’t lower your legs as far down.
