If you’re looking to give your abs a killer, low-stress workout at home, you’ve come to the right place—these three exercises will have your abs burning, without a crazy amount of effort or time required.

 

  1. Supine knee lifts

Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Put a rolled-up towel between your knees and squeeze it. Then, bring your knees toward your chest, lifting your lower back off the floor. Slowly release the legs, allowing your spine to slowly unfurl. Do 10-15 reps.

 

  1. Plank

Place your forearms on the ground and align your shoulders with your elbows. Your arms should be parallel to your body, and your feet should be a shoulder’s width apart. Engage your core and hold the position for 30 to 60 seconds.

 

  1. Draw-in maneuver

Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground. Then, pull your belly button inward toward the spine, eliminating the gap between your lower back and the floor. Hold for 30 to 60 seconds, breathing regularly.

 

For a really great ab workout, repeat this circuit three or four times.
