As you enter your 30s , maintaining a strong core and abdominal muscles becomes increasingly important for overall health.
A well-developed core not only supports your spine, but also enhances balance, stability, and functional movement.
Bicycle crunches
Start by lying on your back with your hands behind your head and your legs raised. Bring one knee toward your chest while rotating your torso to bring the opposite elbow toward your knee.
Switch sides as you perform the movement. Remember to keep your abs engaged throughout the exercise.
Mountain climbing pose
This exercise works your torso, shoulders, and legs. It's a full-body workout that burns calories and strengthens your abs.
Start in a plank position with your hands directly under your shoulders. Quickly change positions, bringing your knees toward your chest as if you were running in place.
Maintain a steady pace, keeping your abs tight throughout the movement.
Leg lift
Leg raises focus on the lower abs, helping to strengthen and tone the lower abdomen.
Lie on your back with your legs straight. Slowly raise your legs toward the ceiling while keeping them straight. Lower your legs without letting them touch the ground and repeat.
Hanging leg lifts for abs
This exercise works the entire abdominal area, especially the lower abs, and strengthens the core muscles.
Hold onto a pull-up bar with your hands shoulder-width apart. Slowly raise your legs toward your chest, keeping your legs straight. Lower your legs in a controlled manner and repeat.
