Abdominal Muscles Exercises

Abdominal exercises are known to consume a lot of time and most of us cannot devote enough time for these exercises. But some of the lower abdominal exercises can be done at work. These types of exercises do not demand much time and can be done during your break time in office. To tone the muscles of your upper stomach, you can sit on the edge of a chair and place your arms in such a manner that your back is in a straight position. Contract the muscles of your abdomen, and then lean back gradually so that the upper back is the first part to touch the back of the chair.

Lower Abdominal Exercises And Muscles

To tone the lower area of the abdomen, you can do the following exercise. Before starting this exercise it is necessary to support the upper half of the body by holding on to the armrest of the chair. Then you can sit on the chair without leaning your back, and raise your knees to the level of your chin. Gradually bring your knees to the original position. To add a tinge of intensity to this exercise, you can keep your knees at your chin level for a couple of seconds, without immediately returning your knees to the original position. If this exercise seems too rigorous for you, then you start off by just lifting one knee to the chin, to decrease the stress level.

The next exercise can be utilized to tone the side muscles that are present in the abdomen. First of all you need to loosen your shoulders and then place your right arm on the left armrest flex your abdominal muscles.  The flexing should not be done for more than three seconds. After the right side of the abdomen muscles are flexed then the same exercise should be repeated for the left side of the abdomen. It is important to keep the neck relaxed while performing these exercises and breathing normally is also vital. This exercise is a variation of the popular half Spinal Twist Pose that is used in yoga.

Sit on the edge of a firm chair, with your back straight and your arms resting on your thighs. Inhale deeply, and at the same time arch your back (like a cat) and throw your head back so that your face points to the ceiling. Also, try to shrug your shoulders and squeeze your shoulder blades together.  Exhale slowly and return to the starting position.
